Transformers.com has been updated with a thank you news article from the Transformers team to the attendees of this years BotCon convention."The Transformers team wanted to drop a quick note to thank everyone that went to BotCon 2006 a few weeks ago in Lexington, KY. What a great event! You guys really helped make it one of the best shows we've been to - I couldn't get over the enthusiasm! It's also fun for us to get to talk to you one-on-one at BotCon. It was good to hear that you guys like the CLASSICS as much as we do!! They are just now starting to appear at retail in the US, so hopefully you can find them!
The special events and guests we had also helped make it a great convention. A special thanks to Scott, Blu, Pauline, Richard, Simon, and Peter for joining the event this year. How cool was it for me to be sitting next to Peter Cullen during his panel?!? What an honor! And also to Sony BMG for giving us a sneak peek look at the Transformers: The Movie 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD which hits stores November 7. Nothing like a midnight movie!
The Hasbro Team also wants to send out a special note of thanks to Brian Savage and the rest of the gang that run BotCon. I thought this year's Con was extremely well-run and always had something fun going on. BotCon 2006 was definitely a great springboard to BotCon 2007, which if you haven't heard, will be just down the highway from Hasbro's headquarters in Providence, RI! And for the icing on the cake, it will be held the weekend before the TRANSFORMERS MOVIE hits theaters! So we look forward to celebrating this momentous event with you - the fans that have kept Transformers alive for over 20 years!
Finally, I would also like to thank you for your cooperation with the "no photography" request during the Hasbro panel. This obviously allowed Paramount to give us a taste of what the new Live Action Transformers Movie will look like!! Thanks Paramount!! We hope we can continue to do these sorts of things in the future.
So on behalf of Aaron, Eric, Forest, and the rest of the Transformers team that made the trip to Lexington, I THANK YOU for making BotCon such a huge success and for your continued support!! As my man Stan would say... YOU GOT THE TOUCH!!
Sincerely,
Greg Lombardo
Marketing Director, Transformers"
