Out 16 year history continues with day 13 featuring 2011.  The world was shocked by a magnitude 9 earthquake that devestated parts of Japan.  The Transformers universe saw an increasing threat from the growth in popularity of 3rd Party products, though continued to grow with the release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.  Our website gained a boost from the film due to the name of the site.

Simon Furman Interview @ C.O.N.S.:

This year we managed to invite a special guest to the C.O.N.S. 2011. Simon Furman, the comicartist of IDW, will do us the honour, to visit the C.O.N.S. 2011, in order to get to know his fans in Germany. We are looking forward to meet him and will do our best, to make his stay in Germany as enjoyable as possible. This way, we hope to give you a chance to get to know the awesome writer of IDW. We think that each of you has some question you'd like to ask him. Because of that we will make a live-interview with him on the 24th of July on the C.O.N.S. where we will try to get as much information as possible. Since we are aware of the fact that not everyone of you has the opportunity to attend the convention, we want to give you the chance to ask your questions. So, ask whatever you want to know about Simon Furman and his work. All questions will be collected and than asked to Simon live on the C.O.N.S.. Naturally the answers will be posted in the forum right after the C.O.N.S.

It is possible to get a tattoo live at the C.O.N.S. and of course you can also buy the handmade jewellery made out of stainless steel and silver. We are looking forward to the team and hope that this time everything will work out.

Cosplay Contest at the C.O.N.S.:

We have learned of several users, who will attend the C.O.N.S. in a cosplay. We think that this is great and that we have to reward it. If you like, you can now enter our new cosplay contest. There are no rules apart from that your cosplay should be made up of more than just a T-shirt and pants. So, if you would like to win a small but nice price, you can register for the contest here. The more the better.

Custom Contest @ C.O.N.S. The Prize:

Many of our customers have asked us what could be this years’ first prize of the custom contest. Today we are going to answer this question. It’s a small case from Revell, which contains 12 enamel colors. Paint thinner, brush cleaner and of course brushes. In addition to that there will be a C.O.N.S. exclusive figure of 2010. We hope that the winner will enjoy the prize. Depending on the number of participants, the second and third placed will also get a small prize. It is still possible to register, here!

Paramount supports the C.O.N.S.:

Today it happened!!! Paramount Pictures Germany has sent big boxes to the C.O.N.S. control center, and the content has thrilled us all. Paramount Pictures Germany supports the C.O.N.S. 2011 with two big display stands, which depict Optimus Prime. Apart from that we got two Transformers Dark of the Moon banners. One of which depicts Bumblebee and the other one shows Optimus Prime.

We want to thank Paramount for the support and we are looking forward to present everything at the C.O.N.S. 2011.

Here is a photo of the completed Optimus Prime display stand.
