Auto Assembly have released a few tweets over the last couple of days regarding the 2012 event.

First up was that Lee Bradley will be at the convention as the 10th guest.

The second tweet was the Information Pack for the 2012 convention.

The Auto Assembly website has been updated with the following announcement:

Dealers Tables available for Auto Assembly Europe 2011 and Auto Assembly 2012!

Have you ever wanted to attend a Transformers convention as a dealer but not had the opportunity? Or have you attended in the past but not been for a while? Or are you one our our regular dealers looking to make a return to the convention? Well, we are now accepting bookings for Dealers Tables for Auto Assembly Europe 2011 and Auto Assembly 2012!

Auto Assembly Europe 2011 is taking place on 12th – 13th November 2011 in Uppsala, Sweden in the Clarion Hotel Gillet, and as a special offer this year as the innaugural year of Auto Assembly Europe we are offering dealers tables at the incredible bargain rate of just €50 each! This covers the cost of a single dealers table and it also covers the cost of one of a full weekend pass to the convention! If you are interested in attending, the contact Peter Casselo at bigpete@ntfa.net.

Auto Assembly 2012 is taking place on 3rd – 5th August 2012 and will be held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, in Birmingham, England. We have slashed the prices of dealers tables for 2012 and they are just £100 and include up to two members of staff per table. Each staff pass gives you full access to the convention weekend, the same as any attendee, and all dealers also get our full goodie bag which will include the convention magazine, comic and much more. This is a great bargain to get dealer access and tickets to Europe’s largest Transformers convention! For more details on dealers tables, get in touch with us at contact@autoassembly.org.uk

Simon Plumbe has updated the Auto Assembly website with the announce of what has tentatively been dubbed as the "W.A.G Pass".  This pass allows you to get a discounted ticket for your significant other into Auto Assembly 2012.

"What we are going to be adding shortly is a cut-down pass intended for partners. This will still give you full access to the convention including all parts of the programme for the weekend, but it will not get you one of the Auto Assembly 2012 goodie bags or entry into any of our pre-convention prize draws. Our 2012 Goodie Bag is going to be our best ever and will include a copy of Issue 13 of The Cybertronian Times, an IDW exclusive comic, an original Auto Assembly comic, at least four convention exclusive postcards and many more gifts so there are a lot of great items that will not be included which – in previous years – would have had a selling price in excess of £10." Simon explains before going on to state that  "This new cut-down pass will only be available in limited quantities and MUST be purchased at the same time as a normal adult weekend pass or as an add-on to an existing adult ticket. They are only valid for the full weekend and are likely to be priced at £37.50 each, saving £7.50. Combining this with our fantastic room rate of £60 per night for a double room at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, what better way to introduce your partner to the wonders of Auto Assembly".

Our thanks go to Matt Marshall for pointing us to DeviantArt where he has uploaded a fanzine that was available at Auto Assembly called "The 'Best' of Transformers Comic-Magazin" which showcases some previously ignored German Generation One comic stories.  Here's Matt's description.  "The 'Best' of Transformers Comic-Magazin'. This showcases translated G1 stories from a German Transformers comic which was published from the later 80s to the early 90s. These are all official Transformers stories in their own strange G1 continuity, but have remained forgotten until now.
