Auto Assembly 2008 Update - 23rd June 2008

With just under six weeks to to go until Auto Assembly 2008, it's time for another pre-convention update on the latest developments with Europe's biggest Transformers event in 2008! We've got a few bits of news to bring you as well as some important reminders for all of you...

* Booking Confirmations *

We've roughly sent out the first two hundred of these give or take a couple where there are one or two isses that we need to resolve before they are sent out. The remainder will be sent out by this weekend so they will all be done apart from any bookings that arrive with us from this Thursday onwards.

* Pre-Registration Reminder *

I know we do keep saying this, but we can't stress enough the importance of pre-booking for Auto Assembly 2008. It DOES make our job a lot easier in terms of planning the convention and does help us with our budget planning to help bring you a better convention. One thing we have noticed looking on a lot of forums over the last month or so is the number of fans who have been talking about attending the convention this year and who have said that they will be there but who have NOT currently registered! With early admission and the chance of extra free gifts and entry into our pre-registrant prize draw isn't that worth it for that alone?!

There are a few things I would like to say in terms of our pre-registration targets however. We do have our break-even point that we ovbiously want to reach from pre-bookings but we do have a couple of other targets that we want to reach with YOUR help. Our first main goal is to beat the all-time European record from pre-registrations alone so we would love to have 410 pre-bookings.

However, the dream figure for us would be to reach 450 pre-bookings by at least 10 days before the convention. If we can manage this it *should* enable us to produce a THIRD postcard to give away to all attendees, potentially secure an ELEVENTH guest AND there is a surprise we are hoping to work on for the convention that may need extra money to fund it. So if you haven't booked up and you are planning to or were thinking of paying on the day, you know what to do. If you've already booked, get your friends to come along as well!!

* Pre-Registration Prize Draw *

Tying in with this, as we have mentioned before, we are running a prize draw for all pre-registrants. To enter, all you need to do is pre-book and the winner will be announced during the opening ceremony and the winner will receive a bundle of goodies including a G1 graphic novel, a Transformers Titanium figure, a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) to Auto Assembly 2009 and more besides!

* Fast-Track Entry *

This is just something we are considering right now and we'll confirm it closer to the day itself, but for anyone arriving on the Friday night we may give fans the opportunity to collect their registration packs assuming we can get our registration desk set up in time. You won't be able to spend time in the hall with the dealers, just collect your packs, but this will mean that once the doors open on Saturday morning you'll be able to walk right in at 10:30 am!

This is just an idea right now but we'll let you all know if this is going to happen. Again, this will be for PRE-REGISTRANTS ONLY!! Keep reading these updates for more news on whether we do this fast-track entry system!

* Charity Raffle Update *

Thanks to a very generous donation from Nostalgia & Comics in Birmingham, we now have a massive selection of almost 20 prizes in the charity raffle covering the movie and G1 including t-shirts, comics, books, toys, figures and more! Tickets will be just 20p with all proceeds going to our nominated charity Help A Local Child. If every attendee spends just n tickets that will help us raise almost 00 for charity just from the raffle alone so please be generous!

* Toy Collection *

We're running another toy collection again for Help A Local Child so if you have any unwanted BRAND NEW toys that you want to donate, please bring them along and leave them at the registration desk. They MUST have the CE safety mark on them but apart from that they can be anything - action figures, board games, jigsaws, boys or girls toys and don't have to be limited to Transformers but they MUST be NEW. Last time we collected SIX BOXES full of toys and we'd like to thank everyone for their generous donations.

* Guest Update *

A quick update on one of our guests, Kat Nicholson. Contrary to what we have said before, while Kat made her Transformers debut colouring the Beast Wars Megatron postcard for Auto Assembly: Target 2006 she has since worked professionally on Transformers working on IDW's Beast Wars Source Books and has now done work for Titan's Transformers comic and will also be working on their forthcoming Transformers Animated comic... although they seem to like referring to her as Kat Robinson!

* Volunteering *

We still need more volunteers to come forward for the convention. While we have had plenty of offers, not many of you have sent in your volunteering forms which we need to be able to allocate everyone to their duties during the day so please get these in to us as soon as possible!



Well, that's it for now, but we should have a few more announcements over the next few days so keep an eye out on all the major TF websites and forums and look out for our next update next weekend and we hope to see a lot of you all on 2nd August!

As always, for all the latest information on Auto Assembly 2008, to book online or to download booking forms or for more information on anything in this weekly update, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk

Auto Assembly 2008 Non-Attendee Pack Available!!

A number of you who are unable to join us for Auto Assembly 2008 have asked if you can - as we have done in previous years - purchase a non-attendee pack from us. We have been looking into a few options and we are now able to offer this to each of you in several options which are available to buy NOW through the Auto Assembly website!

There are three packs - Basic, Standard and Deluxe each offering different benefits and bundles and are at different prices which should cover all of the options available to each of you who are interested.

BASIC -
£25

This pack includes all of the items from the goodie bag (depending on when you book, you will get more items where appropriate), entry into the pre-registrant prize draw, a copy of The Cybertronian Times Issue 9 (and we will endeavour to get this signed by as many of our ten guests as possible for you), plus one each of the three keyrings that we are producing for Auto Assembly 2008.

In addition, you will be able to bid by proxy on any items in the auction by emailing us details of what item you are interested and your maximum bid. Obviously, if you are the winning bidder, there will be an additional charge after the convention for any items you win plus postage. This amount will need to be paid for within 30 days of the end of the convention.

All of this will be posted to you first class after the convention. Overseas packs will incur an additional cost for postage which will depend on the goodie bag contents although we don't expect this to be more than £5.

STANDARD -
£30

The standard package will include all of the above PLUS the opportunity to attend the convention should your circumstances change, as well as including an Auto Assembly lanyard for your name pass. Again, overseas packs will incur an additional cost for postage which will depend on the goodie bag contents.

DELUXE - £30 plus additional costs TBC

The ultimate package! This is the same as the standard package but also gives you EVERY Auto Assembly 2008 exclusive that we are able to obtain on your behalf that may be produced by anyone else attending. This will include the fanzines produced by Transmasters UK, anything from Wildfur if they do any Auto Assembly editions of their comics, and anything else.

Please note that there will be additional charges for ALL of these items and postage and we can not guarantee what these costs will be. This amount will need to be paid for within 30 days of the end of the convention. We will not be able to offer these on a selective basis, it will be everything or none so if you don't want all of the bonus items, simply select the BASIC or STANDARD packages.

* * *

Please note that with all of the above packs, winners of any of the prize draws or competitions will be responsible for postage costs for their prizes.


If you haven't already booked and you're able to come along and join us for another rip-roaring convention, head on over to the website now to book your tickets. If you can't make it, pop over to the site and get your non-attendee packs to get involved! We're looking forward to seeing you all in five weeks time!

A photograph taken on a mobile phone has made it onto the internet showing what appears to be a poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The poster, which may well be fake, shows a robotic head (possibly the new face for Megatron) and the tag line "Invasion begins" at the top.

Episode 29 - A Bridge Too Close Part 2 (247 images)

A full review of the episodes will be added later, as well as some video clips from the episode.

TVShowsOnDVD.com has updated with an image of the Transformers Animated Season One DVD box set art.

The cover featureds Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in front of Detroit City. The 2-disc box set is due out on August 19th 2008 in the US and will contain 13 Season One episodes. However the first 3-parter is not included in the set as it will be made available individually.

TFWorld2005 have a video interview with Gregg Berger, the voice of G1 Grimlock (amoung others)

You can see the videos on You Tube or on TFW.

TFormers main site, TNI, has been reporting from the GI Joe convention and has picked up on a bit of news, well clarification on something which was rather obvious.

Brian Savage has confirmed that both the 2009 Transformers and GI Joe conventions would take place around 6 weeks apart and could coincide with the release of their respective Live Action Movies.

Robotkingdom have dropped us an email letting us know that they have Transformers Animated Roll-Out Command Optimus Prime in stock.

You can now find a gallery of the Japanese Convention exclusive Transformers Henkei Crystal Convoy figure, a clear-coloured plastic version of the Transformers Classics Convoy toy.

The figure will also be sold via the e-Hobby Shop website, where Part One Ltd were given a few limited copies of the toy to sell to Japanese customers.

The following was emailed to us by Monty 

Yesterday, I was at my local Wall-Mart and I saw that they had TF Animated wave 2. So I checked it out and I noticed that one of the four Megatrons had Starscream's packaging on it instead! I know that it's not supposed to be a starscream toy because they had 4 of them and they were all fine. So I bought this megatron in hopes that it rare or special or something.

The Movie Blog is currently running a story regarding Sam and a possible storyline for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The story mirrors that of the background story given to Sam's grandfather, so could well prove to be true.

Meanwhile even more set images have appeared online from the Movie, including the Daily Pricetonian Blog here

Hasbro have filed for 1 new Transformers related trademarks with the USPTO. You can view all of the details in our Transformers Trademark area which is updated constantly throughout the day by our dedicated news-bots, but here is the list of all of the new applications:
