On October 24, 2014, the date and location of BotCon 2015 were announced.
On December 31, 2014, the theme for the box set ("Cybertron's Most Wanted") was revealed on the BotCon website.
On January 1, 2015, a preview of the comic strip drawn by Matt Frank was previewed on the website.
On March 26, 2015, BotCon announced that Frank Welker would be attending this year's convention.
On March 31, 2015, BotCon.com was updated with placeholder images, and later a YouTube video unveiled the first exclusive, Packrat.
On April 3, 2015, Pete Sinclair was interviewed by Transformers for Your Listening Pleasure and revealed one of the souvenir sets would come with a blue redeco of Legends Class Chop Shop and that Sue Blu would be a guest.
On April 7, 2015, the second box set exclusive was unveiled: Battletrap.
On April 16, 2015, the third box set exclusive was unveiled: Stepper.
On April 21, 2015, the fourth box set exclusive was unveiled: Megatron.
On April 23, 2015, BotCon announced that John Moschitta would be attending this year's convention.
On April 27, 2015, the fifth box set exclusive was unveiled: Oilmaster.
No one submitted anything for the Transformers Filmfest, so it instead was turned into a retrospective.
The bagged convention sets for 2015 seem to have had particularly lax quality control compared to other recent Botcons, with a higher number of the more complex figures like Packrat and Megatron having duplicate parts (like, say, two left feet or two right shoulders) than in the past. Basically, if it could transform all the way and fit in the bag, it was QC approved.
