    Honestly, i don't think i'd even go if i was invited. I just don't particularly like the format they have going for the show.

    Am I getting paid for it? Because I assure you I wrote more than that a day when I worked. 8 hours copying everything someone says on a piece of paper. I did everyday, not just 1 day for a hour. Plus, the 12 years of grade school then 11 years of higher education. All day writing what teachers and professors said. It's completely possible.

    Are there people who can? Sure. Does that mean everyone can? Nope. Some of these people are pushing (or have pushed) 80. They aren't limiting autographs because they are lazy.

    I'm only 36 I could not set there for an hour and sign my name 360 times, and with only "minor" arthritis in my fingers. Not to mention some fans like to talk, some time a bit too much, and there is going to be that guy that need to tell Peter that his dad left him when he was five and growing up Optimus Prime was his role model.

    Optibotimus I will watch his videos first if emgo doesn't figure before him but optibotimus he likes talk a lot and get side track talk off topic that's what puts me off on his videos optibotimus could make video on simple deluxe class figure it be almost 20 minutes long while other reviewers can make same video cover everything about figure in half that time even emgo play funny entertaining skit at of his video still be shorter than optibotimus peaugh is getting his videos shorter not by much but peaugh emgo and optibotimus I am subscribed to all three of them on YouTube


    I'm 36 if I was going I like to meet her as transformers fan of series not for wrong reasons I meet celebrities I know and like and that are part of movie series I like

    I feel bad for you asking innocent question everyone took wrong way I know what that's like


    I feel same way about tfcon first I was there I was glad I went there to my first convention but disappointed after I left tfcon felt like giant garage sale of flea market for those who like it good for them but I will stick with comic con for now on has more to offer for me there meeting celebrities , comics, cosplayers, able sit inside replica of Optimus prime last truck and other verichales costumes people wore in movie and tv shows batman Keaton suite example hate myself missing chance to meet tony Todd but did meet Robert England , Kevin smith

    Is this thing a toy convention or a total cluster____ or epic proportions. Hasbro expects me to pay $100 to take my kid to this thing so they can pay for B rate actors and Flo Rida?

    This doesn\'t seem to be a toy convention it is like the second coming of the Nick Kid\'s Choice Awards. Can I douse Izzy in green slime?

    Egads, this is a poor lineup for TF fans.  Are the \"stars\" relevant to kids?

    As for autographs, I wish there would be a nice to authentic autograph stamps, alongside a photo fe person with the famous person, or some other way to make things easier for the poor buggers signing stuff.  Anything to also speed things up for people waiting in line would also be great.

    Definitely not. Hascon doesn't even want to be a "toy convention."

    What the fuck even is this convention? They are literally getting whoever they can find.

    We've got this "family convention", thats focuses around all of Hasbro's properties, an okay rapper who will perform some not-family friendly songs, Susan Blu, Isabela Moner, and a bunch of random people who really have no reason to be there.

    Is there even going to be anything Transformers related there besides a one-step play corner?
    They only have these people because their desperate to give people a reason to come, as there otherwise is none unless you live nearby.

    Dude, I know you love, love, love the Transformers movies, and that's very cool, but stay cooped up n' comfy in the Motherland for this thing. It's looking to be a hot mess of epic proportions and not too many people are liable to walk away from it happy.

    A veteran voice actress who played in 4 Hasbro/Sunbow shows, plus one who played in the movies aren't sposed to be there? Yeah I definitely agree with the rest being really, really odd choices.

    I thought Frank Welker and Jack Angel were supposed to be joining this little shindig? Or is that some other convention? :confused: 

    I agree only people who are closest have a good chance of going. Hasbro did it cut a little too close for people who live farther out to save and prepare properly.

    I think the athletes might be there to promote Nerf sports equipment.
