			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys<br />
<br />
This is just a rant because I'm curious to see if anybody else as been through it but as I'm getting older I've noticed I have become more selective in what I buy instead of buying everything that has just hit the shelves in stores, I look at things now and I think to my self do I really need this and want it, so instead of buying those things I've gotten things I really care about and things which I have a connection with instead of getting it because it is new and the need to have something to transform. As of now ive been collecting Classics versions or any representation of my favourite character from G1 and it seems more fulfilling than buying loads of DOTM toys or prime ETC, I will admit FOC as really caught my attention and I'm loving the toys from that. for the last year I've noticed it. Any other colector's go through this.<br />
<br />
Thanks Dan/ Scattershot24]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hasbro Prize Giveaway At Auto Assembly 2012<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is now only FOUR DAYS away but that doesn't mean we still don't have things to announce! We've kept a few things back until the last minute as we wanted to make sure we still had things to tell you right until you were all getting ready to leave for Birmingham and this is one that certainly put a smile on our faces here at Auto Assembly headquarters today...<br />
 <br />
We're please to announce that Hasbro UK are once again supporting the convention and our charity fundraising efforts and have very generously donated a great selection of Transformers Prime toys that we will be giving away in our charity raffle this year. After some great deluxe toys? No problem! How about a few of the Cyberverse Commander class figures? They've sent us some of those as well. They've even donated some of the new Weaponiser figures so some of our lucky raffle prize winners will be going home with some great prizes this year!<br />
 <br />
Tickets for our charity raffle will be on sale all weekend for just 20p each and draws will be taking place all weekend so if you don't win anything first time around keep your tickets safe. Remember the more tickets you buy, not only do you have more chances to win in each draw but the more you help us raise for three worthy charities. And with these great prizes and more besides including signed photos of various Transformers voice actors (did someone say Peter Cullen and Frank Welker?), it's going to be a fantastic charity raffle!<br />
 <br />
If you haven’t already booked up for the convention or ordered a Non-Attendee Pack which gets you our stunning goodie bag with autographs from our guests, pre-registrations close in just TWO DAYS. After that time, you’ll still be able to come along to the convention and pay on the day but Non-Attendee Packs will no longer be available. Attendees will not get a personalised pass and will not be entered into any of our free prize draws (which are also open to Non-Attendees) so pre-registration is well worth it.<br />
 <br />
So what are you waiting for? There’s no better time to book your tickets while you can to be a part of Europe’s largest Transformers convention!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is Europe's largest EVER Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel. To book your tickets or find out more including details of all the dealers present and a full schedule for the weekend, visit the website at <a href="http://www.autoassembly.org.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.autoassembly.org.uk</a><br />
 <br />
If you can't make it to the convention this year don't forget that tickets are now on sale for Auto Assembly 2013 which is set to be another stunning weekend!<br />
 <br />
Hope to see you on 3rd - 5th August.<br />

			<title><![CDATA[More Guests Announced For Auto Assembly 2012]]></title>
			<link>http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/discussion/thread-2570.html</link>

			<description><![CDATA[More Guests Announced For Auto Assembly 2012<br />
 <br />
We're just SIX DAYS away from Auto Assembly 2012, Europe's largest Transformers convention but we still haven't finished with our announcements for this year's event! We have a fantastic guest line-up with year with some great comic guests and - for the first time ever - three voice actors, but we thought that you deserved more...<br />
 <br />
We're now proud to bring you two final guests to the line-up and we hope that you will make them both feel welcome as they make their Auto Assembly debut. First up is our own in-house artist Ed Pirrie who is making Auto Assembly history as our first ever fan artist guest.<br />
 <br />
In his own words, Ed Pirrie spends most of his days either operating dangerous machinery or drawing it hitting each other. He has been accused of being a "prominent fan-artist" online (pffft!), providing work for several Transmasters UK publications and has a number of popular Mosaics under his belt. He came to the attention of Auto Assembly after winning their art competitions two years straight, and after that he was tapped to produce full-length strips for the convention magazine The Cybertronian Times, as well as working on many other illustrative projects for the convention including their exclusive postcards, lithographs and being responsible for the presentation and look and feel of the event since 2011.<br />
 <br />
Despite this, he considers having his artwork stolen and used without his permission his highest sign of success to date. He also has a soft-spot for mutants, radioactive monsters, and biotechnological humanoid weapons. Probably best ignored.<br />
 <br />
Joining Ed is Sam Palmer. Sam is a colourist from Hertfordshire. With a lifetime love of comics, Sam coloured his first ever piece of comic art during his Animation degree in 2008 and was instantly hooked. More hard work and practice eventually lead to fan work such as Transformers: The Lost Seasons and Transformers Mosaics, as well as various other small press work, which helped him try out different techniques and styles to improve and start to hone his craft.<br />
 <br />
A regular on the UK convention circuit and rarely seen without his trusty portfolio in hand, Sam is always eager to get help, advice and feedback on his work from anyone and everyone who will look at it. This drive and passion lead to a portfolio review with Titan Magazines at London Super Comic-Con in February 2012, from which he was sent 4 pages of try-out linework to colour, and less than 3 months later, He was given his first professional mainstream job, working on an issue of Titan's Transformers Prime Magazine, which is due out in September. Sam never rests on his laurels, He's worked his butt off to get that first mainstream job, and will keep working hard to send his career on to bigger and better things.<br />
 <br />
Both of them will be in our guest area all weekend meeting fans and sketching. They'll be there alongside all of our other guests including the entire creative team behind Regeneration One (Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, Stephen Baskerville, John-Paul Bove, and Jason Cardy), James Roberts, Nick Roche, Livio Ramondelli, and our three voice actors - Michael Bell (G1 Prowl, Swoop, Sidewipe and more), Paul Eiding (G1 Perceptor) and Townsend Coleman (TFA Sentinel Prime). For a recap on our guests of honour, you can watch our latest videos here:-<br />

If you haven’t already booked up for the convention or ordered a Non-Attendee Pack which gets you our stunning goodie bag with autographs from our guests, pre-registrations close in just FOUR DAYS. After that time, you’ll still be able to come along to the convention and pay on the day but Non-Attendee Packs will no longer be available. Attendees will not get a personalised pass and will not be entered into any of our free prize draws (which are also open to Non-Attendees) so pre-registration is well worth it.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[More Guests Announced For Auto Assembly 2012<br />
 <br />
We're just SIX DAYS away from Auto Assembly 2012, Europe's largest Transformers convention but we still haven't finished with our announcements for this year's event! We have a fantastic guest line-up with year with some great comic guests and - for the first time ever - three voice actors, but we thought that you deserved more...<br />
 <br />
We're now proud to bring you two final guests to the line-up and we hope that you will make them both feel welcome as they make their Auto Assembly debut. First up is our own in-house artist Ed Pirrie who is making Auto Assembly history as our first ever fan artist guest.<br />
 <br />
In his own words, Ed Pirrie spends most of his days either operating dangerous machinery or drawing it hitting each other. He has been accused of being a "prominent fan-artist" online (pffft!), providing work for several Transmasters UK publications and has a number of popular Mosaics under his belt. He came to the attention of Auto Assembly after winning their art competitions two years straight, and after that he was tapped to produce full-length strips for the convention magazine The Cybertronian Times, as well as working on many other illustrative projects for the convention including their exclusive postcards, lithographs and being responsible for the presentation and look and feel of the event since 2011.<br />
 <br />
Despite this, he considers having his artwork stolen and used without his permission his highest sign of success to date. He also has a soft-spot for mutants, radioactive monsters, and biotechnological humanoid weapons. Probably best ignored.<br />
 <br />
Joining Ed is Sam Palmer. Sam is a colourist from Hertfordshire. With a lifetime love of comics, Sam coloured his first ever piece of comic art during his Animation degree in 2008 and was instantly hooked. More hard work and practice eventually lead to fan work such as Transformers: The Lost Seasons and Transformers Mosaics, as well as various other small press work, which helped him try out different techniques and styles to improve and start to hone his craft.<br />
 <br />
A regular on the UK convention circuit and rarely seen without his trusty portfolio in hand, Sam is always eager to get help, advice and feedback on his work from anyone and everyone who will look at it. This drive and passion lead to a portfolio review with Titan Magazines at London Super Comic-Con in February 2012, from which he was sent 4 pages of try-out linework to colour, and less than 3 months later, He was given his first professional mainstream job, working on an issue of Titan's Transformers Prime Magazine, which is due out in September. Sam never rests on his laurels, He's worked his butt off to get that first mainstream job, and will keep working hard to send his career on to bigger and better things.<br />
 <br />
Both of them will be in our guest area all weekend meeting fans and sketching. They'll be there alongside all of our other guests including the entire creative team behind Regeneration One (Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, Stephen Baskerville, John-Paul Bove, and Jason Cardy), James Roberts, Nick Roche, Livio Ramondelli, and our three voice actors - Michael Bell (G1 Prowl, Swoop, Sidewipe and more), Paul Eiding (G1 Perceptor) and Townsend Coleman (TFA Sentinel Prime). For a recap on our guests of honour, you can watch our latest videos here:-<br />

 <br />
If you haven’t already booked up for the convention or ordered a Non-Attendee Pack which gets you our stunning goodie bag with autographs from our guests, pre-registrations close in just FOUR DAYS. After that time, you’ll still be able to come along to the convention and pay on the day but Non-Attendee Packs will no longer be available. Attendees will not get a personalised pass and will not be entered into any of our free prize draws (which are also open to Non-Attendees) so pre-registration is well worth it.<br />
 <br />
So what are you waiting for? There’s no better time to book your tickets while you can to be a part of Europe’s largest Transformers convention!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is Europe's largest EVER Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

Hope to see you on 3rd - 5th August.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Livio Ramondelli Art Workshop At Auto Assembly 2012!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly has been known for running various free creative workshops at the convention over the years, including a number of art and writing workshops which have been run by professional Transformers comic artists and colourists including Lee Bradley, Kat Nicholson, Kris Carter, Liam Shalloo, Nick Roche and Simon Furman. Now, we are proud to add Autocracy - and the newly announced Monstrosity artist Livio Ramondelli to that list...<br />
 <br />
Livio Ramondelli will be hosting a special workshop where he will take attendees through the process he goes through when he creates the stunning artwork that has adorned countless IDW comic covers and the pages of Autocracy and Robots In Disguise. You'll get to see how his art goes from the original pencil sketch to a fully coloured image and Livio will be able to answer any questions you may have about his work during the session.<br />
 <br />
As with all our workshops, entry is included as part of the ticket price to the convention so if you want to be a part of this unique workshop, you won't want to miss out on being at the convention!<br />
 <br />
So if you haven't already pre-registered for Auto Assembly 2012 there's still time before the ticket deadline of 1st August 2012 and we still have plenty of announcements to make about the convention. After 1st August, the only way you can attend the convention is to buy your tickets on the day itself but you won't get a personalised pass or be entered into any of our pre-convention prize draws!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Livio Ramondelli Art Workshop At Auto Assembly 2012!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly has been known for running various free creative workshops at the convention over the years, including a number of art and writing workshops which have been run by professional Transformers comic artists and colourists including Lee Bradley, Kat Nicholson, Kris Carter, Liam Shalloo, Nick Roche and Simon Furman. Now, we are proud to add Autocracy - and the newly announced Monstrosity artist Livio Ramondelli to that list...<br />
 <br />
Livio Ramondelli will be hosting a special workshop where he will take attendees through the process he goes through when he creates the stunning artwork that has adorned countless IDW comic covers and the pages of Autocracy and Robots In Disguise. You'll get to see how his art goes from the original pencil sketch to a fully coloured image and Livio will be able to answer any questions you may have about his work during the session.<br />
 <br />
As with all our workshops, entry is included as part of the ticket price to the convention so if you want to be a part of this unique workshop, you won't want to miss out on being at the convention!<br />
 <br />
So if you haven't already pre-registered for Auto Assembly 2012 there's still time before the ticket deadline of 1st August 2012 and we still have plenty of announcements to make about the convention. After 1st August, the only way you can attend the convention is to buy your tickets on the day itself but you won't get a personalised pass or be entered into any of our pre-convention prize draws!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is Europe's largest EVER Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel. To book your tickets or find out more including details of all the dealers present and information on all our other guests including voice actors Paul Eiding, Michael Bell and Townsend Coleman, visit the website at <a href="http://www.autoassembly.org.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.autoassembly.org.uk</a><br />
 <br />
If you can't make it to the convention this year don't forget that we still have our Non-Attendee Packs available, and tickets are now on sale for Auto Assembly 2013!<br />
 <br />
Hope to see you on 3rd - 5th August.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Auto Assembly 2012 Fans Vs Guests Quiz<br />
 <br />
It’s time to get your thinking caps on!!! Last year at Auto Assembly 2011 we introduced the first ever Transformers Eggheads to tremendous success. We are happy to announce that this year the premier Transformers game show will return and we are looking for contestants. A team of five lucky contestants will have the chance to pit their wits against a formidable team of Transformers creators including Nick Roche, James Roberts and Livio Ramondelli!<br />
 <br />
If you think you have what it takes then it couldn’t be simpler to enter. You must be at Auto Assembly 2012 on the afternoon of Sunday 5th August 2012 and simply answer the following question. Five people with the correct answer will be randomly drawn out of a hat to battle the evil forces of the creator-cons.<br />
 <br />
Question: Livio Ramondelli’s first official piece of work published by IDW was the front over to which collection?<br />
 <br />
Please E-mail your answers with your full name and Auto Assembly 2012 ticket number to moonbase2cast@gmail.com. The closing date for entries will be Thursday 26th July 2012.<br />
 <br />
Competition Round-Up<br />
 <br />
The annual Fans Vs Guests Quiz isn't the only competition taking place this year at Auto Assembly 2012 and there's something going on this year for everyone and for attendees of all ages...<br />
 <br />
For the creative types out there, we have our Cosplay Competition which will take place on the Saturday evening (sponsored by Big D's Toy Chest) and our Kitbash / Customs Competition (sponsored by Calloways Customs) so we want to see the best that your imagination can come up with!<br />
 <br />
For video games enthusiasts, we will be running tournaments all weekend on the classic Beast Wars: Transmetals game on the Playstation and if you really think you're a hot games player, dare you take up the Mystery Of Convoy challenge on the Famicom? For something a little more relaxed, why not take on other attendees head-to-head in Transformers Connect 4?<br />
 <br />
That's not forgetting our free prize draws... for those of you who pre-register for the convention, we will be randomly inserting lucky tickets to win prizes including limited edition t-shirts from Transformers Universe developer Jagex and other mystery items! The big prize draw will come on Sunday afternoon though and this will only be open to pre-registrants who have a) booked a weekend ticket and who are b) present at the closing <br />
ceremony on Sunday afternoon. The prize? Two weekend tickets to Auto Assembly 2013 PLUS three nights hotel accommodation in the Hilton!<br />
 <br />

			<description><![CDATA[Jagex To Support Auto Assembly 2012<br />
 <br />
Online MMO games developer Jagex are busy working frantically on their upcoming Transformers Universe MMO. Back in 2011, Jagex supported Auto Assembly by providing us with a great selection of freebies to give away to our attendees, some fantastic t-shirts which we gave away as competition prizes, and donated what is still our highest fundraising auction items ever.<br />
 <br />
We're proud to announce that Jagex will be supporting  Auto Assembly again this year and, they’ll be bringing boxes of stuff exclusive to attendees of Auto Assembly 2012. They will be given away as prizes in various competitions during the convention and we will also be giving away some in a pre-registrant prize draw. To enter this, all you need to do is book your tickets for the convention IN ADVANCE and you'll be entered (as long as you don't have a Partner or Under 6 pass!).<br />
 <br />
Then just check your welcome pack on the day and if you have a lucky ticket in there, you've won!<br />
 <br />
Secondly Jagex will be donating something rather special for our charity auction... They will be providing us with a very special print of artwork from the Transformers Universe game signed by the development team! At Auto Assembly 2011, a similar print that was signed by SIXTY members of the team raised an astonishing £350 and we hope that this one will do the same and we want to thank Paul Mayer and Eddy Dew from Jagex for arranging this.<br />
 <br />
Finally, we will be giving away Transformers Universe art cards to our attendees as part of the goodie bags this year. Featuring one of two different designs, these have great CGI landscapes on them and are great collectibles from the game.<br />
 <br />
You can find out more about the game at <a href="http://www.transformersuniverse.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.transformersuniverse.com</a> and about Jagex's other online MMOs including the highly-acclaimed RuneScape at their website at <a href="http://www.runescape.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.runescape.com</a><br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is Europe's largest Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

Back in 2011, Jagex supported Auto Assembly by providing us with a great selection of freebies to give away to our attendees, some fantastic t-shirts which we gave away as competition prizes, and donated what is still our highest fundraising auction items ever.<br />
 <br />
We're proud to announce that Jagex will be supporting  Auto Assembly again this year and, they’ll be bringing boxes of stuff exclusive to attendees of Auto Assembly 2012. They will be given away as prizes in various competitions during the convention and we will also be giving away some in a pre-registrant prize draw. To enter this, all you need to do is book your tickets for the convention IN ADVANCE and you'll be entered (as long as you don't have a Partner or Under 6 pass!).<br />
 <br />
Then just check your welcome pack on the day and if you have a lucky ticket in there, you've won!<br />
 <br />
Secondly Jagex will be donating something rather special for our charity auction... They will be providing us with a very special print of artwork from the Transformers Universe game signed by the development team! At Auto Assembly 2011, a similar print that was signed by SIXTY members of the team raised an astonishing £350 and we hope that this one will do the same and we want to thank Paul Mayer and Eddy Dew from Jagex for arranging this.<br />
 <br />
Finally, we will be giving away Transformers Universe art cards to our attendees as part of the goodie bags this year. Featuring one of two different designs, these have great CGI landscapes on them and are great collectibles from the game.<br />
 <br />
You can find out more about the game at <a href="http://www.transformersuniverse.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.transformersuniverse.com</a> and about Jagex's other online MMOs including the highly-acclaimed RuneScape at their website at <a href="http://www.runescape.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.runescape.com</a><br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is Europe's largest Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

			<description><![CDATA[Auto Assembly 2012 Sets New European Attendance Record!<br />
 <br />
With over four weeks to go Auto Assembly 2012 is set to be a huge success once again. Since 2005 we have proudly held the attendance record for a European Transformers convention and today we have broken our previous record that we set in 2010! This sets a new landmark for us at the convention as we have only previously set new records or attendance figure milestones at the convention itself.<br />
 <br />
Bookings are still coming in at a fantastic rate as we are now in our traditional rush period and we have still yet to announce some of the late surprises that we have in store for you. We have some great competitions lined up, another guest to announce, some great announcements for those of you who have been with us for several years, an update on this year's convention exclusive litho and our other exclusives, more artwork from our comic, and much more besides!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 IS Europe's largest EVER Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

			<description><![CDATA[Auto Assembly 2012 Convention Comic Preview - Day 1<br />
 <br />
As you know, we are producing a convention exclusive comic for Auto Assembly 2012 that will be included in all of the goodie bags that we will be giving away at the event. These bags will be packed with free gifts to make sure that no-one leaves the convention empty-handed, whether you come along with much spending money or not.<br />
 <br />
The comic, Iacon Independent, will feature work from a range of talented writers and artists and will feature 22 pages of short stories and single page strips spanning G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines and Transformers: Animated and will have something for everyone and will feature a stunning cover illustrated by Marvel G1 artist Jeff Anderson.<br />
 <br />
We can now reveal the first teaser image from the comic taken from the story “Youth of Experience”. Set during "The War Within", it sees Hot Rod and Kup team up for the first time. It is written by Peter Williams featuring art by Rui Onishi, colours by Kal Kyle and letters by Andy Turnbull.<br />
 <br />
More preview art to follow tomorrow...<br />
 <br />
We have very limited advertising space available in the comic for any interested companies. The comic will have a print run of 1,000 copies and will be distributed to fans attending the convention from all over the world. If you are interested in promoting your business, website, event or anything else, please get in touch!<br />
 <br />
Auto Assembly 2012 is Europe's largest Transformers convention and is taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

			<description><![CDATA[I know it's been a while since I've shown myself around here, things have been busy for me, but in a very good way. New job, much better pay <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> I'm now an IT Technical Support Manager for a commercial Dry Cleaning/Laundry in NW Ohio and I'm loving it!<br />
<br />
It so happens that I will be in London between June 4th and June 19th visiting my family and friends and thought what better way to do it than to have a meet up? I know that it's the Queen's jubilee as well, so this might not work out. Would you lot be up for a meet and what dates work well? I haven't got any firm plans right now, so anytime would be good for me (though weekends always seem to work best).<br />
<br />
Anyone interested?]]></description>
