Simon Plumbe has sent out another press release regarding Auto Assembly 2011 and the possible effects that the recent disturbances in Birmingham may have on transport to and from the hotel
Birmingham Update Press Release
Hi everyone,
| Discuss: Read on
Auto Assembly has sent out the following annoucement
Hi everyone,
In
light of the recent, saddening news coming from various cities around
the UK, the Auto Assembly Committee has been flooded with questions, as
you might imagine. Our response has been purposefully delayed and
carefully considered - we are sure you will understand that we are faced
with a unique situation and we wanted to take the opportunity to
consider every possible eventuality.
To anybody who doesn’t
know, there have been reports of isolated pockets of civil unrest in
Birmingham. West Midlands Police have confirmed they will have a very
large Police presence on the streets tonight to ensure that they
continue to calm the situation. Like everybody in the UK right now, we
are thankful for the great job that the Officers are doing at present in
such difficult circumstances.
Nevertheless, we are pleased to
announce that as things stand, Auto Assembly 2011 will go ahead as
planned... and friends...it is going to rock! As the song goes,
“Nothing’s gonna stand in our way, not tonight!”
Now, we are
keeping a constant eye on the news and on official Police press releases
so, if this situation changes we promise we will make an announcement
the second we find out. But rest assured, we have no intentions
whatsoever of cancelling Europe’s biggest and best Transformers
convention unless we are presented with absolutely no alternative. The
show, as they say, must go on!
However - it is of the utmost
importance that all our convention goers please bear a few things in
mind to ensure that we all have a fantastic and most importantly, a safe
convention this weekend.
1. Auto Assembly 2011 is still ON
2. Allow extra travelling time to and from the convention
3. Don't go out of the hotel alone. Try to stay in groups for safety.
4. Don't go out of the hotel after dark on your own
5. Keep valuables safe at all times
6. Be vigilant
7. Please look out for each other and be safe.
As
we say, if for any reason the situation changes we will inform you as
soon as we can, but at present Auto Assembly 2011 is ON!!!! We just
need to take extra care in looking after each other this year
Transformers fans.
Finally, remember that for those of you
arriving in Birmingham one or two days early, you can pick up your
passes on Thursday afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 pm which will make
your admission to the convention Much easier. Trish and Simon will be in
the hotel bar on the second floor to do this but you must contact us in
advance to let us know.
Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing you all in a few days.
The Auto Assembly Team

2005 Boards member Masabon has shared images of his Transformers Dark of the Moon
Darkside Optimus Prime figure, which is a Decepticon rather than just an Autobot coloured black.
DECEPTICON - DARKSIDE OPTIMUS PRIME
HE IS A DESTROYER BORN FROM THE DARK SIDE OF OPTIMUS PRIME.
IF YOU REFER OPTIMUS PRIME'S GOOD SIDE IS "LIGHT", HE WILL BE
AN EXISTENCE TO BE CALLED "SHADOW".
HE THINKS "EXISTENCE OF GOOD CREATES EVIL", AND HIS AUTOBOTS?BRINGS PEACE TO UNIVERSE. HE HAS A DIMENSIONAL TRANSPORT DEVICE WHICH WAS MADE WITH ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY IN HIS CHEST, AND PLANS TO DESTROY ALL OPTIMUS PRIMES IN ALL DIMENSIONS EXCEPT HIMSELF.
TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE, HE NOW JOINED THE DECEPTICONS TEMPORARILY...
HE ACCOMPLISHES THE DUTY. THE MOMENT OPTIMUS PRIME MEETS SIMILAR APPEARANCE OF HIMSELF IN SURPROSE AND LOWERS HIS GUARD, THAT'LL BE THE VERY LAST MOMENT OF HIS LIFE...!

Thanks to Teletoon rips of the Transformers Prime Episode 21 are now on You Tube, before they are shown on US or Canadian TVs.
The episode is basically Grimlock's New Brain from the original Transformers cartoon series.
Wilst the Autobots and Decepticon's battle it out over one of the Cybertronian capsules, containing unknown knowledge, Bulkhead is enfused with the "living knowledge" giving him unrival scientific knowledge, with a cost.
With Megatron after Bulkhead's new found knowledge, the Autobots are after a way to save Bulkheads mind.
Lots of nice one-liners, mainly focusing on Bulkhead and Miko (two of the better characters), with Decepticon input from Breakdown and Knock-Out

During TFCon it was announced that, third party toy maker, TFC would be making a large scale Predacon set, well it turns out that this information was incorrect. JustIToys have posted an image and two comments on their Facebook page that confirm that the image that was shown is actually of a JustIToys project and not a TFC project. JustIToys, pronounced "Just Love Toys", are best known for making the non-official Words Smallest Transformers figures. This set, however, has been confirmed as being a large scale set. Here's what they had to say:
"tfcon made a mistake, it is our project, not TFC project, they messed up." and "Large scale, it's a combiner, but we don't want to use the names.."

The figure is a painted win a matt gold finish rather than being chromed in gold so it is easy to tell the difference. Another difference is that the genuine Gold Masterpiece figure comes with a transparent axe and have gold plastic joints.
You can view the new images of this knock-off below.
