I'm sorry fo report that NTFA have announced that the next Auto Assembly Europe, whihc was planned for November has been put back until 2013. In an update on their website the group posted the following update
"We regret to inform you that we must move the next Auto Assembly Europe to autumn 2013.
Since the convention in November all the members of the organizer team has had to deal with various personal and health concerns, and we simply haven’t been able to invest nearly as much effort in the convention as we would have liked and needed.
With six months left until the intended date we feel that maybe we could still pull off presenting a so-so convention this autumn, but we don’t want to settle for merely ”acceptable” - we want to surpass and go beyond! And by taking a gap year in 2012 and postponing Auto Assembly Europe to autumn 2013 instead, we ensure that we can do just that.
The planning for AAE 2013 starts right away, and with almost 1,5 year to go we should be able to announce a date and venue well in advance of the convention this time.
So that you won't be completely bereft of AAEurope goodness this year, we intend to renew our efforts to put together the Auto Assembly Europe magazine, originally intended as a post-convention magazine but put on ice for quite some time because of the aforementioned health problems. Work on the magazine will resume soon!
Another piece of AAE goodness has also just been sent out to the AAEurope 2011 attendees - those of you who hadn't already reserved a copy from the NTFA Store, will receive a copy of the Free Comic Book Day comic, Transformers Regeneration One #80.5, as a gift from the Auto Assembly Europe committee! The issue should be delivered to all the Swedish attendees today, and to the non-Swedish attendees tomorrow.
We hope to see you in autumn 2013!
- Lars, Martin, Peter and Dennis"
Auto Assembly 2012 Third Party Product Official Statement
Transformers fandom has been buzzing the last few days with discussion about third party products and the fact that they will no longer be available for sale from some events. As with many of our friends at other conventions such as Savcon, Slagacon and Dairycon, we believe that Transformers fans should be able to make an informed choice for themselves over whether or not to purchase unofficial third party products.
We have spent the last seven months looking at our policy in relation to these and while we will still prohibit the sale of some items, we will be adopting a more open approach which we believe will be much fairer on dealers and attendees alike and provide a much more enjoyable convention and a better trading experience for everyone.
For more details, you can read our official statement here in full:-

The Auto Assembly team have issued the following press release:
Auto Assembly's 12 Days Of Christmas!
It's that time of year again when all the shopkeepers are rubbing their
hands with glee... sorry, we mean everyone is celebrating and getting ready for
the festive season. We're all joining in with the Christmas spirit here at Auto
Assembly as we bring you The 12 Days Of Christmas...!
Throughout December, we'll be bringing you a series of announcements
connected to Auto Assembly. We're not going to reveal what they are right now
but some will be new exclusive videos on our Youtube Channel, others will
feature guest announcements, and there will even be some stuff from Auto
Assembly Europe as well.
Don't forget that you can book your tickets for Auto Assembly 2012 which is
taking place over the weekend of 3rd - 5th August 2012 and will be held at the
Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel which is located near Birmingham International
Airport, Birmingham, England. As always, the convention will have our usual mix
of dealers, guests, workshops, videos, displays, competitions and much more. Our
first two confirmed voice actors are Michael Bell and Townsend Coleman who are
joining our already growing list of guests and it's already shaping up to be a
great convention!
If you are interested in attending next year as a dealer, or are interested
in sponsoring the convention in any way, please email us at
contact@autoassembly.org.ukAlso, if you haven't already seen it, our new Transformers fanzine CT Alpha
was launched recently and you can download the FREE copy of Issue 0
from its website at
www.ct-alpha.com
Each issue is packed with fiction, comic strips, articles and is released as a
digital download. The first "proper" issue is due for release soon with single
issue, three issue and six issue subscriptions available starting from just
£1.25 for a single copy with proceeds going to the convention.
A popular feature at Auto Assembly for the last few years, we are now
adding the Fan Sales Table to
Auto Assembly Europe this year! If you’re
new to the convention, the Fan Sales Table will give all of our
attendees the chance to bring along your unwanted toys and other
Transformers merchandise to the convention and leave them on our special
sales table where we will sell them on your behalf. All you need to do
is make sure your items are bagged and labelled up with the item names,
the selling price (in Swedish Krona) and your name. Our staff will take
care of the sales for you and keep your money aside for you in return
for 10% commission on behalf of the convention.
For more details and to get your items pre-listed, visit the website at
Auto Assembly Europe 2011 in Uppsala
The convention is taking place on 12th – 13th November 2011 in Uppsala,
Sweden and our special guest is none other than Simon Furman!
New Auto Assembly Fanzine, CT Alpha Is Released!
That’s right at long last Issue Zero of our new fanzine CT Alpha from the
creative team behind Auto Assembly’s convention magazine The Cybertronian Times,
is available as promised this issue is entirely free of charge. 32 pages for the
cost of your time.
So what do you get in Issue Zero I hear you ask? Well kicking off the
magazine we have a six page prologue to the ongoing comic story that will be in
CT-Alpha – Transformers: Animated Season Four. Nothing ever stays dead in
the Transformers universe, and it’s never as simple as waving a magic wand and
coming back in this tale courtesy of myself and Ralph Burns.
Other comic strips include – The Story of Drift – Matt Marshall crafts a
delightfully skewed look at the most divisive Transformers character in recent
years. Life Goes On – Sam Palmer shows us that while many did lose their
lives in the events shown in Last Stand of the Wreckers it is not the end of
Impactor’s story. Inheritance from Fox and Jasmine Smith and Malmunis show
us an Optimus Prime reflecting back on the life of another. Rounding out the
comic content is the delightfully off-kilter Tales From Esoteria by Gav
Spence. He dreams about Transformers and draws it for you!
Fans of good quality text stories we have plenty of good things for you to:
A Rock and a Hard Place by Aimee Morgan – Kup’s Cygar is the only thing holding
him back from falling into the madness that beset him before (Spotlight: Kup),
but is it the best possible solution to his problem? Verity Carlo doesn’t
seem to think so. Predatory Instinct sees us look at the legendary hunters
of the Great War – The Predacons. Some legends fade into memory, while
others live again as we will see in this tale by Nick Snowden. Robert Lock
gives us Just because you are Paranoid: A life in the day of Venom – as
the new Decepticon head of security conducts interviews for his
assistance.  He needs the right sort of personality for the role and
he’s going to be thorough!   For Survival – David Underwood
takes us into the mindscape of Sentinel Prime. Just why did the one-time
leader of the Autobots find himself allied with Megatron?  Finally –
Revenge of a Medic by Nicola Piazza. Ratchet spends far too much of his
time patching up Sunstreaker and Sideswipe over the years with their
excesses. Today he gets one back on them.
All wrapped up in a beautiful cover by Guido Guidi (which eagle eyed
readers will recognise as the basis for Cybertronian Times Issue 11 in
2010). This time in it’s pristine monochrome glory. Well that’s your lot
for now.
You want more? Well okay then, but you’ll need to wait. Check
back in two month’s time we will have CT-Alpha Issue 1 waiting for you.
As for the price... We’ve been trumpeting on about the fact that Issue Zero
is free, but haven’t yet mentioned the series proper. We just want to make it
clear that the cover price of CT-Alpha will go entirely towards the costs of
running Auto Assembly which is run on a non-profit making basis. The costs of
website hosting/traffic are not included in the cover price, so if you buy a
copy it’s going directly to AA.
If you just want to buy a single issue it will be £1.25 (that includes any
issues that are larger than the standard 32 page issue). Initially we will be
offering 3 and 6 issue subscriptions. A 3 issue subscription will cost £3.00 and
a 6 issue subscription will cost £6.00. A link to the subscriptions will be
available in the next 24-48 hours on the CT Alpha website -
http://www.ct-alpha.comWe hope that you'll give this new fanzine a try, maybe become regular
subscribers and subscribe to the updates on the website and let us know your
views by email or on the CT Alpha section on the Auto Assembly Forum.
If you get the chance, why not pay the newly revamped Auto Assembly website
a visit as well. With new support for Facebook, Twitter, RSS feeds, our Youtube
Channel and Forum and a much easier to navigate approach, this is an ideal time
to visit to get all the latest updates on CT Alpha, Auto Assembly Europe and
Auto Assembly 2012.
