The 2009 Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention is presently hold at Singapore Suntec City (14-16 August 2009).
Today I have visited this big event here for the first time. Unfortunately there are nothing much about Transformers exclusive or any upcoming release figures, however Hasbro Singapore is displaying a collection of most(if not all) incarnations of Optimus Prime as well as some Megatron various generation toys.
Surely the display has been the center of attention and many digital camera memories has been reserved for the impressive collection.
I managed to take the photos of the display for your viewing.
Note: Special thanks to Singapore TF fan Stephenus Prime for providing his toys for Hasbro Singapore. Yeah what you see belongs to him.
Also in progress as we speak in the United Kingdom is Auto Assembly 2009. Seibertron.com News Crew member Dead Metal is presently attending this event and will give us all a full recap in a few days.

I did want to feature every one of the 100+ Primes that I own from both Hasbro and TakaraTomy, but space was an issue and Hasbro Singapore specifically mentioned about wanting only the major ones from each series (which was Voyager and Leader to be exact). It didnt stop me from sneaking in some newer Alternities and Robot Masters hehe.. Though I was asked why didnt I display the Ultra Optimus Primal and the regular Lio Convoy with Big Convoy. all I could answer was that when I had the display in my head, these 3 hold a special place in my collection and I wanted them posed in as much to scale from the cartoons as possible, although I have yet to see them 3 drawn together as a group.
Like to share one last picture with everyone here, which I just got from a fan in the Phillipines. A replica of the AllSpark fragment, which was added into the display in front of ROTF Jet Optimus.
Edit: I was happy that a member of Hasbro Singapore was agreeable to my displaying of ROTF Jet Optimus in the unofficial Fan Version. She loved it more than the official one.

In all honesty, I think my collection pales greatly in comparison to what most members here have, but its really encouraging to read the comments and they definitely will keep me going strong in my quest for more Primes. Many thanks guys!

Good to hear from the man who owns the collection! Great stuff, stephenusprime!
Also, it's so cool that Hasbro Singapore allowed the fan mode configuration. I have my Jet Optimus set up that way too. The reversed feet position looks so much better and allows more articulation. Well, the official configuration doesn't allow any articulation of the legs, hehe.
