Today the gentlemen over at BotCon 2016 released some new details pertaining to the BotCon 2016 comic Dawn of the Predacus. Fellow Seibertronian and Transformers Collectors' Club liaison TF_JW breaks down the details for us.

TF_JW wrote:Yesterday we had the BIG guest news, how about some BIG comic news today? Fun Publications are thrilled to announce that they have partnered with IDW Publishing to produce this year's BotCon comic, Transformers: Dawn of the Predacus!

The comic is written by John-Paul Bove and drawn by the very talented Corin Howell. If you've been following the IDW comics, those names should be very familiar to you! Also familiar to you will be the comic's setting - it is set in the same Beast Wars expanded universe as IDW's two Beast Wars titles: The Ascending and The Gathering!

The first printing of Dawn of the Predacus will be available at BotCon and feature an exclusive cover as well as all of the convention program and event information.

Additionally, by JP Bove directly, we have this extra information about the setting of the story in the wider timeline:

For fans of both Beast Wars and G1, Dawn of Predacus is set during the last 48 hours of the Great War...

The story is completely in continuity (the wibbly wobbly G1, G2, BW continuity) and features some HUGE moments in TF history.

Fellow Seibertronian Cascadia has written a post on our boards informing us of the end of Ask Vector Prime. Here it is below along with a link to Jim Sorenson's facebook post.

Cascadia wrote:Jim Sorenson who has ran the Ask Vetcor Prime page on Facebook has announced that it has come to an end. He has enjoyed having answer many questions in regards to the Transformers universe. He really loved doing it but he felt that it needed to come to end after 9 months of running it.

It is lot of text of him thanking various people who helped make it possible.

So what is up next for Jim?

Well, expect more from the Axiom Nexus News crew, albeit sporadically. Beast Wars Uprising still has a few tales left. I expect I'll be writing up a special BotCon retrospective in a few months. And look for a couple of non-Transformers books from me from IDW Publishing before the end of the year. But for the next few weeks, I'll take some time to relax with my family, play some table-top RPGs, catch up on some superhero tv, and enjoy a slight break from Transformers. But only a slight one, for I do love the richness of the mythology, the intricacy of the tapestry, the depth of the lore. I believe Ask Vector Prime added something new to said mythology, and hope you do to.

Hello Members!

Some exciting updates regarding BotCon 2016 Registration!

First, a reminder about some package details. If you register as a Primus package holder, you will receive not just the 5 figure boxed set, but also a FREE additional Deluxe figure. We are excited to announce that this figure utilizes the Combiner Wars tooling and also features a NEW head sculpt that does not appear on any other souvenirs.

Also, the CLASS KIT (and Assembled Class Kit) features an alternative head sculpt that is not available at retail. You can add an Assembled Class Kit when you register.

Finally, per the BotCon brochure, this year's Golden Ticket features a surprise bonus! That item is in fact an alternate version of one of the Legends Class souvenir items.

Take one last look at the Convention Brochure so you know exactly what you are planning to purchase and we will see you very soon in Louisville, Ky for BotCon 2016,10th April 7-April 10!

Thanks for your support and see you in Louisville!
