Well guys, updating this great post here you are some of the last activities we had in the last months of 2011:

Transformers Peru at the Otakufest 2011

The Otakufest is by far the most important and massive anime and comic convention here in Peru, as you should imagine we were invited and we had an important participation with displays, an exposition and conversatory about DOTM and the most important the presentation of our member Eddy Mendoza and his simply AWESOME Optimus Prime Cosplay:

Transformers Peru presenting DOTM Suite at the Double Tree-Hilton Hotel

This was maybe our most important official and sponsored presentation. As you could see in previous pictures Hilton hotels here wanted to promote its DOTM room and they asked us to prepare a big presentation for it at the Doulbe Tree Hilton Hotel in Miraflores, Lima, Peru.

We had a great room and had an event of 8 hours, where we had presentations, videos of old and new series, displays and much more! and of course a great video presenting the DOTM suite in the Paracas Hotel where some of our staff members could go and stay for one day! It may be the first and only time in my life I could stay in a hotel like this:

Thanks for your time guys!

 

Thanks a lot for your comment Aernaroth. We have existed since 2003, we have always been working for our local fandom and we have benn constantly growing and improving our experiences.

Last eyars where the ones where we got more people who wanted to work and do bigger things. Our local fandom is ahrd to unite since many people can't believe they could find an active transformes community. Our Facebook page started with 30 members and thanks to the movies and constant work we have got more than 1400 fans right now.

Our realtionship with Hasbro starts formally 3 years ago, first similar to what 3H enterprises did, we needed legal recognition. Since we have no money to even star a company here, we did somethign very smart. Here in peru we registered as a cultural and social asociation, free of economical benefits, so we are legally recognized by Peruvian law.

We always looked for Hasbro's support, but it was hard, our relationship starts to be closer whne the new representatives selected were younger people. They were really nice people. They helps us when they can, with small things like banners or products and we are allowed to show his trademarks in all our events. Sometimes we would like them to be more involved in our events since after all it's free and great promotion for them but we know companies here in Peru have got their own priorities.

Anyway we are always presenting our proyects and events to them.

Here in Peru we are lucky to be able to have regular meetings with our local fans since most of them live in Lima and we meet each other personally most of the time, and it's fun when someone who has been in one of our presentations calls you when you are on the street, sometimes I feel like a star! he he he.

On the other hand, we do have some very talented and well-versed people here, but most of our fans only know a bit about all the rich Transformers History. Most fans here know only G1 or just the movies. Our goal is to help them discover and learn all the rich Transformers Mythology and multiverse.

And of course, our best supporters are our local fans, I am still amazed at the Optimus prime disguise one of our local fasn made. As you cans ee in the pictures is great and big and it ahs got lights and sounds too and of course he can MOVE!
