Written by Big Bot on June 15, 2009 | Auto Assembly,Conventions,News | Tags: , , —

Just like last year, Auto Assembly, Europe’s largest Transformers convention, has again been previewed by an article on the BBC website.

The article contains an interview with Simon Plumbe and lots of details for anyone who hasn’t heard about the convention but is interested in attending. Here’s the best quote:

“If you’ve never been to a convention before but you’re passionate about Transformers and want to meet like-minded fans, meet the stars of the series, and just want to enjoy a packed weekend of Transformers-themed activities, then maybe Auto Assembly 2009 is for you!”

This years convention is a 2 day event over the weekend of the 15th and 16th August 2009 in Birmingham.

BBC Report of Auto Assembly 2008

Written by Big Bot on August 4, 2008 | Auto Assembly,Conventions,News | Tags: , , —

The BBC have updated their article first posted back in June with a review of Auto Assembly 2008 from last weekend.

Some interesting facts come out of the article, with news that the convention broke the European attendance record for a Transformers convention, with 423 people, compared to 409 in 2005. The other interesting fact is that it was estimated that over £30,000 was spent during the day.

A gallery was also posted of various parts of the convention, including TF@TM’s table. Unfortunately, our table wasn’t suitable for the BBC’s new guidlines. Specimen-17 did get in photo number 4 though.
