Name your 3 best and 3 worst Transformers memories of 2012.

For me...

-==Highlights==-

Osaka Fan Meet in January
My first time back to Japan in many years, and my first time ever to Osaka. Got to meet up with some Japanese fans and Ode To A Grasshopper. Spent the whole day roaming around Umeda and Den Den Town Transformers hunting and talking about Transformers in Japanese. Scored some pretty cheap deals thanks to group haggling at Hero Gangu, and I scored a free MISB United Frumble! Definitely one of the most memorable meets I've ever attended.


Meeting Transformers Voice Actors
Got to meet Miki Shinichirō at Smash!, and Garry Chalk and Steve Blum at Heroes and Villains, and naturally got autographs. Also finally got to meet OzFormer and epic TF Cosplayer Seishinkibou.


Fall of Cybertron
Really enjoy playing this game! Probably enjoying too much as I've gained some weight since I started playing it.

Seeing Hasbro drop the ball with Dark of the Moon
Lucky for me I managed to get Dotm Deluxe Quejack, Leadfoot and Soundwave from Japan... but I can't believe Hasbro didn't take these already-existing moulds and release it for their market... instead choosing to give us more repaints of existing moulds. And neither Hasbro or TakaraTOMY bothered to give us a decent Dino/Mirage figure... only the crappy Legion Class repaint/retool of Legends ROTF Sideways. Boo.


Hasbro Australia not releasing TF Prime First Edition
...although according to at least Hasbro rep I spoke with, it was because none of the retailers showed interest in ordering this line, but Hasbro AU were willing to release it if they had orders. Either way, the Australian market missed out. I managed to get mine from Hong Kong and Japan as I suspected that they wouldn't come out here... times like this I hate being right.


No player mute function on Fall of Cybertron, PS3 version
The one thing that occasionally ruined the game for me -- talkers! Gah!! I just now refuse to play any games where there's someone talking into their mic.

There have been a lot of other memorable moments, from the awesome fun of the Parramatta Barbecue/Picnic, to the frustrating disappointment of the Arms Micron toys with their stickers and craptastic Mini-Cons. But those would be my top and bottom 3.
