Cybertron Con 2012 from 11-14 March – Epicness on an epic level

By Farhan Gazi

Fans of Hasbro's TRANSFORMERS will have the opportunity to meet up and share their love of giant tranformings robots in disguise. Happening from 11 to 14 March 2012, the Resorts World Sentosa Singapore Transformers Cybertron Con 2012, will be held at Resorts World Sentosa and promises to be a TRANSFORMERS brand extravaganza for fans with plenty of exhibits and activities.

Appearing at the convention will be Hideaki Yoke, one of the lead designers of TRANSFORMERS in Takara Tomy who will be attending a special panel session alongside several other TRANSFORMERS brand experts from Hasbro.

To showcase the history of the brand, Hasbro will present an extensive collection of historical TRANSFORMERS items from throughout the brand's 27 year history via a visually stunning exhibit. The exhibit will take fans through the chronological progression of the TRANSFORMERS brand, beginning with the classic 'Generation 1' era. As fans proceed through, they will be able to view extensive artwork and information about characters and stories from different eras of the brand from 'Beast Wars' to the most recent entertainment blockbuster movie and current 'Transformers Prime' animated series produced by Hasbro Studios.

Other special events and exhibits will include:

• A 22-foot tall OPTIMUS PRIME character statue, one of the largest TRANSFORMERS statues ever;

• TRANSFORMERS drawing classes by top Hasbro artists (at select times);

• Three-dimensional action figure dioramas capturing scenes from popular TRANSFORMERS entertainment including the blockbuster movies;

• National 'Fastest Fingers First' Challenge, testing convention goers' skills at converting TRANSFORMERS action figures from "robot" to "vehicle" modes.

Tickets for the convention are priced at SGD12 (RM29) for a Day Pass and SGD68 (RM163) for a four-day VIP Pass. To complete the TRANSFORMERS experience, a special 3D2N TRANSFORMERS Cybertron Con The Epic Battle Package — comprising hotel accommodation, a pair of one-day passes to Universal Studios Singapore, admission to the TRANSFORMERS Cybertron Con 2012, and the Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium (MEMA) — has also been rolled out.
