Australian Transformers Convention

I can tell you as a convention goer that is tight with some people. There has been a rumor merking around that there may be a tf con in 2013, this is just rumor though. But one of the biggest problems is that tf actors are mainly voice actors and there is no money to be made there in signature, and most people dont go for pictures either.

One guy on the Armageddon and Oz Comic Con has been plugging the contacts for some Beast Wars and G1 voice actors. So far from what I have been paying attention to is that he helped them get Garry Chalk down here for the heroes and villians convention this year. He has been doing a lot of work for Gregg Berger as well plugging his name out there and the details plus trying to get his son's band down here.

If you guys were to get a transformers convention up and running again maybe he is some one worth looking into.

Gok posted some pictures already and the last time anything was tried was 2009. Surely it wouldn't hurt to try again. I've already purchased a ticket to the Adelaide con so I'd be happy to help organize a booth.

I would be much more interested in meeting voice actors than anyone from the movies but that's probably not what the masses would prefer.

Not only that but as some conventions have even said, how will they make their money back? voice actors are free well the godd conventions are any ways. But to make your money back you would have to charge a small amount on autographs and photos, make sure there are plenty of stalls as well.

You need to think about these before having a convention because those haveto cover not just the event grounds you hire but also the cost for a voice actor to fly over seas plus accomodation as well. It would be difficult but hey the aussie dollar is stron so why not lol.

I came back to this thread to offer the simple idea of just us, the collectors, having a booth at oz comic con. It would be a good opportunity to gauge interest for an actual con later. It's pretty clear that a stand alone TF con won't be happening this year.
