Fellow Seibertronian and podcaster xRotorstormx has been keeping her optics on BotCon 2015 updates - and has notified us the Facebook update from BotCon HQ, concerning the Saturday evening festivities, which are now to include the Hall of Fame announcements along with the Awards Dinner and Auction. Read on below for more, and head here to register until 5pm Central today!

Also included below is an email from the organisers, concerning the Welker and Non-Attending packages, attempting to smooth out some further wrinkles in the online system.

We are excited to announce that at the BotCon 2015 Saturday Night Awards Dinner and Auction, the Transformers 2015 Hall of Fame induction ceremony will also be included in the nights festivities. Fans at BotCon will be first to see which character, combiner and musical act will be added to the Transformers Hall of Fame. And as a VERY special treat, Hasbro will also be inducting a human to the Hall of Fame for 2015. This legendary actor has been part of the Transformers brand since the very start. You will NOT want to miss this event! To register for BotCon 2015, please be sure to do that here: http://www.botcon.com/BotCon2015/bc15register.cfm

Today is the last day for BotCon registration for ATTENDING packages.

Registration closes at 5 pm Central Time.

If you need an ATTENDING package and you are still getting non-member pricing (limited number of accounts), go ahead and process your package and send us an email so we know to process a credit. The credits won't be processed until next week.

Some of our NON-ATTENDING members are also having an issue getting the member pricing. For you, after we close ATTENDING registration today, we will move the NON-ATTENDING packages to the club store. If you are getting non-member pricing and need a NON-ATTENDING package, check the Club store tomorrow and you can order the NON-ATTENDING sets there.

PLEASE note that the store has no way to limit the loose sets to a 1:1 (must purchase box set to get loose set), but every order will be reviewed by admin for compliance.

All remaining T-shirts, assembled unpainted class figures and hats will go to the show. If there are any left, we will put them in the store after BotCon.

Thank you for all of your support and patience as we have worked through these issues.

See you in St. Charles!

GEE, I wonder WHO the human inductee could be?!!

You know, I bet it's Michael Bell. A surprise, unannounced appearance from Michael Bell. That's why they got him to voice High Tide in Rescue Bots, so that he could make a comeback to the brand just in time to receive this honor. It all makes sense now.

Mmhmm, it's totally Michael Bell. I can't think of anyone else who'd possibly receive such an honor at the event. I wonder if Frank Welker would get to shake Bell's hand as he heads up to the stage.

In fact, Welker should host the event. They should totally have Frank Welker host the Hall of Fame event, just so he can personally hand Michael Bell the Hall of Fame trophy once Bell makes his surprise, unannounced appearance and comes up onto stage to give his victory speech. Wouldn't that be a sight to behold.

I mean, why else would they go to such trouble to get Frank Welker to come to this year's BotCon? Surely it's so that Frank Welker could host the Hall of Fame event and present the secretly-invited Michael Bell with a Hall of Fame trophy. It will truly be a moment of beauty and emotion.

*smacks chest* Gets me right here just thinking of it. *wipes tear from his eye*

If you are still in need of a room for BotCon this year, you might still have some luck. BotCon tweeted that the convention hotel which is the Pheasant Run Resort has added a limited number of room nights. Hurry up to book your room and remember that registration ends today at 5 pm Central time.

Trend the past several years has been that you'll see the attendee "freebie" Wednesday after folks have picked up their packages, and the rest on Thursday when the club store opens.

Registration package pick up is on Thursday, so Wednesday shouldn't have figures shown.

Unless you meant from the Golden Ticket people.

While not an official announcement from BotCon 2015, fans of the IDW Transformers comics, comics art and people who follow the doings of the Transformers community might be interested in the new print by Josh Burcham (colourist and artist for IDW and FunPub), calling back to the Last Stand of the Wreckers! Check out the mirrored image below, thanks to a notification from fellow Seibertronian leokearon, and make sure to pop by Burcham's table at the event to pick one up.

I'll pass. Not keen on the goofy cartoon style for what was supposed to be a badass bunch of Autobots. Not my thing at all.

Its a homage to the title screen to Japans transformers animated. Hence the cartoonyness.

I am not really interested if it's a homage to the Japanese Animated cartoon; I still don't like it. It's like doing a picture of Grimlock, as a homage to Barnie the Dinosaur, and wondering why noone bought an expensive print of it.

The fail is strong in this print.

Also, have you seen the art in the comic itself? Kinda cartoony. So I think it's appropriate. It's ok for you to not like it. But I certainly don't have a problem with it and wouldn't call it a failure.

And BW Megatron is the Barney homage. Not Grimlock

i actually think its pretty cool. even with the campy cartoon style, the Wreckers still look tough as nails. the print captures their personalities well, like how Rotorstorm is all up front with his demeanor, just like his fighting style, and Fisitron's jumpin in the air like a fanboy haha. i'd cop. but just because i'm a huge fan of the Wreckers. :WRECKERS:

Well that makes sense. I detest Animated's 'style'.

I dunno, drawn like this it doesn't look like they're capable of actually wrecking anything. Poor neutered wreckers. I miss the days where everything didn't get cutesified all to hell. Seen shelves full of those crappy Funko pop figures that have barely left any franchise alone...

While I agree, it's because people buy them. Like in droves. If they weren't so successful they wouldn't make them. If you have a problem, blame the insipid obsessive fans, not the companies.

Personal rant: I think the availability of geek culture is actually gonna kill it. I mean now this stuff is everywhere and starting to get obnoxious. I know people love content but as an older fan, remember when you'd seen something Star Wars and it was special? And that was a franchise that started the marketing machine. But now, it's over saturation. /end rant.

i can relate to the feelings of annoyance at how everything is becomin my little ponyish. i mean damn. Tranformers are basically a race of beings whose underlying purpose is to slaughter one another over energy to power themselves and their planet, which was drained of said energy due to stated slaughter of one another... and now they're all qt-fied while doin it. haha..

anyway, this is the Wreckers print i'd like to purchase. lifted from the deviantart page of the same artist as the above print.

ugh.. so freakin badass :WRECKERS:

Yeah, but I should say that I don't think the print that we were talking about was actually cute. It reminds me of the art style in the picture you submitted. Very Roche.

However, yeah, i think too much cute can derail the Point of the story.

To be fair Grimlock personality wise is probably a better fit for Barney. I don't think he was talking about Grimlock himself being an homage that would be impossible due to Grimlock's age. Though I am pretty sure Grimlock was Godzilla inspired. Given BWM's age it's possible that the makers of the show were having a little fun though it's probably a coincidence

I was joking cause they are both purple.

Also: Grimlock based on Godzilla? He looks pretty much like every drawing of a trex in the 80s. Now trypticon as Godzilla, yes.

I think some of you might be a bit confused about what in particular about this artwork is meant to be homaging the Japanese Animated intro. It's not the art style that's an Animated homage, but the layout of the picture. The way everyone's all lined up in heroic yet fun-loving poses standing atop the slanted text while set against a background of a partially-visible planet in space. THAT's the Animated homage.

The art style itself, however, is just Josh Burcham's own personal art style that he uses in his works, like these:

All of these are in the same art style as the Wrecker art, and is far from resembling the traditional look of Transformers Animated.

After yesterday's Josh Burcham Wrecker print, fellow Seibertronian podcaster xRotorstormx notifies us of another IDW artist Transformers print to make its debut at BotCon 2015's Artist Alley - Matt Frank, regular artist on Godzilla, and who worked on the acclaimed Spotlight: Trailcutter, offers fans an amazingly kaiju-esque Deathsaurus, with colours by Transformers regular colormancer Josh Perez. Check it out mirrored below!

Another couple of print additions to the BotCon 2015 Artist Alley comes from the dream(y) team of IDW regular cover artist Casey Coller and colourist/writer John-Paul Bove, featuring both a newcomer and a mainstay of the Transformers cast. Check out the mirrored images below of the two prints they will have available at the event, featuring Blurr (in honour of guest John Moschitta Jr, voice actor for the character) and savant Camien Nautica from MTMTE!

I wish I had them out of storage so I could check. Was hoping for a gaudy G2 Flamefeather out of the US version to go with Botcon Cindersaur. He needs a friend. Finish the trio with Sparkstalker out of Lazerback.

That is one sexy sexy mechanical construct. You know, thinking about the argument about gender in transformers, they have really always had gender. I mean they all sounded like men right? Had they all looked like Whirl or maybe Obsidian then I'd think they were gender less robots but really I think they always had gender so, having females seems like a forgone conclusion. At least too me.

Not to mention the fact that Whirl's holo-avatar is this helps your argument.

Still, when I read Whirl he sounds like a wiseguy to me, like a young Steve Buscemi.

We've seen a couple of these over the past year already, but the prints that IDW colourist John-Paul Bove will be bringing to BotCon 2015 have a certain something to them, and definitely could use a boost on our front page - plus, we get another Casey Coller/Bove collaboration, featuring Arcee!

Check out below three examples of the art deco inspired propaganda prints featuring Optimus Prime, the Seekers, and Soundwave, and make sure to pick one or all of them up next weekend, and take a look at the new addition to the previous Nautica and Blurr announcements.
