Only about five weeks away, and Hasbro Singapore have finally released some details of what is on offer, and how much it will cost.

Panel Sessions with special guest, Mr. Hideaki Yoke and TRANSFORMERS brand experts from Hasbro;
A 22-foot tall OPTIMUS PRIME character statue, one of the largest TRANSFORMERS statues ever;
TRANSFORMERS drawing classes by top Hasbro artists (at select times);
Three-dimensional action figure dioramas capturing scenes from popular TRANSFORMERS entertainment including the blockbuster movies;

To showcase the history of the brand, Hasbro will present an extensive collection of historical TRANSFORMERS items from throughout the brand’s 27 year history via a visually stunning exhibit. The exhibit will take fans through the chronological progression of the TRANSFORMERS brand, beginning with the classic ‘Generation 1’ era.
