Transformers fans in South-east Asia will finally get a significant conference at which they can celebrate their affection for all things Transformers. The countdown to the Resorts World Sentosa Singapore Transformers Cybertron Conference is well underway. It is all set to commence on the 11th of March and will last for four days in total. Those fans who choose to attend for the whole period until the 14th of March look set to witness quite a spectacle.

Pricing is variable, but the prices excluding accommodation superficially appear reasonable. A one day ticket can be purchased for just $12. While a ticket for four days costs $68, this is a special offer that involves a different set of stuff. There was a conference in Shanghai two years ago, but for fans based in or visiting the region the event appears to be an interesting opportunity.

The event will be graced by a very, very tall statue of Optimus Prime, but many fans will also be pleased by some of the guests. Hideaki Yoke of Takara Tomy is going to be in attendance and, for those appreciative of the toys, the presence of the designer will be just brilliant. For some of them it will be much more exciting than a meeting with Michael Bay (well, we at TheTransformers.Net have already met Michael Bay).

Singapore is a great place for British people to visit. If they book flights, accommodation and tickets quickly they might be able to attend the conference. However, we do have our own conventions in the UK too, including Auto Assembly in Birmingham this summer.

Not everyone has attended a Transformers Convention, but they are becoming an essential part of the calendar for many Transformers fans. There is a big one happening in Savannah in Georgia in the United States later this year, called Savcon. It is taking place over the course of several summer days and will be held from the evening of Friday 22 June until a session at 5:00 pm on Sunday 24 June. The schedule is quite a busy one and there will be plenty of things to do for Transformers fans.

As with any Transformers convention, early registration is a must if you are to participate properly in the event. For example, there is a music show on the Friday night, which those who have not registered prior to May 1st will be excluded from. Attendance on the Friday night is probably the best way of getting to know other people before the con starts in earnest.

A diverse range of activities should make the Transformers convention one to remember for fans. Autograph sessions will permit fans to meet stars, get quotes and find out the insider stories on the many series. Charity events will permit fundraising for a good cause too, as is the case with most Transformers conventions. The art competitions sound fun, for those with a penchant for art (and a hankering to become comic artists themselves). There may be some fans who find the whole thing a bit expensive, but it seems that most of those lucky enough to go for the three days are in for a good time.

For UK fans, don’t forget we have our own convention here in Blighty in Birmingham. Find out more about Auto Assembly here.

There’s a new Transformers event coming to Midwest America. TFExop will take place next year in Wichita, Kansas, and will give fans Transfans the chance to meet fellow admirers of their heroes whilst enjoying the displays and activities at the event.

There will be fan panels, a video room, a dealer room and much more besides. There will also be some original artwork on display at Artist’s Alleys. All fans will have the opportunity to submit their work, whether 2D artwork or custom figures. Further, there will be a competition featuring some fantastic prizes.

If you’re comfortable enough, you can enter the Cosplay Contest where you get the chance to don your best Transformers costume.

Every hour, there will be door prizes meaning the longer you stay, the more chances you have to win.

For those who are experts in Transformers trivia, and you know who you are, there will be a quiz show where attendees will be randomly selected before the competition starts so everyone has the chance to win.

There will be more fun in store once the Expo has closed with the Green Mill Pizza Party. Tickets for the party, which will be held at the Holiday Inn, must be purchased before the show begins.

For information on registration, please visit www.tf-expo.com. The site will have updated information on the event, which you can also get by becoming a fan of TFExpo on Facebook or by following them on Twitter.

You will also be able to purchase an artist or dealer table through. Tables have already begun to sell.

If you have any ideas for a fan panel, you can let them know on their Facebook page.
