'''Brian Savage''' is the owner of [[Fun Publications]], which has held the license to the name [[BotCon]] and its status as the Official ''Transformers'' Collectors' Convention, along with the license to the Official Transformers Collectors' Club, since 2005. Fun Publications was already the organizer of the official ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' Collectors' Convention and club, which apparently impressed [[Hasbro]] enough for them to offer Fun Publications the Transformers convention and club, as well.

'''Brian Savage''' is the owner of [[Fun Publications]], which held the license to the name [[BotCon]], its status as the Official ''Transformers'' Collectors' Convention, and the license to the Official Transformers Collectors' Club, from 2005 to 2016.
In April 2008, the number of [[BotCon 2008]] toys stolen and for sale on eBay before the convention was beginning to eat significantly into the numbers required to ensure Fun Publications would receive enough toys to cover their needs. A copy of an emailed letter he sent privately to fans in possession of stolen BotCon toys was posted publically by one of the recipients on a Hong Kong newsgroup. He threatened legal action if the product he paid for was not returned to him within two days, so that he could have enough to sell to BotCon attendees. This move was characterized by some fans as a "rampage" and an "unprofessional public display" on the part of Savage... even though it was not made public by him.
