Are that head and that body compatible, though? And would there be enough clearance room on the Darksteel body for Bakudora's horns to allow the head to be stored away in beast mode?

Careful. FunPub might be listening.

I wish I had them out of storage so I could check. Was hoping for a gaudy G2 Flamefeather out of the US version to go with Botcon Cindersaur. He needs a friend. Finish the trio with Sparkstalker out of Lazerback.

Darn it, I don't care if it's Hasbro or a third party. Someone just give me a Nautica toy now!

Nautica looked a bit like Windblade in the other print. Hmmm...

I want that Nautica, like seriously, GIMME!

I figured she was a boat lol... these hardcover volumes need to come out a little bit faster...

Looking good Nautica!

That is one sexy sexy mechanical construct. You know, thinking about the argument about gender in transformers, they have really always had gender. I mean they all sounded like men right? Had they all looked like Whirl or maybe Obsidian then I'd think they were gender less robots but really I think they always had gender so, having females seems like a forgone conclusion. At least too me.

SOAPBOX!

Not to mention the fact that Whirl's holo-avatar is this helps your argument.



Still, when I read Whirl he sounds like a wiseguy to me, like a young Steve Buscemi.

We've seen a couple of these over the past year already, but the prints that IDW colourist John-Paul Bove will be bringing to BotCon 2015 have a certain something to them, and definitely could use a boost on our front page - plus, we get another Casey Coller/Bove collaboration, featuring Arcee!

Check out below three examples of the art deco inspired propaganda prints featuring Optimus Prime, the Seekers, and Soundwave, and make sure to pick one or all of them up next weekend, and take a look at the new addition to the previous Nautica and Blurr announcements.

If I was going this year I would go so broke off prints. Just some amazing stuff being done right now by all these artists!

the first three remind me of WWII propaganda posters

Diggin that 80s neon behind Arcee. Those colors pop!

All these start times is going to make queueing up early confusing. Whatever.

What if someone arrives late (say, Friday night). Can they pick up their sets sometime Saturday of Sunday, or is it all completely closed at that point?

Walk-up Late Registration is on Friday morning at 9:30am.

Contact Fun Pub about your registration situation to see what can be done.

Right. I might be able to get there Friday night. Hence the unfortunate question.

It seems general admission is $60 for Saturday, which might be the way to go.

Do they have a direct number to call? All they seem to have is an email.

There is a number given both here and here (at the bottom of the page).

Well, I got their "we're away for Botcon!" message. I guess no one is manning the office at all? They really are a small shop.

I guess an email query is my only recourse for now. Thanks, Sabr.
