« Cybertron Con 2024
Date	December 6-December 9, 2024
City	Shanghai, China
Venue	World Creative Expo Show

Cybertron Con 2024 (2024塞伯坦年会) was held at World Creative Expo Show in Shanghai, China on the weekend of December 6 to December 9, 2024. It constituted the triumphant return of Cybertron Con after an eight year hiatus, as well as the first official convention devoted to the Transformers brand full stop since Hasbro's pivot to thinly veiled trade shows more IP agnostic, in-house conventions with HasCon 2017. It is noteworthy for featuring an uncharacteristically heavy presence from TakaraTomy along with the formal unveiling of the Age of the Primes toyline, previously teased with a title drop at Hasbro Pulse Con 2024.
