AA is normally around the start of June. They had a break this year due to Sven, one of the organisers, having some ongoing health problems. No firm announcement on next year as yet, we'll probably hear something late January or early February. To keep up to date you can find the con website at http://www.autoassembly.org.uk with reports on past events, some electronic TF jigsaws for download and a friendly, if somewhat underused just recently, forum.

also, went out at lunch time and found KO Cyb. Legends Leobreaker and Evac...they are pretty cool, more or less the same paint scheme as the originals, but a lil bigger, look great on top of my work monitor for only £1 each

Where do you find KO's in shops in this country?

The Entertainer has a few KOs, including a craptastic G1 Prime knock off which makes me want to gauge my own eyes out with an icepick.

HA!

lol sorry bout that.

It's quite the opposite for me. At first, I was given a budget of £100 off me parents. But now when I go shoppin with me ma, she'll say 'you want that?', and we'll buy it.

I'm up to £150 atm, cos I'm a reasonable kinda guy

It was definitely supposed to be some time this month. Excellent series, watched it all on youtube ahead of picking up the season 1 DVDs. I really wasn't expecting to get into it with all the bad press it's had over the years but it just blows away anything before or since. Don't listen to the haters, buy Beast Machines.

I went to fun G-Mex convention today, much fun was had, AND I spent under £60, I have such selfcontol. It was for art you see. My friend spent over £180; I wish I had a Student loan :-(

Simon Furman didnt show up though, ah well.

I watched it on Youtube around the start of the year, because I hadn't seen it before and I had no (feasable) way of watching it. Expecting bad things due to the press, I actually found I loved it. It's my third fav series after BW and G1 (in that order). No other show has me actively cheering for both sides to win for completely different reasons.

So, I'll keep my eyes peeled for any appearances by it.

Well, seeing all the interest in BM, I think its time to publicise my after BM comic, anyone wishing to see preview pieces for my comic, with art by the amazing Psychomud, check out the link below :grin:

And MB,

Sun Nov 18, 2007 12:10 pm

yes, its got me on the edge of my seat in anticipation!

Don't suppose anyone has a spare backplate for a G1 Birdbrain pretender shell? Turns out the one I found (with the right gun) in a box at the seller's stall wasn't actually the right one. I'm otherwise pretty happy with it, it's in much better condition than a lot of the stuff the guy had.

Yes, I went to Collectormania today. Also picked up a loose Armada Sea Team, Wheeljack's Minicon and (from a different stall) G1 deco movie Jazz, albeit at a rather hefty cost for that last one.

I can get Beast Machines, please tell me whether or not I want to. I love what I've seen of Beast Wars but that's only around ten episodes so is BM worth my outlay at this stage?

News Credits: 6 · Sun Nov 18, 2007 3:16 pm

I've been hearing alot about this Collectormanina lately.
What is it? :???:

It's a convention of sorts. Lots of guests doing signings, photo ops, Q&A sessions and stuff (Including actors from Star Trek Enterprise, Stargate Atlantis, Babylon 5 and old Doctor Who), plus a large dealer's hall where you can buy all sorts of merchandise and stuff. One was held in Manchester this weekend.

The entire series is on youtube if you want a taste ahead of shelling out for the DVDs. It's a lot more grown up and darker than other TF cartoons. Basicly there are only a handful of Maximals left on Cybertron after Megatron manages to wipe out the entire population replacing them with an army of Vehicon drones. It deals with issues of spirituality and the balance between nature (Maximals) and technology (Vehicons). Megatron has the upper hand for the majority of the series giving it a real guerilla warfare feel. Hope that was general enough not to be spoilerific.

Plus the opening music is totally banging.

edit - Here's the first episode in three parts.
