Unofficial conventions

DiceAdmiral:

With ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' being such a popular brand with a well-spread-out fan base, numerous '''unofficial [[convention]]s''' have sprung up over the years, often featuring many guests who worked on official ''Transformers'' projects.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of these conventions in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled or presented online instead of in-person.

{{note|Due to this wiki's policy on unofficial material, we do not have full pages for any of these events.}}
