Do we want to be associated with this?

Interesting find on facebook.

A industrial/goth dance party with a Cybertron tag. As a transformers fans do we want to associated with this crowd? Is any publicity for transformers good publicity? Feel free to discuss

Mods. I posted this in the non tf forum because it's not a tf event. However if you think it should be moved feel free (like I could stop you)

I think it's a non-event (pun intended) as far as TF fans are concerned. It's just a goth party borrowing some TF branding.

We could make it the next fan meet just to see what the heck is all about. If they are all Emos then chances are that we will need to bring some tissues.

I think the focus is on the non-TFs element here, borrowing a current recognisable theme, without any commitment to that theme. Kinda like the NZ music group Decepticonz (spelling could be off), which even use the Decepticon symbol on their merchandise - I doubt they are TFs fans, but probably just have a related rebelious, non-conformist (Decepticon) theme in their music.

Since you need Facebook registration to access that link, someone who does could probably paste here some of the actual text details to give an idea of how much of a TFs theme this event has.

I once wore a white shirt with a Decepticon logo and Kickback on it to Bloodlust (a goth dance club) and of course, a black shirt with a Decepticon logo and Optimus Prime helmet to the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

And yeah, a Megatron costume on a bus.

So far 7 people have confirmed they'll be there, 9 maybes, 10 won't be attending and waiting on replies from 29 others.

As far as TF related, there's really not much about TF's.

They also have a MySpace page
