In 2008, Hasbro UK, for the first time ever, attended the English fan-convention AutoAssembly with an official Hasbro UK display. This booth featured 3 one of a kind handmade resin casts of Transformers Animated toys, and were the prizes for a contest Hasbro UK held via the (now defunct) Hasbro Toy Shop UK. To win them, it was necessary to enter a competition at Hasbro Toy Shop UK. Oh, and you had to be a resident of the UK and at least 18 years of age.
The 'limited Edition' Handmade Samples list
Prize 1
- Optimus Prime - based off the "Supreme Class Roll-Out Command Optimus Prime" mold on a rocky stand and hand painted in shiny colours.
Prize 2
- Bulkhead - based off the "Leader Class Bulkhead" mold on a rocky stand and hand painted in shiny colours.
Prize 3
- Megatron - based off the "Deluxe Class Battle Begins two pack" mold on a rocky stand and hand painted in shiny colours.
Notes
- All three of these hard-copy casts were made by Daniel Sharp.
- This was Hasbro UK's way of celebrating the huge fan-base Transformers had.[1]
- These prizes cannot transform or even move as they are resin statues.
- Apart from the flyers for the contest, these three statues were in fact the only official Hasbro UK-supplied merchandise at the display. All toys were actually bought by the two "official Hasbro representatives" while on holidays in the United States! The two representatives didn't even work for Hasbro, the only connection they had with Hasbro was that one of them has a brother "who used to work for Hasbro doing accounts or something for the Action Man brand." - Geez, Hasbro UK.
