Here's the latest update from our friends at Auto Assembly:

We're in the last couple of weeks before Auto Assembly 2011 and currently putting this year's edition of The Cybertronian Times to bed. It's shaping up to be another cracking edition, in a similar vein to last year's sell-out edition and we can't wait to let you see it on the day, although we aren't going to be stopping with that and sitting back and relaxing, oh no! There are times when a year's gap between Auto Assembly and new editions of The Cybertronian Times is a bit too long. With that in mind we are putting together a new ongoing fanzine to help tide you over in those months where AA seems just too far away, so later this year we will be launching CT Alpha, an ongoing companion to The Cybertronian Times...

So why tell us now you ask? The answer is fairly straightforward... Instead of just churning something out, we'd like to offer you the chance to help shape the look and feel of the magazine. So at 11:30 am on Sunday 14th August 2011 we will be holding an open forum for you to come along and do just that at Auto Assembly 2011! We'll be discussing the fanzine, and getting your feedback and some of your ideas and if anyone is interested in contributing then they can let us know. Now we know there is lots already taking place at the convention, and and we have a fairly packed event so if you can't make it and still want to pass on your ideas to us, we'll have contact information available on the day for you.

Now there will be all sorts of questions going through your heads right now, mostly about how often it will come out, how many pages and how much is this going to cost me? We are going to have to be coy about some of these details for the time being and more will be revealed at the discussion itself. However, what we can tell you just now, aside from a promise that each issue will have more than 16 pages in it is that the first issue of CT Alpha will be released on 19th September 2011 and will be absolutely free. That's right - FREE!

We are looking forward to seeing you there at the discussion forum at Auto Assembly 2011, and sharing some great ideas with you.

Auto Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the website now. For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the guests and activities taking place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk

f you haven't already pre-registered, it's time to hurry up! Pre-registration for Auto Assembly 2011 closes in just THREE WEEKS at 10:00 pm GMT on Wednesday 10th August 2011!

The convention is fast approaching and if you want to get a personalised name badge and have some of the better, more limited free gifts in your goodie bag, as well as earlier admission to the convention, then you need to book your tickets online as soon as possible. We will have tickets available on the day for one day and full weekend passes, but as you will need to complete registration forms when you arrive, these will take longer for you to get into the convention.

Passes won't be sent out in advance of the convention this year. Instead we will be making them available for all of you to pick up at the convention in a series of designated pick up times starting from noon on Friday and continuing on Saturday and Sunday allowing for those of you who can only make in on those days and for single day attendees so even if you can't book until a few days before, you will still have a pass waiting for you to collect along with your bag of free gifts!

Auto Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the website now.

We are now being joined by comic colourist John Paul Bove who will be making his Auto Assembly debut this year and making a staggering 15 guests! John Paul has worked for IDW and Marvel and has worked on the New York Comic Con variant cover of Transformers Issue 12 alongside Casey Coller, copies of which will be on sale at Auto Assembly 2011 on the 3 Darth's Comic table, who have generously sponsored his appearance at the convention.

John Paul will be on the 3 Darths table to sign autographs and colour sketches for fans throughout the weekend, and will join our other comic guests on stage for the Q&A session on Saturday.

Here's the latest update from our friends at Auto Assembly:

Every year Auto Assembly has a charity auction and raffle to raise money for a number of good causes and Auto Assembly 2011 is no exception. This time, it is raising money for three different charities and hopes to beat last year's record-breaking £2,200 and we are convinced that our great charity auction will help us to do just that...

We will be holding two charity auctions over the course of the weekend, each one hosted by our guest auctioneers - David Kaye and Gregg Berger - and feature some fantastic items. These include signed photos of Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Shia La Boeuf, Rosie Huntington Whitely, Corey Burton and original Comic artwork from artists such as Casey Coller and IDW artist-of-the-moment, Andrew Griffith!

You can download a full list from the convention website right now!

We have also just uploaded our latest video to youtube which has an update on some of this year's competitions, our workshops, and a recap on some of the guests attending the convention this year as well as two rather special prize draws for those of you who have pre-booked for the convention...

You can find this latest video on our youtube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV2_TMEtKaM

Don't forget that bookings for the convention close in just 14 days and after then you'll have to come along and pay on the door!

Auto Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the website now.

Auto Assembly is already looking forward to their 2012 event, see details below:

Auto Assembly 2011 hasn't even happened yet but with a move to a new, bigger venue next year there is already an excitement about our NEXT convention for 2012. As many people weren't able to join us this year, and many fans wanted to come over from outside of the UK but couldn't for one reason or another, we have decided to open bookings for Auto Assembly 2012 NOW so you can all get your tickets early for the European Transformers event of the year...

The convention will be taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 and will be held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel which is located near Birmingham International Airport, Birmingham, England. As always, the convention will have our usual mix of dealers, guests, workshops, videos, displays, competitions and much more and we will be announcing the first of our THREE voice actors next month at Auto Assembly 2011.

To book your tickets or to find out more, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk

If you are interested in attending next year as a dealer, or are interested in sponsoring the convention in any way, please email us at autoassembly@aol.com

Don't forget that tickets are still available for Auto Assembly 2011 taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the website now. For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the guests and activities taking place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk

We hope to see you all in August... whichever year it may be!

Marvel UK were renowned for producing some of the best Transformers comics ever written, thanks to the talents of Simon Furman. One of the most notable stories he produced during the comic's incredible 332 issue run was "Target 2006" which was set immediately after Transformers: The Movie and Auto Assembly 2011 is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this landmark comic...

As you know, the convention is running from 12th - 14th August 2011 and usually the Friday night is an informal get-together to get everyone in the relaxed mood for the main convention, with videos and one or two other fun activities. However, this year we are having our first ever Friday night guest panel! Taking to the stage will be Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior to talk about their work on Target 2006 in a special discussion hosted by IDW artist/writer Nick Roche who worked on the covers for the IDW re-prints of these monumental books!

It will take place on the Friday evening of the convention but, as always, the Friday evening programme is EXCLUSIVELY for those fans who have purchased a weekend pass for the convention! This is going to be a fascinating insight into a remarkable comic book and is something you won't want to miss!

Finally, we have just released our latest news update video to our official Youtube Channel. It has details and updates on all of competitions taking place over the weekend, information on the charities that we are raising money for this year and a bit of information about Auto Assembly 2012 as well. Check out the video here:-

We're just 11 days away from Auto Assembly 2011 but we're not finished with our big announcements yet...!

We are proud to announce that we are continuing to develop our relationship with Hasbro UK and once again they will be having a display at the convention this year showcasing some of the latest Transformers available. They are also going to be donating some prizes for us to give away at the convention but we're going to be leaving details of that as a surprise for the weekend itself.

We still have more big announcements to come and the clock is ticking away now for you to hurry and pre-register to guarantee your place at Europe's Largest Transformers Convention! Pre-booking will get you earlier admission to the event, a better chance for more free gifts in your goodie bag, and you'll be automatically entered into two free prize draws, one of which is to win autographs from various Transformers actors including Peter Cullen and Shia La Boeuf!

If you're not able to join us this year, don't forget that bookings are open now for Auto Assembly 2012 taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012. Tickets are selling at an astonishing rate with almost 40 sold in the first week!

Auto Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the website now.

I am gutted that I've had to pull out of doing a write up for this years convention, absolutely gutted. Next year will be off the cards for me too as my line of work is part of the London Olympics.

Damn real life getting in the way of giant freaking robots!!

Kudos to all at AA for what they gave put together, dare I say this seems to be shaping up to be the biggest ever?

You may have thought that you had seen all of our major announcements regarding Auto Assembly 2011, but we said we had a few more special announcements that we had held back - and here's one of the biggest that we have been wanting to tell you all about for quite some time...

The upcoming Transformers Universe MMO is on course to be one of the most eagerly awaited Transformers games EVER. The online MMO will be giving players the chance to take charge of a brand new self-created Autobot or Decepticon and play against thousands of other players across the globe!

The game is being created by Jagex, the British developers who are responsible for Runescape which is the world's most popular free-to-play MMOG and over 40 other online titles.

Jagex will be at Auto Assembly 2011 and will be taking to the stage for a presentation on the game and for a Q&A Session on the Saturday afternoon which promises to be one of the hits of the convention, where they will be revealing some new information about the game EXCLUSIVELY to Auto Assembly attendees!

That's not all though, we can also now reveal that we are being joined by our SIXTEENTH guest!

Courtesy of Josh Burcham's deviantART account we have a first look at one of this year's Auto Assembly exclusive prints featuring Overlord as seen in Last Stand of the Wreckers. Art by fan favorite Nick Roche and colors by the aforementioned Josh Burcham.

So this here is the first of two exclusive prints Nick Roche so graciously allowed me to color for Auto Assembly this year!

it's so badass how he's sitting in his throne with all those dead Autobots beneath him (i like how it shows an autobot who has no brain cause it's been shot/ripped off!).

With less than a week to go before the Transformers event of the year, it’s decision time - are you going to join us in giving a thunderous farewell to the Holiday Inn, in it’s final year as AA central?

We’ve done all we can to persuade you – we’ve told you about our room full of Transformers dealers, our guest panels, exclusive giveaways, our unveiling of new and never before seen video game information from Jagex... we’ve even told you that Hasbro will be in attendance this year to add a final shine to what is certainly going to be the biggest and most phenomenal event we have ever hosted.

But still, with just four days until pre-registration closes, some of you are undecided... so how about, rather than taking our word you listen to what some of our friends have got to say about us... and my, do we have friends in high places!

Firstly, we have a special Auto Assembly 2011 message from Optimus Primal himself, Mr Garry Chalk!

And not to be outdone, with the appliance of science we are able to bring you this special presentation put together for you all by Mr Paul Eiding himself - the voice of Generation 1 Perceptor.

Also... who remembers these special messages from last year?

Friends, your heroes have spoken! Come to Auto Assembly 2011! And let’s break that European attendance record one more time! If you can't make it this year, don't forget you can book NOW for Auto Assembly 2012 and beat the rush!

Auto Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August 2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and tickets are available from the website now.

The print is very similar to a splash page in the books, but does not reveal the final results of the story. Plus its a year old, has a TPB out, and has had numerous new stuff compared to it.

So the spoilers alert is a bit unrightfully claimed.

It's mainly just a really cool print of Overlord, probably something Nick did in his sketchbook for the series, and then decided to finish.

Colorist Josh Burcham has revealed the second Auto Assembly 2011 exclusive print by fan favorite artist Nick Roche. Like the first print, which features Overlord, this print brings us two more characters from the ever popular Last Stand of the Wreckers, Impactor and Springer. Image mirrored below.
