All The Cool Stuff have sent out the following announcement regarding the announcement of two new guest for Roll Out Roll Call 2012.
If you do not know what Roll Out Roll Call is then allow me to
explain. The event if a two day convention taking place in March in
Southampton here within the United Kingdom. The show is dedicated to
Action Force, G.I-Joe and Transformers. Next year will be the third
show for this growing event and we encourage everyone who is a fan of
one of these lines to drop by as it's going to be a blast as well as a
great chance to catch up with some fellow fans at the end of the Winter.
Back to the news, here is a copy of the announcement
"Since
announcing Larry Hama's attendance, there's a lot of excitement and
interest in Roll Out Roll Call 2012, the UK Transformers, GI-Joe &
Action Force show. Want to know next 2 guests for
Roll Out Roll Call 2012? Checkout & listen to Episode 25 of "What's
on JOE Mind" for the exclusive new guest announcements: http://whatsonjoemind.podbean.com
There
will be more exclusive announcements over the next few weeks, so stay
tuned or follow the show on Twitter @rolloutrollcall."
Transformers At The Moon will be in attendance at the event, as we are fans of both of these lines, and we are also please to announce that we are also sponsoring the event next year to try to help it grow.
If you come along to Auto Assembly every August you no doubt feel that a year is too long to meet-up with your Transformers friends, sure there is the odd meet-up arrange but most of us can't make them or justify the trips, but with Roll Out Roll Call there is a lot more going on to justify the journey. You will have the social aspect, the dealers, panels, the cosplayer and, of course, the guests. The events are almost 6 months apart giving everyone the best possible chance to make both events and help unite and strength the bonds of the fan communities for both these iconic lines.
I encourage you to keep you eye on the show, the official twitter account, Transformers At The Moon, Blood For The Baron, What's on Joe Mind, Full Metal Hero and The Nerdsphere for more announcements as the event gets closer.
