BotCon 1996

Good god, I'm ugly.

BotCon 1996 was held on July 12-14, 1996 in Rosemont, Illinois. It was the only convention overseen by Men-In-Black Productions, who inexplicably chose to infuse the convention with a Pulp Fiction theme. There were no guests aside from Hasbro/Kenner representative Anthony Gaud.

The exclusive toy was the Predacon Onyx Primal, whose "bio" continued the unofficial Pulp Fiction association of the event by being a slight rewording of a quote from the film.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, MiB held a "birthday party" featuring a screening of the film on a wide-screen TV and a birthday cake. The sealed VHS copy of The Movie - opened just for the occasion - did not actually work, although MiB were somehow able to quickly acquire another, functional copy.

Unfortunately, that did not alleviate the fact they neglected to produce forks for the cake.
