The Energon Pub

Hey guys.

I know I haven't been around for a while, but as some of you may know I've been on staff for a while now with TFCon and this was my first year in a major roll.

This year I was co-host to the Third Party Panel. With the help of Ceno Kibble and Protoman I feel we really knocked it out of the park! For those of you that were in attendance, I'm sorry I wasn't up there right at the start as there was a few last minute snafu's I had to take care of once the pane began.

I hope you all enjoyed the panel, and all the big reveals. I worked very hard on that PowerPoint and I'm happy with it, but know I can make it better for next year.

If you have any questions about the panel or the products on display, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks to those who have already given such positive comments and constructive critiques.

Wow, I didn't know about this at all. Congrats Down_Shift !

There were a TON of huge reveals this year for sure. There is so much new stuff being posted from the con this year that it's making my head spin (and my wallet cry ).

I would have liked to have been there to see it. Do you still have the PowerPoint? Is it kosher to post it here for us, or at least the pics? Some of the reveal pics are as from a smartphone from across the room.

Congrats!

I too would love to have the original powerpoint, or at least the images from it.

I would love to be able to post the slides, but I've been asked to keep them to myself. I think the slides will go public soon if that's any help.

Unfortunately, the Function x videos were never meant to go public. I mean I am very happy people got to see it, but at the same time is sucks they had to be pulled.

If I get the okay to post them, I will post them here!

We were supposed to have more prototypes available for display as well as a limited run of Quantron for sale but thanks to customs being a bunch of D-BAGS it all got sent back.

Yeah, that's what I figured would be the case. If and when you get the okay, that would be awesome!

And that sux about the customs snafu. I guess that means that Quantron is really close...

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Loved everything in the presentation.

If your looking for feedback to make it better next time. Even though I thought this time was perfect. Then I'd suggest you allow fans who attend the convention to ask questions, in a 10 minute Q & A session.
So fans everywhere can find out more info.

I have another question. Did anyone ask or did MMC reveal any update info on their Carnifex toy which is a update on the 1988 Masterforce Over Lord toy. Will MMC Reveal more info or reveal updated pics of Carnifex Over Lord at the Upcoming October 2014 TFCon Chicago convention?

I would have loved to have more time for a Q&A but given the length of the presentation we only had a measly 4 minutes at the end. There are pros and cons to the panel being as long as it is. Big ones are:

Pro - tonnes of new stuff to show folks

Con - too much stuff to show withing a given time frame. Doesn't leave us a whole lot of time to answer fans. I would love to have the time to interact with people during the panel though. Maybe next year I can get it stretched to an hour and a half instead of 45 minutes.

As for what's to be shown next from MMC, the will for sure have new stuff for Chicago and they might even have new stuff for Auto Assembly. I know CenoKibble is working hard to make that a great show as well.

Weather or not they are willing to show the prototype for Carnifex at that time is up to them. I would imagine they will show more of the Reparation Department and then some in Chicago. I'm really looking forward to it being a great show!

So Fansproject are doing some dinobots, how long had you guys known about them before the convention?

Honestly, like Tuesday.

It's no secret how hush hush they like to be. Even Boris & Spencer from A3U/FPC have a hard time with communication. I know one of the guys from FP pretty well but it's always hard to get a hold of him.

On the other hand I've known about the Dinobots for about a year.
