I have uploaded the photographs that we took whilst at Auto Assembly 2011 here in the UK. The convention took place last week end in Birmingham and was another outstanding success.
We'd once again like to thank everyone who attended the event from the guests, the dealers, the volunteers, the committee, the hotel staff and, of course, Simon and Trish for all their work throughout the year

First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who attended Auto Assembly in one capacity or another. Everyone worked their butts off from the committee, the volunteers, the dealers and their helpers to try to make the show as smooth as possible despite the problems that were faced. The guests were once again warm and welcoming and once again went out of their way to entertain everyone. Finally everyone who attended the convention needs to be thanked. There were a lot of first-timers this year and the general consensus was overwhelmingly positive.
During Auto Assembly it was announced that David Kaye is voicing a role in Transformers Prime, but it was also hinted, during his promo video, that David Sobolov, voice of Beast Wars Depth Charge, may also have a role in the current Transformers show.

Simon Plumbe has sent out another press release regarding Auto Assembly 2011 and the possible effects that the recent disturbances in Birmingham may have on transport to and from the hotel
Birmingham Update Press Release
Naturally, we know that many of you are still concerned about events in Birmingham but we wanted to reassure you about what is happening and keep you up to date about what we are doing to ensure the convention continues as smoothly as possible.
First, some of you may have heard that coaches to Birmingham have been cancelled. As far as we have heard, Digbeth Coach Station has been temporarily closed but coaches are being diverted to Edgbaston which is approximately 1 miles outside of the city centre so this will just be a short taxi ride to the convention hotel. As there are still a few days to the convention, we believe that there is still time for the station to re-open.
Secondly, while there were still incidents last night, they were significantly reduced following the increased police presence in the city centre. Last night over 500 police officers were in the centre and did a fantastic job containing the violence and disruptions and keeping this to a minimum.
For those of you coming to the convention this weekend, don't forget that we have an active Event Page on Facebook that you can join:- http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=141185125921522 . We are leaving to head off to the convention at noon today but we will still be posting updates throughout the day on Facebook and leading right up to the convention and other attendees will post details of travel share plans and general discussions of incidents that they may find out in relation to the convention. To allay any concerns that you may have regarding part of the content of the convention this year, both David Kaye and David Wise are already in the UK and Gregg Berger is leaving the US today to arrive tomorrow morning so all our guests of honour will be in the UK by tomorrow morning!
Just remember guys... "Nothing's going to stand in our way!". We're very close to setting a NEW European attendance record and with YOUR help, we are determined to make this the BEST convention we have ever held!
People are already looking at making car share or travel share plans, arrangements to travel to hotels together or in groups for those not staying in the convention hotel so we are making every effort to cover ever eventuality this year.

Auto Assembly has sent out the following annoucement
Hi everyone,
In
light of the recent, saddening news coming from various cities around
the UK, the Auto Assembly Committee has been flooded with questions, as
you might imagine. Our response has been purposefully delayed and
carefully considered - we are sure you will understand that we are faced
with a unique situation and we wanted to take the opportunity to
consider every possible eventuality.
To anybody who doesn’t
know, there have been reports of isolated pockets of civil unrest in
Birmingham. West Midlands Police have confirmed they will have a very
large Police presence on the streets tonight to ensure that they
continue to calm the situation. Like everybody in the UK right now, we
are thankful for the great job that the Officers are doing at present in
such difficult circumstances.
Nevertheless, we are pleased to
announce that as things stand, Auto Assembly 2011 will go ahead as
planned... and friends...it is going to rock! As the song goes,
“Nothing’s gonna stand in our way, not tonight!”
Now, we are
keeping a constant eye on the news and on official Police press releases
so, if this situation changes we promise we will make an announcement
the second we find out. But rest assured, we have no intentions
whatsoever of cancelling Europe’s biggest and best Transformers
convention unless we are presented with absolutely no alternative. The
show, as they say, must go on!
However - it is of the utmost
importance that all our convention goers please bear a few things in
mind to ensure that we all have a fantastic and most importantly, a safe
convention this weekend.
1. Auto Assembly 2011 is still ON
2. Allow extra travelling time to and from the convention
3. Don't go out of the hotel alone. Try to stay in groups for safety.
4. Don't go out of the hotel after dark on your own
5. Keep valuables safe at all times
6. Be vigilant
7. Please look out for each other and be safe.
As
we say, if for any reason the situation changes we will inform you as
soon as we can, but at present Auto Assembly 2011 is ON!!!! We just
need to take extra care in looking after each other this year
Transformers fans.
Finally, remember that for those of you
arriving in Birmingham one or two days early, you can pick up your
passes on Thursday afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 pm which will make
your admission to the convention Much easier. Trish and Simon will be in
the hotel bar on the second floor to do this but you must contact us in
advance to let us know.
Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing you all in a few days.

Auto Assembly sent out the following press release yesterday
Transformers Actors Rally behind Auto Assembly 2011!
With less than a week to go before the Transformers event of the year, it’s
decision time - are you going to join us in giving a thunderous farewell to
the Holiday Inn, in it’s final year as AA central?
We’ve done all we can to persuade you – we’ve told you about our room full
of Transformers dealers, our guest panels, exclusive giveaways, our unveiling of
new and never before seen video game information from Jagex... we’ve even told
you that Hasbro will be in attendance this year to add a final shine to what is
certainly going to be the biggest and most phenomenal event we have ever
hosted.
But still, with just four days until pre-registration closes, some of you
are undecided... so how about, rather than taking our word you listen to what
some of our friends have got to say about us... and my, do we have friends in
high places!
And not to be outdone, with the appliance of science we are able to bring
you this special presentation put together for you all by Mr Paul Eiding
himself - the voice of Generation 1 Perceptor.
Friends, your heroes have spoken! Come to Auto Assembly 2011! And let’s
break that European attendance record one more time! If you can't make it this
year, don't forget you can book NOW for Auto Assembly 2012 and beat the
rush!

Transformers Universe
MMO Panel At Auto Assembly 2011!
You may have thought
that you had seen all of our major announcements regarding Auto Assembly 2011,
but we said we had a few more special announcements that we had held back - and
here's one of the biggest that we have been wanting to tell you all about for
quite some time...
The upcoming

thousands of other players across the globe!
The game is being

and for a Q&A Session on the Saturday afternoon which promises to be one of
the hits of the convention, where they will be revealing some new information
about the game EXCLUSIVELY to Auto Assembly attendees!
That's not all though,
we can also now reveal that we are being joined by our SIXTEENTH guest! A late
addition to our already stunning line-up is Marvel G1 artist and inker Stephen
Baskerville who will be making his Auto Assembly debut this year. He will be
taking to the stage as part of our revised comic panel on Saturday afternoon
joining Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman to talk about Transformers #81...
Auto Assembly 2011 is

Celebrate Target 2006 At Auto Assembly 2011
Marvel
UK were renowned for producing some of the best Transformers comics
ever written, thanks to the talents of Simon Furman. One of the most
notable stories he produced during the comic's incredible 332 issue run
was "Target 2006" which was set immediately after Transformers: The
Movie and Auto Assembly 2011 is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this
landmark comic...
As you know, the convention is running from
12th - 14th August 2011 and usually the Friday night is an informal
get-together to get everyone in the relaxed mood for the main
convention, with videos and one or two other fun activities. However,
this year we are having our first ever Friday night guest panel! Taking
to the stage will be Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior to talk about
their work on Target 2006 in a special discussion hosted by IDW
artist/writer Nick Roche who worked on the covers for the IDW re-prints
of these monumental books!
It will take place on the Friday
evening of the convention but, as always, the Friday evening programme
is EXCLUSIVELY for those fans who have purchased a weekend pass for the
convention! This is going to be a fascinating insight into a remarkable
comic book and is something you won't want to miss!
Finally, we
have just released our latest news update video to our official Youtube
Channel. It has details and updates on all of competitions taking place
over the weekend, information on the charities that we are raising money
for this year and a bit of information about Auto Assembly 2012 as
well. Check out the video here:-

Auto Assembly 2011 Charity Auction Update
Every year Auto
Assembly has a charity auction and raffle to raise money for a number of
good causes and Auto Assembly 2011 is no exception. This time, it is
raising money for three different charities and hopes to beat last
year's record-breaking £2,200 and we are convinced that our great
charity auction will help us to do just that...
We will be
holding two charity auctions over the course of the weekend, each one
hosted by our guest auctioneers - David Kaye and Gregg Berger - and
feature some fantastic items. These include signed photos of Peter
Cullen, Frank Welker, Shia La Boeuf, Rosie Huntington Whitely, Corey
Burton and original Comic artwork from artists such as Casey Coller and
IDW artist-of-the-moment, Andrew Griffith!
You can download a full list from the convention website right now!
We
have also just uploaded our latest video to youtube which has an update
on some of this year's competitions, our workshops, and a recap on some
of the guests attending the convention this year as well as two rather
special prize draws for those of you who have pre-booked for the
convention...
You can find this latest video on our youtube channel here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV2_TMEtKaM
Don't
forget that bookings for the convention close in just 14 days and after
then you'll have to come along and pay on the door!

Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August

Another news story, another convention press release. Yes following on from SDCC its time to bring you the latest Press Release from Auto Assembly.
Auto Assembly 2011 Bookings Close In 3 Weeks
If you haven't already pre-registered, it's time to hurry up! Pre-registration for Auto Assembly 2011 closes in just THREE WEEKS at 10:00 pm GMT on Wednesday 10th August 2011!
The convention is fast approaching and if you want to get a personalised name badge and have some of the better, more limited free gifts in your goodie bag, as well as earlier admission to the convention, then you need to book your tickets online as soon as possible. We will have tickets available on the day for one day and full weekend passes, but as you will need to complete registration forms when you arrive, these will take longer for you to get into the convention.
Passes won't be sent out in advance of the convention this year. Instead we will be making them available for all of you to pick up at the convention in a series of designated pick up times starting from noon on Friday and continuing on Saturday and Sunday allowing for those of you who can only make in on those days and for single day attendees so even if you can't book until a few days before, you will still have a pass waiting for you to collect along with your bag of free gifts!

The Auto Assembly team have sent out the following press release
Auto Assembly 2011 Booking
Deadlines!
Auto Assembly 2011 is just 32 days away
and as the excitement grows many of you are making last minute preparations for your trip to Birmingham for the
convention...
However, as always, a large number of you
still haven't bought tickets for the event yet. As seems to be the trend with Auto Assembly over the last few
years, 25%-30% of the tickets sold for
the convention are done in the last 4-6 weeks and this year is no
exception!
Many people have emailed us asking what
the closing date is for bookings this year. As many of you know, we are not sending out passes this year. Instead, we
are running a pass pick-up system at the
convention itself for all attendees, staggered to ensure that everyone
gets their passes and goodie bags
quickly and effectively and can get into the convention when it opens properly as fast as possible. All you will
need to do is bring a printout of your
booking confirmation email with you to the convention - it's that
simple!
Because of this, we can accept bookings
later than ever this year. We will have our full PC suite and pass production equipment with us at the convention and
while we are departing for the hotel a
