I forgot who all won the 2D Art catagories.


As for the Board Wars competition. We won our first game but lost the second. The games consisted of trivia questions being answered by a buzz in type game. 5 man teams and people rotated after each question. First round questions were worth 1,000 points and second round questions were worth 10,000 points. If you buzzed in and where wrong, points were taken away.

We were in a tie breaker round when we lost but I'm still a little confused how we ended up tied to begin with. At the end of our second competition the screen showed us being up by around 16,000 points but there were some answers that had to be hand calculated. I remember we were answering almost all of them correct and they even answered wrong on a few in the 2nd round.

But it was actually pretty fun. Some of the questions were very easy but some, especially old comic questions, were pretty tough.

Congratz Lobo... Now then, I can't believe that the RICOCHET repaint beat Tfmaster's War Within Megatron... Did the judges get drunk after judging yours Lobo and mix up the results with the last two?

Here's some pics of the trophies. Looks very similar to the one's from last year. I gotta say that the trophy itself really is a thing of beauty.






I also want to thank everyone for their support of my work! It really means a lot to me!

You really deserve it man your work is top notch.

Thanks man!

Actually that Prowl repaint really was beautiful! Plus he made 2 identical ones.

It's just how the judges decided.

Well done , Lobo and TFM!!
Congrats!

...

Two repaints win 2nd place?
Two repaints win over a beautifully scratchbuilt kitbash??

I can do two repaints.

The difference?
I haven't done any repaints - so I'll shut up.

In all seriousness - I had no doubts that you guys would win!
Again, congratulations!!

did tfm show any pictures of megatron in alt mode? ive noticed over the last few years the botcon judges like the diversity of the customs, thats the only reason i can guess they didint want two scratchbulds to win first and second,
