    And it's Flo Rida! With a concert. Learn how to twerk at this year's premier Hasbro event.
    Couldn't get more "fanmily" friendlier than this. ;) 
    Tickets to the concert event are evidently included with the price of a general admission ticket.
    For those of you who don't know the talent:
    Flo Rida

    Nothing says Hasbro brands convention like this.
    Did he even do any music in the films?

    ...Huh.
    seems random.

    Granted, the only Flo Rida song I know is Right Round, so maybe I'm missing something.

    Either Hasbro has an immense amount of faith in Hascon and sunk a lot of money into getting him to do a concert, or he's desperate for attention. Either way, out of all the people you could get it's still WTF.

    I don't think many nerds are into his music, even if this is targeted to be a "fanmily" event. Though they are hyping up Chewbacca Mom as a guest(shes gets an hour and a half interview WTF?), so I think it's moreso whoever is doing this has no idea whats actually popular.

    Just bring on the damn exclusives, and the ruined toy reveals.

    Bumblebee pissed on a guy, Devastator had balls, and everyone was yelling "Shit" in the Bay films.

    ALSO HASCON ISN'T ALL ABOUT TRANSFORMERS.

    I think he's done a few songs featuring 1980's pop samples. Maybe that's the idea here.

    And even beyond Transformers...what does FloRiDA have to do with ANY of their properties? Does Hasbro realize he's basically "state fair" material at this point?

    And FANmily?

    This is rapidly becoming more and more of a fever dream. I want to see him rapping next to a stack of Play-doh drums.

    True, but how many blowjob innuendos did we get out of the Bay films? Or even the Joe films. BETTER QUESTION; how many blowjob innuendos will we get out of the MLP film?! Hasbro is really trying to cover all of their bases this year.

    Haha trust me, I think we all know Hascon isn't all about Transformers.. Which explains why we still have a dedicated Transformers conven.... oh wait.

    I was too busy tallying the amount of statutory rape jokes in AoE. I'd have to rewatch them all and get back to you...but then I'd have to rewatch them all.

    Oh, so it's all just sour grapes. Well then carry on. Glad to see the morality police suddenly concerned about Transformers family fun image 10 years into Michael Bay's reign over the product. Yeah, that's what this is about.
