Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
Not to mention that at 12 euro per ticket (10 euro pre-registered) I do believe we are the cheapest official convention in the world.

I could see how they would have a problem with us making a profit on their trademark, even though I personally think the name 'Transformations' is different enough from 'Transformers' not to be associated with their copyright mumbojumbo.
The fact however, is that we're NOT a profit-making organisation. It's a non-profit fan gathering event. And some of us are putting a lot of their own free time into organising it. So in light of that, I think their reaction is quite... pathetic.
