One other piece of movie-related news from Hascon deals with the second induction for the Transformers Hall of Fame, introduced by Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner - and featuring the producer of the Michael Bay directed movies from Paramount: Lorenzo di Bonaventura!

Starting with Transformers (2007), to Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and then the new trilogy with Age of Extinction, The Last Knight and the next movie (plus of course the Transformers Universe: Bumblebee solo spin-off), di Bonaventura has been behind the scenes, helping shape what we have today in the live action universe. Check out the ceremony below, and head back here for the Susan Blu one that preceded it!

We know that many Seibertronians had considered attending Hascon, but were not able to actually make it in person, so Seibertron.com has strived to bring you an idea of what the event looked like in first person, with a walkthrough of the floors and the brand experiences laid out by Hasbro - featuring Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, My Little Pony, Star Wars, Disney Princess, Marvel, Nerf, and more (but missing GI Joe, Dropmix and Hascade, due to time constraints!) - in a 20 minute clip! Follow our own Seibertron as he takes a look at all the areas, and enjoy the official images provided by Hasbro themselves collected in our gallery below, featuring the likes of James Gunn, Mark Wahlberg, Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Maddie Ziegler, Isabella Moner, Brandin Cook, and more!

The other experience you may not have taken part in is the VIP event that took place on the Saturday evening of Hascon, the one that included the Hall of Fame inductions for Susan Blu and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the Transformers: The Last Knight panel with Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, di Bonaventura, Frank Welker and Peter Cullen, the Power of the Primes reveals of the Terrorcons and more with Takara Tomy and Hasbro designers - such as Shogo Hasui, Takashi Kunihiro, Hideaki Yoke, plus John Warden, and others - and the Toy and Character Hall of Fame reveals!

The Stan Bush concert at the end of the night is not included in this recording, but you can join Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner and the host for the evening, plus site owner Seibertron in the full VIP evening events in the video below!

Bossbot extraordinaire, Seibertron, posted his walkthrough of the Transformers Area walk through at Hascon, in it there's vintage and modern toys on display, a huge Optimus Prime statue from his Transformers: Prime appearance, showings of the cartoons and movies all weekend for everybody to watch, the vehicles from the live action films, autograph signings from the various voice actors and stars, Rescue Bots play area, The epic The Last Knight diorama, and much, much more. It definitely is worth checking out to see the fantastic sights below!

We'll be showcasing more videos throughout the week from HasCon as they become available, stay tuned!

if Frank Welker can finally start attending convenionts(which he avoided for many years), hopefully Corey Burton can do the same someday.

Mods, please feel free to edit, censor or delete my comment if it's too much, but..."Apeface in a line where it makes sense" oh, how about a line where THE MAIN FUCKING GIMMICK IS HEADMASTERS AND THE VOYAGERS WHERE SPECIFICALLY TRIPLE CHANGING HEADMASTERS

There are two kinds of people in this thread right now :-P

(I am also excited for Deathsaurus! And much as I'm frustrated that we didn't see Apeface and Snapdragon in TR, I'm just glad that we've basically got confirmation they're in the pipeline. I mean, that statement seems pretty wink-wink-nudge-nudge-hint-hint to me, and considering they've got Generations mapped out for the next four years at least... the wait may be unbearable, but it's less unbearable than not knowing if they're ever gonna happen at all

Oh, I know, I know and trust me, the other announcements do make me happy(even if they didn't mention Seacons at all, c´mon, with Rippersnapper, Overbite shouldn't be far), but it IS enraging that they said that about the Horrorcons. :BANG_HEAD:

To those of you who went, how would you rate the Transformers part of Hascon? Better or worse than BotCon used to be?

Anybody hitting HTS for the exclusives on September 20th? Looks like I'm out of luck on the GI Joe Cobra missile command but everything else will be there.

Exclusives are up, although it looks like some haven't come in stock yet or won't come in stock period

Comment by boyatlarge Sep 20, 2017

Both items just added stock (I have been rechecking every hour since last night) and I successfully placed my order for both items just now. Better hurry before they disappear.

We would like to pass the news along to you today that the HASCON exclusive figures Arcee with Leinad and Ultra Magnus along with Power Bank Optimus Prime are now available for order! These figures are available through HasbroToyshop, and are priced at $24.99 and $49.99, respectively. Both are currently in stock, though unlikely to stay that way for too long, so go and get your orders placed now!

I got mine as well.
The primitive Prime was also listed as available.

Thanks so much. I got my Arcee ordered. No shipping fee for an exclusive? I couldn't believe that. My total was $26.55 shipped out the door. I look forward to getting her. :-D

Comment by MECHdirge Sep 20, 2017

I was very surprised I could order Titans Arcee. I just expected this was another convention exclusive I would have no chance at adding to my collection. Thanks for the heads up!

It looks like the Cobra missile command either never came in stock or sold out quick.

Me too. I just ordered my two. One to display with my other Transformers figures and one to keep in the box.

Must be luck as I was charged shipping. Mine came out to about $35
