Fancey514 here, and I just got back from Botcon. Even though I was only able to make it Saturday, there was quite a bit going on. If you're unaware of Botcon, it's a yearly Transformers convention. Each year it is in a different location, Luckily for me, it hasn't been too far away from where I live the last two years. Last year it was in St. Charles, Illinois, and this year it was in Louisville, Kentucky. The convention ran from April 7th - 10th. This year is the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars, so a lot of the Botcon Exsclusive figures and items were related to that, but it's also the 30th anniversary of the first Transformers movie. You know, the good Transformers movie. There were packages you could get to go to Botcon: The Primus Package, which was $500 and included the Botcon Exclusive Combiner figures and a few other exclusives and gives you admission to all four days, The Minicon Package, which was $240 and is for family members to join the Primus Package members, The Protoform Package, which was $310 and is basically the Primus Package without the exclusives, or, you could be like me and only go to Saturday, which was $25 for general admission. In line to pay for general admission, they were selling a Transformers comic that is first available at Botcon called Dawn of the Predacus, which takes place 300 years before Beast Wars, It will be in stores, but at a later date.
