TRANSFORMERS Fan and Collectors Convention Makes First-Ever Stop in Orlando!

On June 25-27, 2010, thousands of TRANSFORMERS fans and collectors from around the world will arrive at Orlando’s Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and Convention Center for the 16th annual “BotCon” – the official TRANSFORMERS convention – hosted by The TRANSFORMERS Collectors’ Club and Hasbro, the creators and owners of the TRANSFORMERS franchise. This year’s convention will feature special guests, including creators and artists from animated series, video games and comic books, as well as the Hasbro TRANSFORMERS brand and design team.

Additionally, after more than 25 years of “MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE” action, Hasbro has established the TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame, with the inaugural class of both “ROBOTS IN DISGUISE” and those influential in creating and building the iconic entertainment brand being inducted during the convention.

First introduced in 1984 by Hasbro and Takara as a toy line, TRANSFORMERS has provided kids with hours of fun with their action figures that convert from robot to vehicles and back again, resulting in a lore that has crossed generations and borders around the world.
