We will have tickets available on the day for one day and full weekend passes, but as you will need to complete registration forms when you arrive, these will take longer for you to get into the convention.
Passes won't be sent out in advance of the convention this year. Instead we will be making them available for all of you to pick up at the convention in a series of designated pick up times starting from noon on Friday and continuing on Saturday and Sunday allowing for those of you who can only make in on those days and for single day attendees so even if you can't book until a few days before, you will still have a pass waiting for you to collect along with your bag of free gifts!

category. At launch and on display in the Hasbro booth, the KRE-O brand
offers twelve building sets featuring popular TRANSFORMERS characters.

of the figure's converting play pattern. The MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS

sounds and phrases and three modes of conversion – vehicle, robot, and
robot with "mech suit." The trailer, which serves as a weapons depot and

robot to truck mode and features a premium deco only available in this
special edition Comic-Con figure. And, in true TRANSFORMERS fashion, the
“Matrix of Leadership” packaging in which the figure is housed
‘converts’ into a wearable piece!

Auto Assembly Launches New Fanzine - CT Alpha
We're in the last
couple of weeks before Auto Assembly 2011 and currently putting this
year's edition of The Cybertronian Times to bed. It's shaping up to be
another cracking edition, in a similar vein to last year's sell-out
edition and we can't wait to let you see it on the day, although we
aren't going to be stopping with that and sitting back and relaxing, oh
no! There are times when a year's gap between Auto Assembly and new
editions of The Cybertronian Times is a bit too long. With that in mind
we are putting together a new ongoing fanzine to help tide you over in
those months where AA seems just too far away, so later this year we
will be launching CT Alpha, an ongoing companion to The Cybertronian
Times...
So why tell us now you ask? The answer is fairly
straightforward... Instead of just churning something out, we'd like to
offer you the chance to help shape the look and feel of the magazine. So
at 11:30 am on Sunday 14th August 2011 we will be holding an open forum
for you to come along and do just that at Auto Assembly 2011! We'll be
discussing the fanzine, and getting your feedback and some of your ideas
and if anyone is interested in contributing then they can let us know.
Now we know there is lots already taking place at the convention, and
and we have a fairly packed event so if you can't make it and still want
to pass on your ideas to us, we'll have contact information available
on the day for you.
Now there will be all sorts of questions
going through your heads right now, mostly about how often it will come
out, how many pages and how much is this going to cost me? We are going
to have to be coy about some of these details for the time being and
more will be revealed at the discussion itself. However, what we can
tell you just now, aside from a promise that each issue will have more
than 16 pages in it is that the first issue of CT Alpha will be released
on 19th September 2011 and will be absolutely free. That's right -
FREE!
We are looking forward to seeing you there at the discussion forum at Auto Assembly 2011, and sharing some great ideas with you.
Auto
Assembly 2011 is taking place over the weekend of 12th - 14th August
2011 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England and
tickets are available from the website now. For more details on the
convention, to see a full list of all the guests and activities taking
place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the website at
www.autoassembly.org.ukWe hope to see you all in August!
