Good news for Danish Transformer fans, and surrounding fans from the Scandinavian countries, as the Nordic TransFans Association presents the
Nordic Mini-Con 2010, which will be in
Aalborg, Denmark. Here's what they have to say.
The NTFA Staff is pleased to announce Nordic Mini-Con 2010 in Aalborg!
Two years ago we held the first ever Nordic Transformers convention, in Arlöv in Sweden. The convention was a big success - we had presentations, competitions, a customizing class, a popular art contest, an exhibition with some more exotic (from a Nordic perspective) Transformers figures and other sci-fi figures, a sales room, plus the worldwide première of the first episode of
Transformers Animated. People came, chatted, mingled, and
had fun!
People have asked for it, we have been looking for opportunities to do it, and now it's time for the sequel:
Nordic Mini-Con 2010! More of the same, only
bigger and
better!
The convention will be held in Aalborg in northern Denmark, with NTFA co-founder and staff-member
Fighbird as the main organizer. Connections are great - you can get there by air (there's one bus going directly from the airport to the location for the convention), by train, and of course by car. If you live close to Oslo or Gothenburg you can take the ferry over to Hirtshals or Frederikshavn and then the train the rest of the distance to Aalborg. And if you live in southern Sweden, you can go by the Øresund train to Copenhagen and then switch to a train to Aalborg.
It will once again take place over the span of a weekend - the question is,
which weekend? We are choosing between five dates in May and June, and now we want
your input on which dates would suit you the best!
Click on this link to go to the poll (you need to be logged in on the board to vote) and give us your answers! And feel free to give us your arguments for and against a certain date in that topic - we will consider all serious opinions. (The poll will remain open until 24:00 on 14 October).
Are you interested in contributing to Nordic Mini-Con 2010 somehow? Perhaps you want to sell/trade at a dealer table, or arrange a panel, competition or presentation - if so, please contact the NTFA Staff, either via a
Personal Message or e-mail to one of the staff members, or via the
contact form.
(Information on prices and how to register for the convention will be posted at a later date.)

Seibertron.com member and all around great guy Jeff from comicbook-art.com stopped by to share some upcoming convention information with us. Here's what he had to share:
Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that Marvel Transformers artist Herb Trimpe will be appearing at several comic shows during the month of October. Herb Trimpe also worked on G.I. Joe for Marvel, including drawing the cover to issue #1. He is also well known for his work on Godzilla and his long run on Incredible Hulk, including the first appearance of Wolverine.
This coming weekend Herb will be attending the Mid-Ohio Con in Columbus. http://midohiocon.blogspot.com/
Next Weekend (10th & 11th) he will be at the Baltimore Comicon. http://www.comicon.com/baltimore/
On 10/17 he will be attending the Big Apple Comicon. (Note he will be attending on Saturday only, although this is not listed on the show site.) http://www.wizardworld.com/home-apple.html
Longtime Transformers writer Bob Budiansky will also make a rare convention appearance at the Big Apple Show, appearing on Saturday and Sunday.
Finally Herb will be appearing at the Boston Comic Con on 10/24 and 10/25.
Both Herb and Bob will be [selling sketches] at the shows and signing for free. If you can't attend a show but are still interested in a sketch or commission, please email me at info@comicbook-art.com
Thanks,
Jeff

Generation One Decepticon Motormaster makes a life like appearance at a recent car show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Motormaster takes the form of a 1987 Kenworth K100E, and without a doubt is a beautiful masterpiece. Take a look at the pictures below.
Thanks to our friend Charles for filling us in. Stay tuned to

As any Transformers fan can attest, the Robots in Disguise have an ability to make things all better in our every day lives. It looks like they'll be taking their "Human Alliance" a step further to help out a great cause.
On October 4th, 2009 at 11:00 AM, Hasbro Children's Hospital will be hosting its inaugural "The Walk: Hasbro Childrens Hospital" Fundraising event. All walkers are welcome to join the event that will be paced by none other than Bumblebee, the first official 2010 Chevy Camaro.
Walkers and their teams from all over Rhode Island and southeastern New England will be able to choose two-mile or five-mile strolls along the scenic and pedestrian-friendly paths by the rivers in historic downtown Providence. While the walkers share a common goal -- enhancing Hasbro Children's Hospital's care for kids -- many will have personal reasons for their involvement.
Timothy J. Babineau, M.D., Rhode Island Hospital's president and chief executive officer, says, "We decided to start this walk in addition to our very successful annual gala. This event will allow members of our community, who prefer to support a different type of activity, to help the young patients at Hasbro Children's Hospital. It's easy for anyone to get involved and be a part of The Walk."

UPDATE!!!!!
On the heels of Seibertron.com's story regarding member complaints of not receiving the TFCon 2009 Exclusive lithograph "Universe Divided" by Alex Milne, we get a response to our inquiry submitted a few days ago. Here's what TFCon had to say:
Was just alerted to the message stickied on the front page of your website. Very hurt and disappointed that a story like this would be posted without hearing from the other side of the story as
it makes it look like the people that work on TFcon are crooks trying to scam Transformers collectors out of a couple hundred dollars by not shipping some posters.
Some people did not receive posters so last month we reshipped to those that indicated to us that they did receive their shipment. Some people have now requested refunds which they have received. [Going] over the topic I saw mention of 2 people from Australia, if they were to check their paypal/credit cards statements they should see that they were
refunded. I see 1 email here from yesterday requesting a refund but if there are still people that have not received it we will certainly refund
them as soon as possible.
In attempting to contact the post office outlet that these were shipped from it no longer exists. It sounds convenient but it's also the truth. Regardless if any of your friends didn't receive a litho have them email this address and will make sure it's checked daily so refunds can be issued so this can be resolved.
Thanks.
The email address that was used was tfcon@moutaincable.com, the same email address located under the contact information on the TFCon website.
The folks of TFCon are dedicated individuals who volunteer for the event and are Transformers fans just like you and I. It is this Seibertronians belief that no foul play was intended and the Transformers fans of TFCon will do everything in their power to correct this situation.
Seibertron.com: If it's happening, we're there.
--------------------------------------------------
Back in May of 2009, Seibertron.com
reported that the Canadian Transformers Convention, TFCon, was offering non attendees a chance to own an exclusive art piece from the event.
Universe Divided, done by artist Alex Milne, was a large poster done to commemerate the 25th Anniversary of the Transformers franchise.
Recently, members of Seibertron.com have been coming foward to claim that the TFCon exclusive lithograph has not been delivered despite ordering the poster. A couple members have even stated that communication between the folks over at TFCon had stopped and email inquiries were not being responded to. Seibertron.com also submitted and official inquiry to these allegations but the email was not immediately answered.
Have you ordered the TFCon 2009 Lithograph and either recieved it or not? Please let us know by clicking
Discuss this topic above and help your fellow Seibertronians resolve this dilemna.
