How does the door prize work? Are they given out to random attendees at the door, or is there a raffle, or what?

Wow. Something I can actually travel to, though it'll require several hours of driving >.< I'll have to see if I have the time (and money) to make it. Sounds like it'd be fun!

I'm pretty sure it's a one-off custom ... but maybe Screamers84 can let us know for sure.

Motto: ""Our children need heroes, now more than ever!""
Weapon: Laser Rifle
DUOCON-307 Overlord is a one off custom from the creative mind of yours truly! Custom figure re-painted by FrenzyRumble, custom box, with Tech Specs re-written by me for RETROCON.



FUNCTION: SELF CONTAINED NOMADIC ASSAULT MACHINE

“I stand my ground. I have conquered EVERY challenge. I hunger for conflict without end”.

A legendary force of inorganic nature, he emerges as the new and deadly Ambassador Of Destruction, a Decepticon ANTI-HERO. Enemies tremble at mere whispers of his existence. This Transector has Autobots guessing as he downgrades himself to standard Earth sized vehicles. Weary of battles unchallenged and searching for new ways to prove himself in combat, Overlord sets Mega & Giga free, foregoing his Godmaster multiple functions activated by them while in engine mode. No location is too remote; no terrain is too tough for this megalithic power-monger as he transforms into BOTH a Gigatank to steamroll a path ahead, and a Megajet for C-SAC duty (Carrier, Spy, & Air Combat). Carries an infra-red heat seeking laser canon, ready for all-out war!

Proudest moment of my life: PETER CULLEN tells me I am *HIS* hero, and the *REAL* Optimus Prime, in front of my son Sean.
