Auto Assembly announced the first details for next year's convention, including the date, location, and (subject to commitments) the first guests who may be attending:

Yes, it's on the way... we can now reveal the first official details for Auto Assembly 2010! It will be another weekend convention and this time it will be taking place on Friday 13th - Sunday 15th August 2010 and once again it will be held in the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, on Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham. The main convention will take place on the Saturday and Sunday again but there will be bonus programmes of events on the Friday and Saturday evenings for weekend attendees only.

We already have our first three guests confirmed for the convention - regular Auto Assembly guest and Transformers artist Simon Williams, colourist Liam Shalloo and making a welcome return to Auto Assembly will be top Transformers artist Guido Guidi!

Remember to book early to make sure you get a place and to help finance more guests (remember Voice Actors need to be flown in from America).
