OTFCC 2004 was the Official Transformers Collectors Club Convention in 2004, run by 3H Enterprises. It was held in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, July 31 through August 1.
Merchandise
Exclusive merchandise included a Dreamwave Productions "20th Anniversary Mega-Litho" poster, a Palisade Toys 6" Ultra Magnus Statue, and a Devil Due Publishing's GI Joe vs Transformers Volume II Preview Edition. (At least that's what my convention souvenir booklet thing says. Anyone actually see/remember this stuff?)
Convention-exclusive toys
- Universe Megazarak - A purple, light blue, red, and black repaint of Armada Megatron with no electronics and one of the pins in the hinge of the capture-minicons-thing on his leg missing. Nice box, though.
- Universe Sentinel Maximus - A blue and red repaint of Armada Overload.
Comics
The Convention Guide had a five page teaser story, Shell Game, featuring the exclusive toys. Written by Simon Furman, with art by Andrew Froedge, colors by Joe Givens, and letters by Simon Bowland, it was notable for Ultra Trion and his nifty dashing cape.
(Was there a Universe Comic, too?)

The highlight of the weekend was DEATH BY CHOCOLATE. Originally billed as a Transformers-themed murder-mystery dinner complete with Nightbeat art, it became a standard murder-mystery dinner based around a bunch of people named after brands of candy. We had lots of fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils there on the group W bench there; then Bob Budiansky showed up and everybody got lithographs signed by Peter Cullen and Frank Welker.
Panels included:
- G1 Creators Retrospective, with Budiansky, Furman, and Wildman.
- MSTF: The Musical
- Hasbro Development Team
- Dreamwave's Future Plans
- Devil's Due's Future Plans
