Optimus Prime leads with 50% of the votes.

Bender only has 5% of the votes.

Keep voting PEELers.

[Reply #7 on:]

It's not like he must win. From previous inductions, you can see that more than one robot made it in. Even if Bender doesn't beat Optimus, which was one of my childhood heroes, Bender could still make the hall.
