Couldn't they have made the legs more mobile instead of them being one tall piece of cardboard? they look kinda tiring to walk in.

Agreed but I don't Lego nor Kreo will ever fully adapt to articulated legs, On that note they do look accurate to the Kreon counterparts.

Hmmm, this is actually pretty cool, I think instead of the rigorous task of making a Ani/G1 Blurr cosplay, a Kreon Blurr cosplay would be less taxing. Bwahahaha

Awesome plan

Haha cool stuffs.. too bad I'm working and will not be able to go find them. Wonder if the convention is worth it..

So I'm going to be spending the weekend of the 10th-11th in SG. Is there an easy way to get to Resort World if I wanted to go to Cybertroncom on the 11th?

From where?

Near Chinatown; Amara hotel. Was checking the website and it looks like I could take a taxi or bus. Is that true? If so, I'm definitely going.

Here's some additional official content from CybertronCon itself:

With close to 22 days remaining to the first ever Southeast Asia RWS Singapore Transformers Cybertron Con 2012, Autobot heroes, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, have arrived in Singapore to prepare for the region’s inaugural Cybertron Con. The two wasted no time in getting to know the locals and soaking up the local flavour in a special tour of our Lion City.

IT IS OFFICIAL: TRANSFORMERS MANIA HAS BEGUN!
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Take Singapore Ahead of Cybertron Con 2012



Singapore, 17 February 2012 - Singaporeans were greeted by a surprising yet familiar sight earlier today as two iconic characters from popular entertainment franchise, TRANSFORMERS, took to the streets in their pre-Cybertron Convention 2012 tour of Singapore. Autobot leader Optimus Prime and his trusted brother-in-arms, Bumblebee, arrived early into Singapore and wasted no time in getting to know the Lion City, their home for the next three weeks.

Here for the Resorts World Sentosa Singapore Transformers Cybertron Con 2012 ('Cybertron Con') due to take place from 11 to 14 March, the two began their tour of Singapore ahead of the event's Southeast Asian debut with a visit to locations such as the Old Airport Road Food Centre, the market at Kallang Centre, Chinatown and even Raffles Place, stopping to rub shoulders with the locals who have made such locations a common feature in their daily lives.

Indeed, there was more than meets the eye at Old Airport Road Food Centre this morning for breakfast regulars as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee sat down to a hearty traditional local breakfast complete with Kaya Toast, Kopi, and fried dough, known to many a Singaporean as 'You Tiao'.



A tradition breakfast: Kaya Toast, Kopi and 'You Tiao'.


Captivating onlookers with their sudden and unexpected appearance, the two posed for pictures with eager TRANSFORMERS fans who recognised the two almost instantly.

Said Daniel Tan, 30, designer, who was ecstatic about the Autobots' visit, "Who are they? Optimus Prime and Bumblebee of course! The TRANSFORMERS was a programme that I grew up watching. I had their toys and almost never missed an episode".

Referring to the upcoming Cybertron Con, Tan added, "It will be amazing to see what the upcoming Cybertron Con will bring. It's something that will be hard to miss".

Here's a quick look at Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's journey through the streets of Singapore.

I'm going to go ahead and buy a ticket now. I have a week there to figure out how to get to RW from my hotel.

Hah, I love these Kre-O tour/meet & greet things. It would be hilarious to see these two just going about their day. So awesome. I imagine the girls go nuts for them too, my girlfriend would probably love them.
