Man, they went to town on the TLK Decepticons' backstories and whatnot. Boy, it'd be nice if they were, you know, a significant part of the movie.

I was lucky enough to see Peter Cullen and Frank Welker at HasCon that one time.
And at the hotel later, it was fun to walk around with some fan who I just met and see him lose his shit bumping into him in the lobby. Everybody loved the guy so much.

often I think back to Botcon 2004, and how Peter Cullen's panel received such ovation that he was moved to tears, in part because it was recognition for a role that had at the time been so far behind him
feeling so fortunate to have seen him back then, because I also got to see him afterwards

Eight years ago TODAY, I walked into HasCon, saw the announcements for several Prime Wars-era figures, and bumped into Stan Bush on my way out of the first panel.
Such a nice dude!

I was debating opening up my HasCon Magic commemorative set to pop Grimlock in a deck, but after looking at the recent sale prices, I'm inclined to keep him in the box a while longer.

This time seven years ago today I was preparing to get married to @jobot935.bsky.social for the first time. Happy first seventh anniversary to my wonderful Conjunx! (Pictured here looking at the news that Hasbro were releasing a Headmaster Arcee at Hascon - hence the looks on our faces. Probably.)

It’s officially licensed. That’s insane.
2017’s HASCON by Hasbro is easily one of the absolute BEST cons I ever went to. And Hasbro put on that show themselves.

God, yeah. Absolutely don't need or want it, but looked at it and thought "Oh that's a fun idea for a special, niche exclusive." Feels like the sort of thing that, if HasCon still existed, would have been best served as an exclsuive for an "industry inside" kinda show like that.

I dislike all the non wotc ip in magic so much now that I'm kinda glad i never built a Transformers commander deck around the Hascon exclusive Grimlock Dinobot leader or picked up any of the TF cards that came later.

That's the Pepsi Prime that I got as a child in the 80s (my grandmother won it in a raffle from Woolworth's) that I had signed by Peter Cullen with my Frank Welker signed G1 Megatron, got them both signed at the single HasCon a while back. There's a Bumblejumper on the top too.

Can I visit Hasbro during PAX? Can they come to PAX? MAKE HASCON PART OF PAX
With Hasbro announcing a move to Boston’s Seaport District, the city's commercial real estate industry nabbed something that’s become all too rare in this rocky economic landscape: a straight-up win.
In largest lease deal of year, Boston passes GO, collects 700 jobs with Hasbro - The Boston Globe
Hasbro's move to the Seaport is a big win for the beleaguered Boston office market.
