Iacon One have annouced that Bob Budiansky will be attending the convention. Below is a press release sent out by them. Thanks to
alt.toys.transformers for the original news
IACON ONE
MORE GUEST UPDATES
First, unfortunately, writer Simon Furman will not be able to attend Iacon
One as planned, due to professional commitments. We wish Simon well and hope
he will join us at a future event. However, in his place we have another
exciting guest to announce...
For immediate release:
April 6, 2006
The Stasis Lock Group proudly announces comic book writer, editor and
illustrator BOB BUDIANSKY as a guest at their inaugural show, Iacon One,
celebrating the phenomenon of The Transformers, on July 7-8, 2006 at the
Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Bob Budiansky turned his childhood fondness for reading comic books into a
20-year career in the comic book industry. During that time, Bob worked at
Marvel Comics as an editor, illustrator, and writer. Although he worked on
such titles as Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider and his own creation,
Sleepwalker, Bob is perhaps best known for the work he did on The
Transformers.
Bob was the editor on the very first Transfomers mini-series in 1984,
followed by scripting most of the next 50-plus issues of the monthly
Transformers comic book. In between, he named and fashioned character
profiles of well over 100 Transformers. He developed story treatments as new
lines of Transformers were introduced and occasionally, Bob penciled a
Transformers comic book cover or two.
Although his involvement with the Transformers ended in 1989, Bob is
somewhat amazed and even more amused that the work he did on the
Transformers so many years ago is still kicking around in one form or
another today.
These days, Bob spends most of his working hours as a graphic designer. And
he still occasionally dabbles as a comic book writer and illustrator.

Brian Savage of the Transformers Collectors Club sent out the following email to all members
"We have found another way to ship some product
to our non-US customers at a lower cost and it has been implemented into
the store. It is called Global Priority Mail. This service does have
some limitations. The shipment must fit into a box that is no more than
36 inches by adding length+girth+height. Also, the order cannot be over
4 lbs.
For example a 1 lb package to the United Kingdom via surface mail is
$24.25 and takes 4-6 weeks.
The same package via airmail is $16.75 and takes 7-10 days.
The same package via Global Priority is $10.50 and takes 4-6 days.
I know, it doesn't seem to make much sense but that's the USPS rates and
delivry standards.
We hope that this lowers some of the foreign shipments costs. It won't
work for all orders as the items are tool large or the order will be 100
heavy. We think it will work for the bulk of your orders.
Make sure you check the store each week at transformersclub.com/shop to
see what the new items in stock an the weekly specials!
Thanks for your support,
Brian"

Becky has dropped by our message board once more to post an update on
her thread about the ransformer Fans Opinions Wanted! Here's he new information
The exact locations are to be confirmed but probably south east (so
sorry London again!) but also midlands which opens it up to a few
others. Once i have exact locations and dates i'll let everyone know,
its good to know that people are interested.
We had thought about that unfortunately the research will be taking
place mid to late April and the Auto Assembly is not until June which
is a shame as that would have been ideal!

Nevermore posted the following on several places such as
The AllSpark and
TFW2005Okay, I refrained from reporting this until I got more details, so...
There appears to be a weird radio program that's going to start today.
Title is "Transformer Kiss", and from what I could gather, the concept
is that a girl kisses a Transformer which gives him special powers?
This was first reported in the Dengeki Hobby Magazine issue that was released two weeks ago, and more details can be found at Autobase Aichi in the news entry from yesterday (April 02).
Usually I wouldn't report this, but the title "Transformer Kiss" raises
the question about a potential connection to the "Kiss Transformer
Convoy x Melissa" listing we got last week.
Speaking of, it appears that last weeks listings, including
"Transformer Atari" and Masterpiece Starscream, currently haven't been
listed by Japanese stores yet.

Thanks to Weelzewezzar for reporting that Wave 2 of the Star Wars: Transformers line (Anakin and Darth Maul) are now out in Tescos and also that Mudflap and Leobreaker are in stock at Toys R Us. Following on from our report of
Evac's release on the 31st March.
Though Transformers are not especially hot items in the UK, Star Wars: Transformers
are, and they are currently the number 1 selling line in the Toymaster member stores.
