BOTCON is back!
BOTCON is back!
Evidently, Karl Hartman and Pete Sinclair have confirmed at TransformersCon that the name "BotCon" has been sold to Fun Publications Inc., which means that BotCon is officially back.
The convention will be held from September 22nd-25th, 2005 at the Embassy Suites in Frisco, Texas, a suburb north of Dallas. Registration begins May 1st.
There will be exclusive toys and everything else.

Yep, and students make up a great portion of the fandom. I hope they don't decide to call it quits if the turnout stinks this year. Decent enough location, though.Originally posted by Sir Auros
Summer cons are better for teachers and college students.
August in Chicago sounds prime to me. Just don't know if I'll have the money or time this year...

Regardless of Botcon being back, I will still be awaiting the official word from Hasbro as to the whereabouts of the official Transformers convention. They have yet to make a statement as to when and where it will be, and have not made any comment as to connecting Botcon to their "Official" convention. Hopefully the official convention will be located in the midwest where the majority of us can attend. Having it in Chicago is great, but last years convention just wasn't that well organized, compared to the previous year when everybody convened at the Hyatt. Last year just seemed like a drag, wiggling your way in between the countless other conventions of gamers, and haunted movie goers. Part of the time I didn't know if I was even in the right line. I really need to find a club down town next time to go to, to escape the boredom.
