| '''The Official Transformers Collectors' Convention''' (also know as '''OTFCC''') was the name used for the official ''Transformers'' [[convention]]s held in [[2003]] and [[2004]], due to the fact that a dispute between [[3H Productions|3H Enterprises]] (at the time consisting solely of [[Glen Hallit]]) and the [[Jon Hartman|Hartman]] [[Karl Hartman|brothers]] (his former partners) had made the name [[BotCon]] unusable.

| ==Exclusive toys==
| |
| Like BotCon, OTFCC featured exclusive that were sold to attendees.
| |
| | |
| OTFCC-exclusive toys include:
| |
| *'''2003'''
| |
| ** '''[[Sunstreaker (G1)|''Universe'' Sunstreaker]]''', a yellow redeco of [[Prowl (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Prowl]]. The toy was available only in limited quantities to those who booked a room in advance at the convention hotel.
| |
| ** '''[[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]''', a red redeco of RID Prowl.
| |
| ** '''[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]]''' and '''[[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]''', two redecos of the [[Side Burn (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Side Burn]] mold with an all-new head sculpt.
| |
| | |
| *'''2004'''
| |
| **'''[[Megazarak (Universe)|''Universe'' Megazarak]]''' - A purple, light blue, red, and black repaint of [[Armada (franchise)|Armada]] [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] with no electronics and one of the pins in the hinge of the capture-mini-cons-thing on his leg missing.
| |
| **'''[[Sentinel Maximus|''Universe'' Sentinel Maximus]]''' - A blue and red repaint of ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]]. This toy was never actually made in time for the show, only to arrive through the mail to pre-registrants months later, sent by [[Hasbro]] after [[3H Productions|3H]]'s collapse. Some who pre-ordered it ended up never receiving this toy at all due to outdated mailing lists.
| |
| **A pair of [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]]'s Energon Spears (as well as Energon Stars) cast in blue ('Alpha') and purple ('Omega') plastic were given away at the Hasbro booth after completing a survey.
| |
| | |
| ===Proposed/Unreleased Exclusives===
| |
| *[[Defensor (OTFCC)|Hot Spot]], a blue redeco of [[Optimus Prime (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime]] as a new Autobot leader modelled after the Generation One character. The toy would have featured a new headsculpt for the robot's larger "[[Defensor (OTFCC)|Defensor]]" mode. This toy was originally solicited for OTFCC 2004, then pushed back for OTFCC 2005. When the license was removed from 3H Productions, this figure was cancelled.
| |
| *Several toys were designed for 3H's OTFCC 2005 proposal, all were to have new headsculpts and some were to have new accessories.
| |
| **[[Megatron (BW)/toys|Megatron]], a red redeco of [[Megatron (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Megatron]] as an upgraded (and resurrected) ''Beast Wars'' Megatron.
| |
| **[[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]], a blue redeco of [[Slugslinger (Energon)|''Energon'' Slugslinger]] as the Generation One character.
| |
| **[[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]], a green redeco of [[Strongarm (Energon)|''Energon'' Strongarm]] as the Generation One character. This toy would have featured new snap on Energon gauntlets.
| |
| **[[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], an orange and green redeco of ''Energon'' Strongarm as the Generation One character. This toy would have featured a new Energon rifle.
