So? Besides 2006 and this past year, everything has been Classics related. Don't believe me? Let's revisit a bit. :)
JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:2005: a random story
2006: the prelude to Beast Wars
2007: Classics
2008: Shattered Glass
2009: Wings of Honor, the era before the Great War retold
2010: Generation 2 retold
2011: Animated

2005: Currently being repurposed and shoehorned into the G1 Classics styled fiction.
2007: Straight up Classics with the Gobots twist for funsies.
2008: Separate universe, separate story... driven by Classics Cliffjumper, Classics toy molds and the club fiction. Shattered Glass Autobots intend to invade what we know of as the G1 Classics universe eventually.
2009: Sure, it's a separate theme but these are also intended for the G1 Classics storyline that the club continues to drive.
2010: Are we seeing a pattern yet? These characters are the natural progression of G1 Classics continuing the club retelling and driving the fiction in their way.
So really, we haven't seen too many original ideas from the Botcon themes. For them to revisit a very specific theme from a given year would be fine with me but not very likely. Honestly, I'd love a year where we got bits of all the FunPub themes so far as toys. Pre-BW and SG would be my bigger wants at this point though.
:BOT:


Maybe funpub in 2012 can do a Botcon convention beastmachines or even better a Transtech theme.

That's a little closer to me than California OR Florida...I'd be good with that.

Wish there was a poll set up so we could all vote on where the next convention would be...Hmmmmm....Think The Powers That Be would listen?

Dude, I'd be fine with that, too. But we just built a huge , awesome convention center here in Jackson, MS. I know my wishful thinking has gone to extremes, but it would be nice to get at least one event worth talking about here in this F'd up state. It seems like all we get are gun and knife shows here.

kinky

I could probably house a few of you during Botcon if it came to Phoenix. It needs to be announced here first though.


With the upgrades at Harris Ak-Chin it would be exciting if it's just about in my back yard in/near my "backyard"...we also have Fransisco Grande just outside of Casa Grande, but I don't know if the facilities there would be big enough. I could show Ryan a place aside from Sonic that sells Chicago style hot dogs near downtown. The fish and chip plate, left a little to be desired.

Then well, I'm not sure if CAC would agree to be over-run by Cybertronians for an entire weekend.

Guess I am a little to willing to hand over my town to Cybertronian law....but then that might not be so bad... :twisted:

Not if you take a boat across the Gulf :p
Looking for the Megatron gun (or just the stock) that came with 20th anniversary MP Optimus Prime.

When do they usually announce what location Botcon will take place at? I'm trying to plan my 2012 conventions, and I would love to go to Botcon. But, I'm also trying to save up for San Diego Comic-Con next year; so I kind of need to know soon.

There is no "usually".

Despite the convention happening every year and the sway of a multi-national toy company leading the way, it's a big cluster fuuuuuuuuuun time until booking and registration.

In the end, a wizard makes the convention appear and you have to do some shit like running into a wall at a train station to convince yourself you are there.

Being biased like some others, I can say"Botcon come to VT". Being realistic, I just know almost nobody wants to come to VT.
