Seibertron have a small round-up of events from
Transformations, the Dutch Transformers convention. Over 200 people turned up (which is half of the most amount of people attending a UK Transformers convention, 1/10 of regular US conventions), although exact figures have not been announced.
Unfortunately it appears that the trend of items being stolen from Transformers Conventions continued, this time with a Transformers Movie Standee and Transformers Movie magnetic sign being taken. How someone was able to walk of with the large items is unclear.

UK Transformers convention
Auto Assembly will not be taking place this year.
That's the sad news from convention organisers Sven Harvey and Simon Plumbe. The event had been doubtful, due to non-convention issues, and yesterday the Auto Assembly team
confirmed that the event would not be
taking place.
With Transforce 2007 also on hold, this leaves the UK without a
Transformers convention for the first time since 1998
(and will be the first time in 5 years that Auto Assembly will not take place).
It's all not bad news though, as the AA team (Infinite Frontiers) have said they are hoping to arrange a general Sci-Fi convention.
Finally, while there won't be an AUTO ASSEMBLY in 2007, there WILL be an event from us here at INFINITE FRONTIERS... we are
currently in the early concept stages of preparing to run a small scale sci-fi and collectors fair here in Birmingham some time in 2007!! It
will be a similar event to those found across the UK with dealers and VERY cheap admission price covering Transformers, comics, sci-fi
merchandise and everything else.. but we'll release more details on this as we have it so watch this space!!

Botcon.com has been updated this evening with the following new regarding hotel rooms which we reported had run out a few days ago.
Response has been tremendous! The Westin has run out of rooms with double beds and the room block is pretty much full. They are still trying to add rooms as they can.
We are now working on an additional block of rooms at an additional hotel.
Hang tight, we are working hard to get a good rate at the additional hotel.
This will be in place next week and we will pass the information along as soon as we have final details. BotCon 2007 is going to be HUGE!
