I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to go, but I booked the room just in case!

It cannot be a coincidence that Botcon announced this on the weekend of TFCon.

Everyone should note that the last day, June 21, is Father's Day. This might be a good thing (if you're a father and need an argument for going) or a bad thing (if you want to do something with your own father that weekend instead).

Are the rooms already gone? It won't let me reserve any rooms from June 15th through june 21st. Only June 18th to the 21st.

Hrm. Looked into booking a room, but it says the 21st (Sunday) is unavailable to check out. Anyone have any info on this? Or did they somehow fill up completely on that one day?

Figures....The last Botcon I went to was many many moons ago in Rosemont, Illinois in 2004. 2014 is the year I've found myself drifting from the hobby...now I have the chance to book a room in St. Charles at convention location for $114.00 a night? (taxes not included) :BOWDOWN:

. I'm perplexed since it is only about a 2 hour drive for me. I cannot afford the entire attendee package and forget the exclusives, but could go up, enjoy the dealer room, and hope there are some cool freebies. The last time I was there Hasbro did a survey for upcoming Transformer Alternators characters ideas and I got an exclusive set of Energon weapons...that is how long it has been since the Midwest got any love from Fun Pub and Botcon whatsoever. (Botcon 2012 in Texas doesn't count as the Midwest IMHO)

Update: I booked a room for one night (Friday June 19th, 2015) so can go after work and be there for general admission day on Saturday June 20th, 2015. Sucks that the weekend are the ONLY days open to the non attendee package folk like myself. The room looks primo...probably the nicest hotel room I'll ever have the pleasure of staying in

...Wow in retrospect that sounds really really sad.

Regardless of being able to afford the figures...fingers crossed these exclusives utilize some of the great Transformers Prime molds...like we may actually get a Prime Breakdown mold here in the states without having to import. I would also love to see an Ultra Magnus out of Voyager Prime mold as well.

It's not just those two. They also announced that JoeCon will be in Springfield, Illinois in April. Suddenly that's the place to go for Hasbro fans.

That just means we'll need to find someone even more shameless than you to do the streaking. We will start accepting applications immediately, and applicants will need to tell us why they would be a good fit for the position of Party Streaker.

I kinda wanna go, but I saved so much money this year by just going with the non attendee set and buying the rest of the figures from the club. That left over a grand to blow on 3rd party stuff instead. One of these years ill make it back to botcon.

BotCon has Tweeted some interesting announcements regarding the theme and toy reveals to come for the 2015 convention:

Hey BotCon peeps! We will be revealing the BotCon 2015 set theme the week of New Years!

First and ONLY hint. It will NOT be a theme we have done before NOR will it be set in a Universe that we have used for a con set before.

Also, we will be starting the reveals shortly after we announce the theme. Ready to let you all in on the awesomeness!

To clarify. It will NOT be a con set theme we have done before NOR will it be set in a Universe that we have used for a con set before.

What themes have we had so far?

2006: Beast Wars, retconed into Wings Universe
2007: Classics
2008: Shattered Glass
2009: Wings of Honor, alternate G1 Universe next to Classics
2010: Generation 2 in Wings
2011: Animated
2012: Classics vs. Shattered Glass
2013: Machine Wars in Wings
2014: Pirates vs. Knights in Wings

My only good guess would be Primax 209.0 Gamma, aka the Beast Wars Uprising Universe. Would make sense to tie into Alone Together :-?

Agree there. However it would be kind of cool to see some Armada characters redone. Blurr would be my first choice followed by Scavenger (who's toy version sucked)

I thought we could be friends :-(

On a serious note, it's a good time given the molds I can assume (with no factual back-up) could be available:

- Powerlinx Starscream out of Gen. Armada Starscream
- Powerlinx Hot Shot out of Universe Hot Shot (I hate the mold, but I'm surprised this was never done)
- Scavenger out of Gen. Scoop
- Cyclonus, at long last, out of HftD Tomahawk
- Red Alert out of Prime Ratchet
- Sideways out of Gen. Chromia (new head mold would be needed, but I think this could work)
- Blurr out of Gen. Arcee (same as above)
- Galvatron out of the new Armada Leader Megatron
- Demolisher out of FoC Optimus - those shoulder pipes, right?

Lots of new Minicon options - Arms Micron molds, Gen. Targetmasters, and Gen Centuritron. Could even go crazy and do upscaled Microns, like the Race Team using Gen. Skids, CW Dragstrip, and CW Dead End.

And you could drive Minicon collectors insane and put out variants of some of the supposedly never-able-to-be-used-again molds like the Air Defense Team.

Yeah, an Armada set would be balls to the wall cool.

I like all those ideas except for the Fembot ones. Sideways I'd rather see from (aesthetic differences be darned) Animated Prowl. Best motorcycle TF toy ever made, and even has Sideways's motorcycle-front-becomes-the-robot-chest look. Just needs a new head.
