Only 5 out of the last 32 winners were good guys.
There's no way "Synthoids" is eligible. That's like voting Dreadnoks or Humans. Each synthoid is an individual that do not look alike or wear a single uniform. Add Shock Trooper Add Fatal Fluffy Last edited by JediJones; 05-02-2016 at 10:22 AM.. |

They transform from blobs of protoplasm into characters. They're not a character when they're a shapeless blob. Especially when that blob is so undefined it rolls into other blobs and forms a bigger blob. How is it a character when you say there's "4 of them" but when it rolls into a big blob, there's now only 1 of them and no way of distinguishing that there are or ever will be 4 again?
It's like saying in Star Wars that a pile of droid parts in the Sandcrawler is a character called "droids." Those droid parts are just parts, they're not a character until they're built into a specific droid. That protoplasm is the building blocks of a synthoid, not a synthoid himself. That's why when the synthoids are destroyed, they turn back into lifeless blobs. The synthoid no longer exists at that point, just the shapeless protoplasm.

Yes there wil be no generic synthoid. Synthoid Duke or whomever is fine. It's bad enough that people are even nominating them to begin with. Does anyone actually even care about them as characters?

I think they are a cool concept and more memorable villain from Sunbow than some (Gamesmaster, Fatal Fluffies)

I nominated Synthoid Duke. That character is a classic example of the "evil doppleganger" trope, a la Bizarro, Venom. He has a lot of distinct characteristics from Duke including the shifty eyes. The voice actor actually did a good job of making him sound subtly more pissed off than the real Duke. I think he's about due in at this point, just after Fatal Fluffy and Gamesmaster. Gamesmaster's still better because Synthoid Duke didn't yell, "Nyah, nyah, you can't catch me," when he was running away at the end.

The rules state "humanoid" so unless the synthoid mass has turned into a human-like character, it's ineligible.
