For Transformers fans in the Nordic countries, we bring to you big news from Retcon's Facebook Page, announcing that IDW writer and artist Nick Roche will be attending Retcon! Check out the full introduction below.

We are extremely proud and very happy to be able to announce that RetCon's first guest of honour will be none other than the one and only Nick Roche!

Having been a part of the IDW universe since the early years and written, co-written and illustrated such smash hits as Last Stand of the Wreckers and Sins of the Wreckers, he surely needs no further presentation.

Nick will be on site for RetCon both for the friday pre-hang-out and all of the main convention day.

I really liked the idea of redesigning the Dinobots as if they were Beast Wars characters; it worked so well for Spotlight: Shockwave. Kinda wish they'd kept these and rampaged around Jurassic Park :lol:

Never liked that teeth mouthplate thing Grimlock had going though. It just looked off and a lot of the time ended up confusing me.

True Beast Dinosaur Modes just made sense in those Spotlights and Hearts of Steel. I wish they had stayed too.
