Excelsior Moo Believers!

With the snow finally coming to a stop, the plow trucks in full force, and Pre-Registration for Dairycon 2011 in full swing, the Dairycon Staffers have decided to share a small teaser for the upcoming show!

While the mystery figure was originally hinted at during the 2010 show, they've updated the placeholder page for "Reinforcements For Dairycon" with new information!

PRETENDER CONVOY has called out for Heroes to aid the DAIRYCONS in their BATTLE FOR BREW CITY!! Now you can help! Clip and save your valuable MOO-POINTS from various Dairycon items. Bring them to the show, and get your own REINFORCEMENTS FROM DAIRYCON!

REINFORCEMENTS FROM DAIRYCON is an ongoing series of figures within the Dairycon Universe. Intertwined with each other and the mainline figures, REINFORCEMENTS FROM DAIRYCON promises to be the most exciting series yet! A different figure will be available each year for the next several years. Attend all six shows (2011 thru 2016) and assemble your very own ultimate REINFORCEMENTS FROM DAIRYCON collection!

-While no name was given, those lucky enough to have purchased the Dairycon: 10 Years Hardcover can find themselves some clues to his identity within its pages! For the rest of us, it's only a matter of time before the six 'placeholder' names are revealed. But, with the figure having a subtly Prime-esque countenance; could it be that we're seeing the nexus of all things Dairydom?

-And as always, keep an eye out for more information, and feel free to check out the Dairycon websitefor more information on all things Dairycon!

So is Dairycon an official, Hasbro supported convention like Botcon? Are their exclusives made by Hasbro or are they repro'd?

No, BotCon is the only one sponsored and supported by Hasbro. Dairycon and the like have no connections, and the Dairycon toys are either reproed or handpainted customs (poor guy). As Hasbro has nothing to do with the conventions, there are no previews or special guests, just games, contests and the dealer rooms.

G1 Devastator with RM Prime's head? WTF?

[Bumblevivisector]

If you've see those KO sets of Optimus Prime with Constructicon, Protectobot, and Combaticon limbs, this doesn't seem all that bizarre. Not that I'm implying the toy's actually made from KO parts, I'm just saying it's sort of been done before, leaving it not quite as nutty as Pretender Convoy. I'm sure they'll come up with a much better backstory than some KO company though.

I know there stuff tends to be a bit on the wild side , but this actually looks cool!

Well, the Dairycon packaging states the toys aren't for kids, and *does* have a recommended age range of "33+"!

Sorry 'bout the mix up. I'm not that into TF comics, with the exception of Straxus, so... yeah.

In regards to the official licensed figure, you're both right... from a certain point of view... http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nexus_Maximus

But good job picking up on the humor!
