Hasbro, either show us the goods or shut up about it, because right now it might as well be fan fiction.
It's stuff that's planned for 2012 or 2013.
I hate to correct the mighty Seibertron, but I thought it was officially stated that it would be the theme for Botcon '13.

YOU'D think with their cash cow coming in less than a month to theaters they'd have more to advertise...
Whats the point of stating that Generations will continue with nothing new to keep our interest?
What ever...perhaps E3 will detail something worth my time and money.
Well Botcon did give me several insights into the TF Brand that I wouldn't have by not going. Seeing all sorts of costumes, flirting with a couple of the cosplay girls, shaking Peter Cullen's hand, hitting up the dealer room, meeting new friends, getting reaquianted with old friends, laughing along with the Voice Actors and being able to chat with anyone there about Transformers.
So yeah, total waste

Well you don't have to justify to us what you do spend your money on. My point was that the reveal/announcement portion sucked!

Sorry if I came off poorly, there's just more to Botcon than just announcements.

I completely agree. While I had a few complaints, I always have a few complaints. I've been to too many of these things not to have preferences from year-to-year. Despite any issues that I had, I did have a blast. It was great seeing old friends once again and some new faces. The registration night went fairly smoothly. Exclusives didn't sell out until Sunday unlike previous years. The dealer presence was extremely strong. I saw a lot of items there this year that I hadn't seen at a BotCon in a few years (mostly thanks to Bodhar and a few other sellers like him). Jon3.0 won 2nd place for his entry into the film fest so I'm sure his experience was awesome. We had a great time at the bar as always. Lots of fun. Had a great past two weeks in California. Good times.
2008 is still my favorite BotCon, but this one was a pretty damn good one as well, despite no major reveals. We all know that we've only got six weeks to wait for something big to be announced.
