Below you will find a tag cloud of the most popular news story tags. Simply click on the tag to view all associated stories. Tag clouds are not always the most useful output of tagging, and so you can also browse the news stories using our tag index by clicking on the tag index tag below the tag cloud.
From this section you can browser through all of the possible tags that may have been assigned to a news story. The number of stories tagged to each tag appears within brackets after the tag name. E.G Megatron (456) means that 456 news stories have been tagged with the phrase "Megatron". To navigate, simply use the top bar to browse by the first character of the tag phrase.
Thanks to Simon Furman for submitting timely reminder that he will be in London this weekend at Forbidden Planet doing some signings.
"Just a sneaky reminder that I'll be at London's Forbidden Planet Megastore this coming Saturday (25th April) between 1-2PM, ostensibly signing Torchwood graphic novels but in reality signing anything anyone wants signed (within reason). So, if you're in the area, pop down and get your copies of Maximum Dinobots (or whatever) signed. Be great to see/chat to one and all.
Cheers
Simon Furman"

Following the release of a limited number of one day passes for sale for Auto Assembly 2009 earlier this month, we would like to announce that because of the incredible popularity of this offer, ALL of the tickets for Saturday 15th August 2009 have now SOLD OUT.
We still have a number of one-day passes available for Sunday 16th August for just £25 for adults, and £18 for children, students or senior citizens and under 5's as always are free. However, these are limited so if you want to come along for just the day then you need to book NOW! Further one-day passes for Saturday and Sunday may be available at a later date, but these are the only ones we can guarantee at the moment.
Single day attendees will get access to the FULL convention on your chosen day including all the dealers, workshops, all the guest talks, FREE autograph sessions, our goodie bags, and everything else that weekend attendees have. However, weekend attendees gain earlier admission to the convention and ONLY weekend attendees have access to the exclusive Saturday evening programme with our voice actor script reading, live band and disco and the bonus Friday evening programme.
Full weekend tickets are £45 for adults and £35 for children/students/senior citizens with under 5s being FREE. Family tickets (2 adults and 2 children) for just £145 saving £15!
A provisional programme is on the Auto Assembly website, detailing information on activities and events in the Main Hall and our Alternative Events Room including confirmed details for our first workshops, along with information on many of the activities running during the weekend which will show you what you will miss out on if you only attend for the single day! We will be announcing more of the activities and displays shortly.

Michael Bay has posted a comment on his message board regarding the ShoWest footage he recently posted online.
The Showest footage was pulled down because it was just a 12-hour thing.
I
just wanted the fans to get a taste of what we have been making for a
year and a half because we have been so quiet. The piece was cut about
a month ago for this Showest thing I accepted this past month - so as
you can see many of the shots were far from being finished renders.
This dinky little site received over 1,500,000 hits and 550,000
downloads in this short time. Anyway the trailer is being printed today
and coming out on Wolverine and Star Trek. 64 days left!
