    Yeah, but the people behind Optimus didn't. Hasbro didn't realize his death in the 80s film/cartoon would be so traumatic to some kids - to this day those that were in the loop then acknowledge they didn't realize how iconic Optimus had become, if they did - he (probably) wouldn't have croaked in the film to make way for the new toy line.

I wish Solid Snake was higher on the list, but they always shoot down my irrational fanboy requests.

Damn its one game a page! Thats annoying.

How about Aerith/Aeris. She ultimately called upon Holy to save the planet for the Meteors destruction. And died doing so. Shes a hero in my book.

And no, im not one of those "FF7 best game ever made" fanboys; but I do think she did a noble thing.

  Killosity, Aerith/Aeris' death is one of gaming's greatest moments. I agree she should have been on the list.

    that still leaves 19 pages before #1, which is all that matters. D:
    
    every list ever can be judged entirely by it's #1

Cool, Samus is number 20, and Solid Snake is number 17. Even Ellen Ripley is in the list. They chose some pretty good heroes.
