BotCon ‘26 - Chicago, July 10-12

What this inspired by our Lady Cliffjumper??? agabyss.com/botcon-2025-yo…

@NeoPrfctcellX This deco was part of the Commemorative Editions pitched in the early 2000’s. Specifically by @archermonster. Not sure if anyone at Hasbro at the time pitched a G2 version.

@BotCon 2002? Didn’t this originate in 1993 when they tried it as part of the original wave of G2 before we got ACTUAL G2 Megatron?

“Safety” Megatron is here! Back in the year 2002, Hasbro had the bold idea to re-release G1 Megatron. Though it might as well have been nearly an eternity since the lax toy laws of 1984, Hasbro still thought there was a chance to bring the Walter P-38 Megatron back to Toys R Us store shelves. Sporting a chrome blue and bright orange accents, the idea was submitted, turned in to a production sample with mock up packaging and… ultimately still rejected! FINALLY, 24 year later, what turned out to be one of the coolest deco’s ever for a G1 toy, is now available for you to grab via our latest Official Yolopark Exclusive - “Decepticon Avatar: Megatron”. Hailing from the original G1 Sunbow cartoon universe “Season 5”, exactly who or what is this new Megatron? The package and the Tech Spec will give you the answer! Then at BotCon ‘26 in Chicago, we will fill in the rest of the story! agabyss.com/botcon-yolopar…

This art made the package for sure!

@freddorime In all fairness, non-transforming Transformer Model kits, plushies, and statues have been all the rage for quite a few years now.

@BotCon Doesn't matter to me because you aren't official hasbro product anymore. At best, its one of these decos on a blokee or a yolopark figure that doesn't Transform.

Let's just say hypothetically tomorrow it is announced that there is an OFFICIAL BotCon Transformers exclusive going up for sale that uses one of these NEVER BEFORE RELEASED deco's. Which unused deco would you most like to see on a modern toy? Safety Megatron Blackout Starscream Universe Menasor G2 Lasercycle Soundwave

Ok, we know dance parties may not be everyone’s vibe, but @EricIdle making a cameo along with Springer and Jon Hamm? (That invite is still open BTW!) - Anyway, when you have better things to do tonight than die!

TBA - OFFICIAL exclusives. MORE guests. NEW events. In the meantime we are sure media will be on site at BotCon in Chicago, though probably not the news channel Kup was thinking about here.

The original 80’s girl boss will be at BotCon this Summer. Meet Sue Blu, voice of Arcee Friday-Sunday. Don’t miss all the action!

Transformers: The Movie 40th anniversary theatrical edition. Earlier this year, @Hasbro announced that for their 40th anniversary “apology tour”, there would be special fan screenings and new bangers related to the 1986 Transformers: The Movie. We are thrilled here at BotCon to reveal the new backing track/theatrical edit for one of the most iconic scenes in cinematic history. Performed by none other than the star of @Transformers 4 & 5, Cade Yeager a.k.a. Marky Mark. We’re sorry @Stan_Bush, but there’s no way you can out boogie this rendition!

Get in the BotCon Boat for a weekend of shenanigans! Did you know that various characters from the 1986 Transformers: The Movie appeared in random comedies from the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s? Check out this hidden cameo from Super Troopers and then stay tuned for more secret movies scenes to be revealed, all leading up to THE 40th celebration of the greatest animated movie ever this summer in Chicago!

For anyone that doesn’t know, this is where the name Breakaway originated from. Yes, really, this is where. You can ask @ptsinclair06 if you don’t believe us on that. m.youtube.com/watch?v=c-3vPx…

Guests at BotCon, Metal Cardbot METAL CARD from @TheAgabyss, more reveals next week (check out the tease). Going to be a crazy 3 plus months. Rock and Roll out time!

Even in 1986, there were various Transformers: The Movie poster designs. Since then, there have been a variety of new iterations for subsequent re-releases of the film. A simple Google search will bring up a wide variety of most of them, old and new. Which is your favorite? (We know ours ha ha!) Meet the STARS of Transformers: The Movie this Summer at BotCon, July 10-12 in Chicago. Our show will feature the voices of Springer (Neil Ross), Arcee (Sue Blu), John Moschitta (Blurr), and Victor Caroli (Story narrator), all available for autographs, photos, and Q&A panels. Stay tuned for MORE guest announcements in the next few weeks! Don’t miss out on the Transformers event of the Summer!

We don’t do April Fools’ Day jokes regarding toys/comics because of that one time we did - 18 years ago! While we still like the actual story that ran for 8 years, the spin off’s, and other related media inspired by Shattered Glass proper, we do think about what could have been. And who knows. Maybe one day there could be a… ? In the meantime, just a little over 3 months until BotCon: Chicago!

Nemesis Prime (Universe) is returning as a Blokees toy?? Yowsa! Not sure who that is? Read his bio from TCC Magazine #6!

Metal Cardbot fans, thank you to each and every one of you for your patience! The early preorders have begun to be processed and shipped. If you placed an order, you can expect it soon!
