Great news fellow UK Transformers fans, we have a NEW Transformers convention starting in the summer of 2016 at the Hilton in Birmingham!
Yes you read that right, with Auto Assembly coming to a close this year many Transformers fans here within the UK and across Europe were fearing that this would be the end of a dedicated Summer #Transformers convention but those fears have been put to rest with the announcement today that TFNation Ltd will be starting a new show called TFNation.
Details are sketchy at the moment but we here at Transformers At The Moon expect that further information will be released in the coming weeks though it's quiet possible that the main announcements will not be made until after Auto Assembly next month out of respect for the convention.
For those keeping track the history of summer UK Transformers conventions goes:
Transforce, Botcon Europe, Transforce, OTFCC Europe, , Auto Assembly and now TFNation.
Plus there is the Autumn show Roll Out Roll Call which takes place in October in Southampton where fans can meet up again.
Stay with us for more and head over to www.tfnation.com and subscribe to their mailing list
So Botcon is taking place this weekend over in the United States whilst the Toyko Toy Show is taking placed in Japan at the same time, so here is a round-up of the news so far:
BOTCON
The additional figures for this years set turned out to be General Optimus Prime, Sergeant Hound, Diaclone Skidz (Burnout), Diaclone Hoist (Lift Ticket), The Waruders 4-Pack with the Custom Class figure being Galva-Leo Convoy a recolour of the Collectors Club exclusive figure based on the original "Lucky Draw" figure of the same name.
Transformers Titan Wars - This will be the toyline following on from the Combiner Wars theme and sees the return of the Headmasters to the main Transformers line. Wireframe outlines were shown, drawn by Emiliano Santalucia (going by his Facebook reaction), which include Blaster (now a Headmaster), Astrotrain (a triple changer headmaster) and Fortress Maximus (a re-tool of Metroplex wtih both Cerebros and Spike much like the original toy / character). More is expect to be announced on this over the weekend.
TOKYO TOY SHOW
Meanwhile in the other big news was being announced.
Masterpiece Ironhide was confirmed and shown. The figure, as you would expect from the Masterpiece line, is very muhc designed on the animated series and will come with a whole host of weapons and accessories. You can expect a Ratchet repaint and, most likely, a black "Diaclone" version later (in our opinion).
MasterpieceOptimus Primal / Gorilla Convoy - Masterpiece is going Beast Wars! To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars, 2016 is going to see the Masterpiece line cover that incarnation of Transformers start off with the Maximal leader Optimus Primal. A mock-up was shown in beast form which you can view below.
Also shown at the event were Unite Warriors Devastator, this is the Japanese release of the Combiner Wars Devastator set with Scrapper, Long Haul, Hook and Mixmaster all being remoulded to include elbow articulation unlike the Western release. The toy will also be released with two heads meaning that you'll be able to re-create the standard US and SDCC looks
Harris Ars has posted a set of comparison images of the various Generations Roadbusters redecos onto his Facebook page which includes the expected Botcon 2015 Attendee Exclusive "G2 General Optimus Prime". In the photographs, which can be seen below, are also the Hasbro Generations Roadbuster, TakaraTomy Legends LG-04 Roadbuster, and E-Hobby Cloud Roadbuster.
Thanks to an auction on Taobao a Botcon troop builder set of repaints of the Transformers Generations Waspinator figure appear to be on the way. The recolours include Buzzsaw and Halloween Horrocon Waspinator as well as two others. You can view a copy of the image below.
Fun Publications have updated Botcon.com with the official brochure for the 2015 Transformers convention. The Primus package is will cost $409 for club members and $509 for non club-members. For those wanting to purchase the Golden Ticket that will cost an additional $400 with the Frank Welker VIP package costing another $200 again on top. So that's $1009 (1109 non-members) if you want to get the boxset, the attendees exclusive figure, access to the Frank Welker panel, early access and the meet and greet with Susan Blu, John Moschitta and Derrick Wyatt.

Have you watched it yet? No well okay the 5th member of Cybetron's Most Wanted was "The Bounty Hunter" who is OilMaster a recolour of the Generations Swerve figure with a difference ... he's now a PRETENDER!!! Yes you read that right, Fun Publication, along with Boss Fight Studios, have produced a new Pretender shell based on a Double Pretender and is an ape shell.

The Roll Out Roll Call Team have issues a new press release stating that dates and bookings for the 2015 show will be announced shortly but hidden amoungst the press release was the announcement that the show is going to be sponsored / supported by both the Official Transformers Collectors Club and the Official G.I.Joe Collectors Club!!
First, we'd like to thank all of you for booking tickets for Auto Assembly 2015 - we're all excited about this year's convention and we think that once again it's going to be our best ever.
Following the opening of bookings at our convention hotel, the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel at the weekend, the demand for accommodation at the Hilton this year has been absolutely phenomenal with some rooms selling out in a matter of minutes and the overall block of rooms for the convention being close to selling out already. Our room bookings team has been working extra hard behind the scenes to try to secure additional rooms for all of you who haven't been able to get accommodation yet in the Hilton and we're incredibly proud to announce that the Hilton has given us some more rooms for our block at the discount rate for the convention weekend!
These extra rooms ARE limited so we'd advise all of you to book as quickly as possible (using the link sent to all of you a few days ago) but we have managed to secure the following:
Thursday 20th and Sunday 23rd August
We now have NEW deluxe singles and deluxe twins on sale. This is a new allocation which we have managed to secure on top of our initial block.
Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd August
We have also secured some additional deluxe singles and deluxe twins for the main convention days - again these are additional rooms we have managed to obtain over and above our initial block.
As these are additional rooms and not part of our original allowance, these have been supplied completely at the Hilton's discretion, for which we cannot thank them enough. It does however mean that these new rooms are very limited in numbers so we encourage you to act quickly to avoid disappointment.
Don't forget, if you have any queries about your booking or the convention itself, please do not hesitate to get in touch and please do not share the hotel booking link with anyone as this is for the exclusive use of Auto Assembly attendees.
Thank you and we're looking forward to seeing you all in August!
The Auto Assembly Team
