SG Cybertron Convention coverage

[griffin]

I would have loved to have covered this event myself, but with three Transformers events close together, I had to sacrifice one.

And some of the early photos are pretty random and with poor lighting.
So until some better coverage comes out over the next four days of the convention, these show us:

The big open convention hall, set up with toy displays, plus some of the items available for purchase. (a lot of open space - must be expecting a big crowd)

More displays, plus some new Movie model kits, and shiny prize figures (not sure what for though).

MP11 Starscream on display, plus word that Sunstorm should be unveiled before the Convention ends.

JP Micron & TFPrime figures, including some packaging. Plus a couple more gold coloured TFs.


Added 12/3.
Press release from Cybertron convention, showing off how many people showed up on the first day.

Generations FOC Starscream for 2013.

Presentation Panel, featuring Asian exclusives. (list of the figures are detailed in post 6).
Plus a recap of the details here.
And a short clip from TFPrime from the presentation.


Added 13/3.
TFPrime Voyager class Breakdown prototype revealed.
Images of the new Evac toy, both Legion and Deluxe, to be released at Universal Studios in May. (Legion Evac is in Wave 2 of TFPrime, but no idea yet if they are the same colour)


Added 14/3.
More images of the TakaraTomy Prime toys & Microns.
Fastest Fingers (transforming toys) competition winners.
Model competition by 50 invited Artists, and how to vote.

loads of cool sort of new asia exclusive stuff!

Quite a bit of stuff I'll probably want to get (Laserbeak, Dead End, Bluestreak, Thundercracker, Hoist [hopefully not as pricey as the last legend repaints], Springer, Prime Rumble). It's almost a What if DoTM had been successful in the US, but why is the Kup repaint Swerve? I wanted that to be Gears not Gears' repaint. I'll get it anyway

The "g1" DOTM Leader repaints are a surprise. And a deluxe TF:Prime Ironhide repaint being shown before the original is odd.

Since swerve is a asian market exclusive maybe hasbro US is sving gears for their generations line.

I'm really looking forward to see how the deluxe and voyager repaints turn out especially springer.

Was there a release date announced for these?

Some of this stuff is so weird! There's some potentially cool stuff there though. Wheelie could be great. He looks cool in my mind anyway.
