Oz Comic Con 2015 Transformers guests

Looking to rival Supanova as a pop culture convention, the Oz Comic Con has five conventions around the country this year, starting with Perth and Adelaide in April, Melbourne in June, and then Brisbane and Sydney in September.

The Brisbane September show (only) is the one that will have some SDCC exclusives being sold by Hasbro (sounds like they will have a booth at both this year to promote or sell products) through Toyworld's booth, but there look to be some Transformers Voice Actors at the earlier ones for fans to check out. (later shows don't have all their guests listed yet, so might have some at them as well)

Perth - April 11/12 - Neil Kaplan (RID 2001 Optimus Prime), Jason Marsden (Rescue Bots Kade Burns)

Adelaide - April 18/19 - Neil Kaplan (RID 2001 Optimus Prime), Jason Marsden (Rescue Bots Kade Burns)

Melbourne - June 27/28 - (none yet, but still yet to add all guests)

Brisbane - September 19/20 - (none yet, but still yet to add all guests)

Sydney - September 26/27 - (none yet, but still yet to add all guests)


If I've missed anyone that has a Transformers involvement (there are a couple of IDW people I don't recognise), or a new Transformers guest is added, post here and I'll add it to the list.

If Garry Chalk and/or David Kaye is attending then count me in!

Hell, if they end up selling TF SDCC exclusives I'll make the 4 hour drive to Melbourne come September :D

I don't think that's gonna help, if the convention is in Sydney... :p

Looking forward to this, might even take the protoforms along.:)

I'm with you mate! Gary Chalk!

that would be something else, having SDCC items available at a con here in Australia. I hope they let us know in advance so those who will be able to attend the con don't spend ridiculous amounts shipping something from SDCC that they could otherwise pick up in person.

I've met Neil Kaplan. He's a nice guy and really friendly and funny too.

Gary Chalk is the bomb!

I nearly pi$$ed myself when was talking as Optimus Primal and dropped the C bomb! Mind you many beers were had by that time:D

Funniest thing I have heard.

It was already noted that the SDCC Devastator was only being sold at the Brisbane convention (instead of both Brisbane and Sydney)... and now we have some extra details from Hasbro Australia.

At the Brisbane show (September 19-20 - Convention Centre), a very limited number will be sold at the Mr Toys Toyworld booth, but a price has not been made public yet.
I would expect at least AU$300, based on the ToysRUs pricing of the regular version, the limited number, and that Toyworld is one of the more expensive retail toy sources in Australia (due to being a franchise).

There are still no guests listed that I recognise as Transformers related, but they do have some interesting Sci-Fi - Fantasy guests if you want to go to see if you can get one of the SDCC Devastators. Start up a meet topic if you want to meet up other members while you are there, as there will be Transformers toys on sale by some of the regular Dealers, plus fan-artist MilesPrower.


(since there aren't any Transformers guests, and I already bought the SDCC Devastator, I have no interest in going)

I guess Toyworld didn't sell all of their stock, as the excess Devastators are being sold in their CBD store, for less than ToysRUs are selling their regular ones.

Hey griffin I was at Sydney Oz Comic Con and one store had SDCC Devastator and Combiner Hunters sets there. Didn't see price, although there was only one of each so it may be aftermarket
