When the heck did I go to a Botcon?
« on: June 29, 2005, 08:56:54 AM »

Last night I was looking at the MC groups Botcon Convention Brochure and I noticed that they used last years photo from Disney land. I saw myself and Pete the Greek at the very front on the picture along with a whole lotta other guys.
I know it's the MC group and all but using pictures from G.I.Joe and using it for a Transformers convention seems a bit shady.

So you and Pete will be identified as Trans-fans. People will knock on your door asking for transformers. They'll want to see your collection, they'll ask you about the origin of the matrix of creation....

or maybe this picture won't affect your life at all and I'm just expecting the worst out of nothing. :thumbsup:

here's the chicken to had to my (I must admit it) pointless reply and attempt of a joke. :chicken:

They probably used that pic because it might not have been a big turn out at Botcon. So they tried to hype it up with a pic of one of the biggest line-ups for a toy convention. I noticed that there was a huge turn out in Orlando than from what I see in the pics in Minneasota. Sure, Disney had something to do with it.

I am a TF fan but not big enough to go to a US TF convention.  Stuff like Energon and Armada is where I have no interest in anyways.

Using a GI JOE convention picture for a TF one is lame.

I think the toys are quite nice. I've got 10 from the set. You've just gotta pick and choose. Some are great, some are awful.

I've never seen the cartoon.
