We knew that there was another Cybertron Convention around the corner, based on some exclusives listed in a recent Hasbro HK listing (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=15936)... but I wasn't expecting it would be announced with just 2.5 months notice. (because I'd have loved to go to the next one)
It's to be in Beijing this time (http://tformers.com/transformers-cybertron-con-announce-events/20165/news.html) (the first was in Shanghai July 2010, the second one was in Singapore in March 2012), but starts August 15th 2013, which doesn't give much time for long-distant fans to organise themselves for it... especially with BotCon between now and then, being the focus for fans willing to travel.
(I guess it should have been expected, as the first two were about 18 months apart.)
Based on previous Cybertron Conventions, we should get to see some new toys revealed (most will have just been seen at SDCC anyway), and some new exclusives to fight over (from the link above)...
Cybertron Convention - Shockwave's Lab (pricing suggests a boxset/diarama of Cyberverse figures perhaps)
Cybertron Convention - Beast Hunters Optimus Prime (pricing suggests this would be the Ultimate version)
Anyone keen enough to go?
(I don't think I will, with two international trips already planned for this year, and I wouldn't be able to get time off work for this being so soon)
