By the way my mom is the best of the best of the best at making costumes you should’ve seen my praying mantis one, it was awesome, and probably she could make a transforming costume with working head lights and a small engine that powers the wheels.

Not sure about the prizes, but I do remember that they were presented by Derrick J Wyatt last year.

Many people vlog from TFcon, so if you keep an eye on Youtube, you'll probably see any number of events! Evantainment puts together a DVD every year as well. And hopefully you'll make it to TFcon one of these years - especially if you can create great costumes! Sounds like your mom has some talent!

To each their own I suppose. But yeah, I'm not surprised IT hasn't made anything since. They've just straight up took their purchases and ran. The HeadRobots is a bit of a step down from the D.I.A. Commander back in '09, but hey, not too many things will top that.

And this is why I'm in your life, right?

Fort Max? Is that who Stronghold is (the head certainly suggested this, but I have to imagine it's going to take a bunch of Reprolabels and still won't look right) ?

Still, I'd rather HeadRobots just put out their Voyager Bludgeon head first.

In command of a lost band of Transformers from before the Great War, Stronghold must now deal with the likes of an escapee war criminal in the form of Zarak. Armed with his Master Cannon and double blasters, this leader of the fabled Head Robots is a force to be reckoned with now that he holds the plans to the mysterious project Maximus...

We are very pleased to welcome Transformers voice actor Paul Eiding to TFcon 2011 for the 25th Anniversary of Transformers The Movie and his first ever Canadian convention appearance.

The voice of Generation 1 Perceptor; Mr. Eiding will be taking part in Q&A panel and autograph sessions with the attendees of the Canadian Transformers Collectors Convention.

We are happy to welcome back Transformers comic book artist Alex Milne to TFcon 2011. He will be setup in the TFcon artist alley all weekend long signing and sketching for fans. Alex did the packaging art for our convention exclusive Stronghold this year as well as the art for the comic that will be included in the TFcon 2011 program.

Alex has worked on Transformers Energon #26-29 and 31; G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: The Art of War #4 and 5; as well as IDW’s Megatron Origin; the Transformers (2007) Official Movie Adaptation; Spotlight: Arcee; The Reign of Starscream; Transformers: Alliance; Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation issue 3; Tales of the Fallen #5 Ravage, #6 Arcee; The Transformers: Drift; and The Transformers (issues 16-18).

TFcon’s expansion to a 2 day convention was made possible through merging with the Canadian 80s Toy Expo on the Sunday of the event. This was necessary due to many dealers completely selling out of merchandise on the Saturday requiring a dealer room restock if a 2nd day was to be added. This year is no different with the Sunday bringing us Canada’s largest dealer room for 80s toy related merchandise consisting of dealers selling Super Heroes (Marvel, DC etc), Star Wars (new and vintage), Transformers (vintage and Japanese imports), G.I. Joe (vintage and modern), Masters of the Universe (vintage and classics), Wrestling, and tons of other Action Figures and collectibles. We will also welcome new guests to the convention on the Sunday.
