I'm really kinda destroyed by this news, and i hope that some sort of "Transformers" con comes back in it's place. I really want to go to one of these at least one time in my life.

I know its not a big deal to everyone else who has either had the privilege to go, or generally doesn't care, but the convention means alot to me.

Dont worry, these events wont end. Botcon, that specific con, will end but there are still a bunch of TF shows all over the states. Plus Hasbro is rpesent at both NYCC and SDCC, you can go to those.
AND word on the street is Hasbro will be running these shows from now on and make them more filled with activities, kinda like Star Wars celebration. So dont worry, you can a) still assist product reveals at other shows and b) still participate in whatever Hasbro plans next.

Thanks for the heads up! Wish I could snag this version along with my previous versions. Note to the author of this article: Please update to read "Limited Edition vinyl LP." If you look at some of the pix,the cover sticker reveals that it's pressed on 180 gram vinyl. This refers to the (vinyl thickness in particular and) extra weight of the record itself.

I changed it in the news article, thanks!

You mean the "Alt Modes" toys with the big heads? IIRC they're gonna be either blind bagged or blind boxed.

You're not alone. I've been to a couple and regret not going to this one, it was even close to me. I hope Hasbro picks up the ball with this and runs with it, or at the very least expands into other Comic Cons, or SOMETHING, but there's nothing like a convention full of like minded fans.

I want the convention to keep going so that way some day I can go to one

Same boat, brother. We're in the same boat.

The wait is on for someone to perform a quality rip :3

What, no robot modes for the individual Titan Masters?

Not yet at least.

After packing up our hauls to head home, carytheone and I put some combined brain power on Reflector to figure out how he "works".



Then we got weird on it.

Surveillance Crab Mode


Microchange Crab Mode


Fun times!

Hey, I remember that, good times!

Awesome stuff Cobotron I hope to pick one of those sets up from the TFCC web-store this week! I HOPE!!

Oh wow, that famed mode actually looks pretty good in your pics, much better put together than the model on display at BotCon.

I want one sooooooo bad...

If there's any left over (and guessing from the mixed reaction, there could be some left over), they'll go on sale on the Club's store (if you're a club member). They're like $62 a pop, so definitely a sweet deal compares to past souvenirs (compared to the 2014 ones I have, I should say)!

It was reported on Twitter that the Club sold off huge lots of the souvenirs to BBTS.

I guess with it being their last year, they wanted guaranteed sales over stock sitting unsold.
If they have sold them to BBTS then unsold stock is BBTS' concern not Fun Pub's.

You know what I'm gonna do itscram? I am saying screw this and not play this game. I will instead wait for Takara to do something. We have seen that Takara can do their own thing and I dont see it out of the realm of possibility for them to do their own reflector with this mold. And if they made a box set of three, I am sure they would even go and retool the chest on one of them to have that circle. And if they dont, oh well, another (and better) reflector will come out someday. As was the case for any exclusive once representing a character like GDO Swerve and Springer, or Club Chromedome, or Club Rewind and on and on.

I like the way you think WJ. It's funny how all of those figures you mentioned were replaced with newer better options. Time for some Cobotron-esque ninja-patience

Although I should include you in the ninja-patience master teachings now..

That's the one thing that annoys me about TFCC/BotCon exclusives, as much as I like how smart they are in their usages; for popular characters like Chromedome and Thundercracker and Thrust and et cetera they'd eventually get legit mass release sooner or later, it's just an inevitability of they aren't a niche character (great example would be this year's Unit-3/Under-3, or Alpha Trizer from 2014).

For those who were unable to attend BotCon 2016 and for those who want to relive the memories, Seibertron.com brings you a piece of the Stan Bush and Vince Dicola concert. Check out the video below for Bush and Dicola performing "The Touch" and "Dare" live. When you are done you can check our various galleries of BotCon 2016.

Right before he played The Touch, he played Til' All Are One. It was an awesome triple dose of Transformers song goodness.

It was actually corrected on Twitter that BBTS only bought the left over Airazors that WEREN'T moving. Apparently two nondescript individuals bought the Megatrons; one bought 30 another bought the last 12.

Yea that sounds about right...While I was waiting at the door to get in between the Hasbro panel and the Greg Berger q & a panel on Sat the story about someone buying all the megaton's was brought up, the guy checking stamps on your hands who either was volunteering, working for fun pub or something stated that it was a guy who bought 28, then he got kind of snippy with the people he was talking to since they were talking about not getting one, or not having them available, he was blaming it on the club for allowing the sale which is true, but then he just kind of snarled "being honest I mean I bought 12 of them do you want to hang me too?" he then started commenting on scalpers, and I just slipped into the panel so not sure what else was said but at the time I kind of figured he was just talking but maybe he was telling the truth.

[BW] Rainmaker wrote:Huh...it's not a CD, it's Vinyl...

I never really understood the side stuff, can anyone explain it to me?

Wish I could have one (not on Vinyl though), but most of it is free on Youtube.

Vinyl sounds 100 times better than CD / listening to it online. The sides mean that you flip the record over. It is a double LP so side 1/2 are on the first record and 3/4 is the second record

My 3 year old is obsessed with The touch, DARE and any other movie tracks. My daughter is a fan of transformers but cannot listen to the touch ever again. We have probably listened to the touch 300 times in the past month.

Just when you thought we were done with Botcon 2016, well ...... you were wrong! Fresh into the Seibertron.com galleries we are excited to bring to you our latest gallery: The Hall of Fame with inductees Judd Nelson and David Kaye and the Stan Bush/Vince Dicola Concert! Some of the images have been mirrored below, but you can head on over to the full gallery, which can be found here! Check it all out, and let us know what you think in the comments section below. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Don't forget to check out our video of Stan Bush and Vince DiCola performing "Dare" and "The Touch" on Seibertron.com's YouTube channel below!

I don't know who bought what or anything like that because I was too busy enjoying myself. That small disclaimer out of the way, I have to say something else: if true, this is not the minor conspiracy theory it reads as. Literally anyone at the show, come Saturday morning, could have bought any quantity of anything at the club store. I could have walked up and bought all the Under-3 figures, or Reflectors, or Megatrons if early enough. There was no purposeful "let's sell this unsold stock to a dealer" strategy.

Rounding off some of the last strands of BotCon 2016 news, from Louisville, KY, Seibertron.com is happy to add another video to its YouTube channel, to accompany the Stan Bush/Vince DiCola performance and Hall of Fame ceremony from the Friday night, as seen here. The new video shows voice actor David Kaye accepting his award, as he ranges through a number of characters that enabled him to receive it. Check it out below!

The final fully new gallery, before Seibertron starts bringing out new toy galleries, is all about the biggest part of a BotCon experience: the people who attend. By clicking on any of the images below, you can take a look at a gallery of what happens at BotCon, who shows up, how time is killed, how much hard work and hard partying goes on behind the scenes, and what you might have missed from the other side of a screen. Browse through!

Featuring Venus Terzo, Seibertron, Stan Bush, embarrassing/shameless megatronus, joevill, Gregg Berger, Starscream, carytheone, Cobotron, Conterpunch, ScottyP, razorclaw0000, Va'al, xRotorstormx, Unicron, and many more.


Prints of BotCons Past


Two guys, one Kup


An Actual Berger!


A Twincast Shot


Some Other Suckers


Dealin'


Superior Cosplay


The Seveneers


Bush & Seibertron

Hey, I know some of those folks. All shady as hell.

Where do I get that Kup cup? Some darn cat recently broke my monkey mug and I've been inconsolable but that thing would probably lift me out of my funk!

This year's lithographs were SO nice looking, but I forwent picking up any of them since I had other priority purchases to make and don't have the wall space for them anyway.

But still, these are simply gorgeous. And fantastically commemorate the past Fun Pub fiction of Animated, Beast Wars: Uprising, Classics/Shattered Glass, and TransTech.

Alright, can someone tell me who all these guys are? I know 2 but I want to know the rest

I'll give you a clue.
I have a beard.

Here's Clue #2:

I'm not in any of these pics.

Counterpunch establishes his rule over ScottyP. xRotorstormx cannot afford knees on her trousers because of toys. Razorclaw000 is just really happy to be there. Starscream's forehead is protected from sunlight. Megatronus looks happy, but is planning how to kill us all. You probably know the other two.

No duh Sherlock.

well....your the one that stated ALL

& not all men in that photo have beards!

so your statement wasn't 100% accurate!

I was implying that Va'al was in fact female.

At least he got the joke.

well.....it was aimed at him!(your joke) so i would've thought so

Hey, my backside made it to the background of Ryan's Stan Bush pic. I was 45 degrees counter-positioned to Stan. Conversed with him Sunday; did my best to contain my blithering, and procured an autographed CD. Nice guy.
