B.O.T.S. 2012 was a huge success!

B.O.T.S. 2012 has come and gone. The convention was a huge success with 2 rooms filled with dealers, kitbashers, artists, games and, of course, fans!

Activision was present with an exclusive demo of their new game Fall of Cybertron. In addition we also gave away fantastic prices; 5 of our visitors have been chosen by Activision to write the review for the new game ‘Transformers: Fall of Cybertron’ together with Power Unlimited (which means they get to spend lots of time with the game!). We also gave away some cool items at our yearly raffle.

The B.O.T.S. exclusive is totally sold out. So if you managed to get one, keep it safe!

Special thanks go out to Richard Gerlach for providing us with a very cool kitbash, and of course to Martin, who won this unique kitbash during the charity auction! Like the donations given in the main hall, the proceeds of this auction go to the Ronald McDonald childs fund.

Sadly, there was some bad news as well, as Calloway Customs could not reach B.O.T.S. this year. We hope to see them next year.

The organisation of B.O.T.S. 2012 would like to thank Hasbro Nederland, Activision, Power Unlimited, Godert.nu, Rein den Hengst B.V., KMBA, all dealers and supporting crew of B.O.T.S. 2012 for their support and tireless efforts.

Finally, we would like to thank all our visitors for making B.O.T.S. 2012 such a wonderful event. There would be no B.O.T.S. without you!

We hope to see you all again at B.O.T.S. 2013!

(Translation) Beatbug moved to the Netherlands to aid his brother Roadrust. Who is incapable on his own to stop the illegal activities of Decepticon Undertow in the harbor of Rotterdam. Because his human driver always drives into everything his chassis is covered in dents. (Power, Intelligence, Speed, Stamina, Rank, Courage, Firepower, Skill)

(Translation) Roadrust is sent to the Netherlands by Optimus Prime to monitor the Decepticon Undertow's activities. He is always a pessimist. The only thing that can cheer him up is a trip past the Dutch windmills on a nice sunny day. (Power, Intelligence, Speed, Stamina, Rank, Courage, Firepower, Skill)

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I've been to B.O.T.S. too. It was a great experience (it was my first TF convention)! I've bought many Generations/Reveal The Shield/United figures. The Fall of Cybertron demo was epic! Well done and thanks, guys and girls of B.O.T.S.!

Roadrust and Beatbug:

How long before Hasbro uses these newly created characters to repurpose the Bumblebee molds again ???

Sadly, I blew all my money before getting to the exclusives.

MIB Misfire and Triggerhappy are but a sore consolation.

Well it was very kewl & I'm proud the have won 2nd place in the custom contest + aided a good cause by make a special TFP themed Kickback, but I totally forgot 2 make pics of my own booth + new Girlfriend :( and the ones she made were all way out of focus until I put my cam on AF, but then it was 2 late... So if anyone has or knows peepz who made pics I would really want 2 see them, cuz I wanna surprise her soon & need as much as I can get :) thnx in advance!

O btw... talking about pics... I'm seriously disappointed in the number of pics I've seen on 3 different Dutch TF sites + the German one, I alone had more pics of all combined from a mini meeting a few months ago :P LOL

my pictures were grainy and smudged. Oh well, it is a camera that still requires 2 AA batteries.

I got the 2 exclusives + Megatron's rubber ducky.

Had a great time, will be there next year!
