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:-

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'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. 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 http://www.autoassembly.org.uk

We hope to see you all soon!

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! A late addition to our already stunning line-up is Marvel G1 artist and inker Stephen Baskerville who will be making his Auto Assembly debut this year. He will be taking to the stage as part of our revised comic panel on Saturday afternoon joining Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman to talk about Transformers #81...

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

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!

http://video.ak.fbcdn.net/cfs-ak-ash4/2 ... 652bd7b896

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. 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 http://www.autoassembly.org.uk

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.

If anybody is attending the convention, I would love it if you could pick up both of these prints for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

In light of the recent, saddening news coming from various cities around the UK, the Auto Assembly Committee has been flooded with questions, as you might imagine. Our response has been purposefully delayed and carefully considered - we are sure you will understand that we are faced with a unique situation and we wanted to take the opportunity to consider every possible eventuality.

To anybody who doesn’t know, there have been reports of isolated pockets of civil unrest in Birmingham. West Midlands Police have confirmed they will have a very large Police presence on the streets tonight to ensure that they continue to calm the situation. Like everybody in the UK right now, we are thankful for the great job that the Officers are doing at present in such difficult circumstances.

Nevertheless, we are pleased to announce that as things stand, Auto Assembly 2011 will go ahead as planned... and friends...it is going to rock! As the song goes, “Nothing’s gonna stand in our way, not tonight!”

Now, we are keeping a constant eye on the news and on official Police press releases so, if this situation changes we promise we will make an announcement the second we find out. But rest assured, we have no intentions whatsoever of cancelling Europe’s biggest and best Transformers convention unless we are presented with absolutely no alternative. The show, as they say, must go on!

However - it is of the utmost importance that all our convention goers please bear a few things in mind to ensure that we all have a fantastic and most importantly, a safe convention this weekend.

1. Auto Assembly 2011 is still ON
2. Allow extra travelling time to and from the convention
3. Don't go out of the hotel alone. Try to stay in groups for safety.
4. Don't go out of the hotel after dark on your own
5. Keep valuables safe at all times
6. Be vigilant
7. Please look out for each other and be safe.

As we say, if for any reason the situation changes we will inform you as soon as we can, but at present Auto Assembly 2011 is ON!!!! We just need to take extra care in looking after each other this year Transformers fans.

Finally, remember that for those of you arriving in Birmingham one or two days early, you can pick up your passes on Thursday afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 pm which will make your admission to the convention Much easier. Trish and Simon will be in the hotel bar on the second floor to do this but you must contact us in advance to let us know.

Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing you all in a few days.

The Auto Assembly Team

Hi everyone,

Naturally, we know that many of you are still concerned about events in Birmingham but we wanted to reassure you about what is happening and keep you up to date about what we are doing to ensure the convention continues as smoothly as possible.

First, some of you may have heard that coaches to Birmingham have been cancelled. As far as we have heard, Digbeth Coach Station has been temporarily closed but coaches are being diverted to Edgbaston which is approximately 1 miles outside of the city centre so this will just be a short taxi ride to the convention hotel. As there are still a few days to the convention, we believe that there is still time for the station to re-open.

Secondly, while there were still incidents last night, they were significantly reduced following the increased police presence in the city centre. Last night over 500 police officers were in the centre and did a fantastic job containing the violence and disruptions and keeping this to a minimum.

For those of you coming to the convention this weekend, don't forget that we have an active Event Page on Facebook that you can join:- http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=141185125921522 . We are leaving to head off to the convention at noon today but we will still be posting updates throughout the day on Facebook and leading right up to the convention and other attendees will post details of travel share plans and general discussions of incidents that they may find out in relation to the convention. To allay any concerns that you may have regarding part of the content of the convention this year, both David Kaye and David Wise are already in the UK and Gregg Berger is leaving the US today to arrive tomorrow morning so all our guests of honour will be in the UK by tomorrow morning!

Just remember guys... "Nothing's going to stand in our way!". We're very close to setting a NEW European attendance record and with YOUR help, we are determined to make this the BEST convention we have ever held!

People are already looking at making car share or travel share plans, arrangements to travel to hotels together or in groups for those not staying in the convention hotel so we are making every effort to cover ever eventuality this year.

Thanks for relaying this news to us, i couldnt find the statement on their website. I'll try to convince my dad to still take me along to AA 2011, perhaps not for too long though, he was worried about the violence so its good to know that it is being contained. RIP 3 hit-and-run victims

Some idiot ran around with a gun in London (a city that had too much experience with terrorists and weapons) and pointed it at people and the police, so the police shot him.
Now the stupid kids held a demonstration to "protest against the evil police" and started rioting, and then used it as an excuse to go looting and destroying stuff and lives. But it's mostly about the looting and destroying.

Auto Assembly has confirmed it's first two special guest for 2012, voice actors Michel Bell and Townsend Coleman. Bell voiced many popular Generation 1 characters that include Prowl, Swoop, and Bombshell. Coleman was the voice of Transformers Animated's Sentinel Prime as well as the Tick. It looks like 2012 is already shaping up to be another great year for Europe's premiere Transformers Convention.

Posted by El Duque on December 6th, 2011 @ 7:53am CST

Today is the first day of Auto Assembly's Twelve Days Of Christmas campaign that we will be running between now and the 24th of December where we will be making loads of announcements about next year's convention and bringing you plenty of great new videos for our Youtube Channel, and to celebrate the release of the first of these announcements later today, we're proud to be able to bring you a special pre-Christmas sale on tickets for Auto Assembly 2012...

That's right, for the first time ever, we're joining in with the festive spirit started by our friends at Savcon with their Black Friday sale, and offering our full weekend Adult tickets for Auto Assembly 2012 at the specially reduced price of £35 - a massive saving of £10 off the normal price but this is for a limited time only! To take advantage of this great saving of over 20% you must book your tickets online and before midnight on Christmas Eve!

If you've never been to Auto Assembly before, this may well be the perfect incentive for you to make the decision to come and join us! With everything that we have planned for the convention taking place in the Summer of 2012, we know that it's going to be our biggest and best ever convention and with our move to our new venue - the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel - we have the capacity to offer you all much more than ever!

The ticket price will include full access to the convention all weekend including the Saturday night programme, all of the workshops, a copy of our convention magazine, a convention exclusive comic, and a goodie bag packed with free gifts! Not sure if you can afford to make it to the convention? Well, Auto Assembly isn't as expensive as you might think...

Not only are the ticket prices reduced for this limited period, but hotel rates for Auto Assembly 2012 are at the lowest ever! Despite the Hilton being a stunning four-star hotel, the convention rate for bedrooms are just £50 a night for a single and £60 for a twin or double inclusive of breakfast! The hotel has 700 parking spaces in it's own on-site car park for those of you travelling by car and is on the site on Birmingham International rail station and if you book train tickets in advance you can make great savings on your rail journey!

For those of you travelling from outside of the UK, the convention hotel is located adjacent to Birmingham International Airport and if you are travelling to any other airport in the UK, there are fantastic rail links to Birmingham so you are only a short train ride away! As Auto Assembly is taking place in August, we're deep into the school holidays making it easier for families to attend, and for those of you planning a holiday, we're running at the same time as the 2012 Summer Olympics so you can join in the Olympic atmosphere while you're with us!

We already have a great line-up of guests including voice actors Michael Bell and Townsend Coleman, and a range of comic talent including Simon Furman and James Roberts and we'll be announcing at least three more guests (including our third voice actor) during December!

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

We hope to see you all in August...
