Hello All!

The following announcement is one we as pop culture fans have gotten use to hearing over the last year, but that doesn’t make it any less of a bummer! While efforts made across the globe due to personal hygiene, social distancing, mask wearing, and the vaccine that was introduced over the winter break indicate that by this Summer Covid-19 will be much less of a threat to the general population than it has been, we still nonetheless have canceled plans for a multi-day BotCon event for 2021. There are various reasons for this, but the primary factors include the challenges faced with holding an event of this size and being able to properly implement social distancing guidelines as well as the lead time needed to book guests and vendors. Per the latter, many of these bookings would have been made over the winter months up until now and since things were/are still very uncertain, getting show partners to commit just is not possible at this time. Those early commitments are something that are truly essential for any large sized show. All that said, there is no reason at this time to believe that we will not be fully back up and running as a society by next year, so you can plan on there being a BotCon 2022! We can’t wait to see you all there!

Now! For the silver lining. BotCon as we have been saying is much more than just a show! It is a brand that has been around for over 25 years and is synonymous with both Transformers and Transforming Robots in general. Assuming that conditions continue to improve and that smaller gatherings are still very safe and feasible for 2021, you can expect to see BotCon booths at various smaller regional shows throughout the country this summer and fall. We are thrilled to announce that BotCon Booths will be at RoboCon June 18 & 19 at the Galt House in Louisville Kentucky and at the JoeFest Toy & Comic Show June 26 & 27 at the Augusta Convention Center in Augusta, Georgia. Fans will be able to chat with the BC Productions Crew, purchase the current BotCon Exclusive WASP RAIDER as well as the current BotCon T-Shirt and other BotCon related items past and present, check out some unreleased concepts, and get a sneak peek at concepts for future exclusives (when available for preview).

Keep it locked both here and at our updated homepage BotCon.com

See you all later this year and at our main event in 2022!

It's actually close enough to where I can drive, it's not in some faraway shithole like Los Angeles, Chicago or New York.

Registration has still not gone live yet.

They said back in March that there would be some registration news "next month". It is now nearly the end of May.

Hence why I thought i missed it. I'm about 4-5 hours drive time away from Nashville, I really want to go. But I'd rather not pay $400 for a hotel when I can stay 30-40 minutes outside of town for a quarter of that. I suppose the extra cost is for the convenience, and I would pay it if I could afford it, but I want to save my money for the actual convention.

Sabrblade wrote:We got the first reveal of the convention exclusive box set figures.

They are not Transformers toys, or even third party "not-Transformers". They are "Beastbox" toys produced by 52 Toys, one of which is named and colored to resemble a never-made Beast Wars redeco toy (though, one that was originally going to be a Maximal, while this one is a bad guy).

OK, that's... unexpected. Love the throwback.

btw this BotCon is technically speaking unofficial, right?
