BotCon 2008

Everything you thought you knew will be purple.

BotCon 2008 will be the Official Transformers Convention in 2008, run by Fun Publications. It will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, from April 24 to 27.

Hype for the convention began on the BotCon website on November 27, 2007, when the entire page was replaced by a giant graphic of a mysterious trio of ominous-looking Autobots, a new logo featuring a purple BotCon logo with a matching purple Autobot symbol, and a spooky video clip featuring a backwards Transformers theme. The video clip also claims that "this spring ... at BotCon 2008 ... everything you thought you knew ... will be ... shattered." In light of these elements, it is likely the convention toy set will have a "mirror universe" theme of evil Autobots, and yes this is all true.

On November 28, the page was updated with the location, date, and venue.

On Febuary 29, the "Shattered Glass" set was announced to be sold out, for both Primus and Iacon packages.

BotCon 2008 will be held at the Duke Energy Center.
