BotCon ‘26 - Chicago, July 10-12

We are officially at @BotCon !!! Come say hi if you’re a fan

If your not here, swing on by! Crazy line out front, but hopefully it’ll subside a bit by the time you make it! See you soon!

The ultimate carnival for Transformers fans, BotCon ’26, has officially begun! Welcome to the YOLOPARK booth to discover your exclusive surprises! Venue: Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center, Chicago (Schaumburg), Illinois Dates: July 10th – July 12th YOLOPARK Booth: #43-44 #YOLOPARK #BotCon

Jose Delbo would be proud of the Marvel Transformers Soundwave based on his mid series run look. Only took 40 years to make this version happen! The BotCon Chicago Custom Class figure has a new head sculpt and we have a packed house of fan customizers making this super amazing figure! New Cassette character Headbanger included as well.

UNICRON POSTERS FOR #Cybertronfalls #Tillallareone fan screening at @BotCon #Transformers #Fanfilm #CGI #Unicron

BotCon is a BIG tent in so many ways, not the least of which being EXCLUSIVES. Available ONLY from Agabyss via X-Transbots, the Hello Abaddon repaint with EXCLUSIVE Megatron bucket head and crown. This edition featuring both the original and the bonus head sculpt will be available for sale starting July 9th at the BotCon store, and then at the Agabyss booth throughout the weekend. You all have asked and wondered for years about these types of exclusives, and we are happy that fans will have access to these extremely limited editions via our partners at Agabyss. More exclusives to be announced shortly. You don’t want to miss BotCon July 10-12 at the Schaumburg Convention Center. See you soon!

@MeuchelArren Do not worry, this year we have ordered paper plates for the pizza party.

@BotCon that homage feels like a bad omen

Transformers Sunbow Season 5 Continued! It is the year 1988. You just finished watching the last of the Transformers "G1" Season 5 recap episodes featuring NEW live-action segments starring Jason Jansen as Tommy Kennedy and Peter Cullen as Powermaster Optimus Prime. Twenty episodes that told the overall story of the Transformers from Season 1 through Season 4. Those recap episodes were it though. No "new" follow up episodes. No appearances from the 1988 toy line... until now! BotCon Unlimited Issue #5 brings you the first two NEW episodes from Transformers Season 5 Continued. The BotCon Annual Comic Magazine will now include a yearly comic anthology that will explore the untold stories from across the multiverse. This years edition will feature Transformers Sunbow Season 5 Episode 24, Transformers Sunbow Season 5 Episode 28, and Transformers RID Battle Protocol featuring the characters from this year's BotCon Exclusive VS set. 1/3

One last note. The cover is a homage to the BotCon Chicago 1996 program cover, which itself was a homage to the poster from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. When you have been around for over 30 years, we figure it is ok to homage ourselves at this point! (Having Sue Blu, the voice of Arcee, at the show this year makes it even that much more perfect!) BotCon Chicago, July 10 - 12 at the Schaumburg Convention Center. Visit our site for all the attending details. 3/3

These 5 page comic stories are supplemental tie-ins to the synopses found on this years BotCon exclusives Ricochet, Avatar Megatron, and Sideburn VS Menasor. Featuring story contributions from former G1 Sunbow writers Michael Charles Hill and Flint Dille and art by Transformers (and Divine Circuits!) artist Robby Musso, you won't want to miss what PJ & J cooked up for you! This LIMITED EDITION Comic Magazine is included with every Premium and Premium Plus attending package. Any extra's will be sold at the BotCon store booth starting on July 9th at the Schaumburg Convention Center. This edition is limited to only 400 copies, so make sure you get there early to secure your copy! 2/3

When Optimus Prime’s ghost sees the Junkions put Ultra Magnus back together.

@HMRC4EVR @zompiggy6 That is correct.

@BotCon @zompiggy6 Are there plans for putting the toy up online after the convention? IF so, I'm guessing this will be based on quantity left tho.
