I know there are a few people who have been checking my deviantART account to follow me to TFcon Orlando... but I am not going

I never booked a ticket to go this year, which turned out to be a "good" thing because the convention was cancelled a few days ago and President Trump has ordered a flight ban

The convention should have been open next weekend, from Friday 20th March to Sunday 22nd March but the Coronavirus COVID19 has closed it > www.tfcon.com/tfcon-orlando-20…

Some European countries went into the flight ban a few days ago, but that didn't include the UK. The announcement has just been made that the UK and Republic of Ireland will be included from Monday night American time > www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-ca…

Fingers crossed the English TFNation convention won't be affected in August

Unfortunately the time has come... at the end of this month I won't be on this website as an active member any more. I am not going to delete my account, just go into "lurk mode"

Over the Easter weekend I met up with lots of my real-life buddies to enjoy the amazing warm weather... and two people looked at my deviantART Gallery on their mobile phones to see if there were any more Transformers doodles

About three seconds later came a horrible shouting argument. I was ordered, very clearly told, to either delete my account from this website or stop doing drawings for it (meaning don't do requests from random people looking for pr0n).
The man who was going to give me a ride home didn't give me a ride home because he was that mad

I've been told to delete this website before (meaning take myself off it, delete my own account) and stop sending messages to people on here. I didn't want to do that, so I updated my rules Journal about what I can and cannot draw.
That made the disturbed people even more determined to find loopholes to ask for requests

Unfortunately it's a problem on the entire deviantART website, there are thousands and thousands of borderline-obscene images. Yes it is everyone's choice to see adult content, even if that means very graphic content, but I don't want to see it.
Worst of all it's unethical for someone on the "opposite team" to pull me into it

As anyone who lives in the UK will tell you, the hayfever season started early and it has been MERCILESS
Ohbutwait, there is one good thing about it ...

There are drugs called antihistamines that calm down the allergic reaction.
Not even joking there is an official warning on the box about "This medicine may cause vivid or unusual dreams". I've recently been doing battle with Jetlag and Concrud plus Hayfever, so the mixture of MASSIVE DRUGS in my brain caused this to happen

Once upon a time TEH MULL3T swaggered into TFcon and noticed a new seller among the ranks.
All along the back wall, from one corner to the other corner, was a company called WEI JIANG with about 200 feet of tables. These tables were filled with all manner of converting robot action figures, in every possible size and colour you could think of

In the middle, lit by dazzling spotlights, was a set of robots called DEATHMAN TROOPERS. They were majestic, standing about 18 inches tall made entirely out of small plastic building bricks that are fully compatible with other brands of small plastic building bricks. According to their ID cards everyone's alt mode was designed to murder the enemy as slowly and horribly as possible

The leader of DEATHMAN TROOPERS was of course DEATHMAN RUNNER, it was obvious he was the leader because he stood on a raised platform draped in purple velvet. Despite being made entirely from plastic he was completely metal, decked out in a sweet black'n'purple paintjob and tank treads. Both feet had ass-kicking spikes, both hands had vicious claws, and his entire head was a Decepticon logo

I can't speak Chinese so of course the WEI JIANG dudes couldn't speak English.
No problem, as soon as they saw my eyes going weak at the knees one of them came over to formally introduce me to DEATHMAN RUNNER. The human performed a sharp salute before very carefully picking him up from his velvety space. I assumed I would be allowed to play with him but nope ... the WEI JIANG dude plunked those ass-kicking spiked feet upon the puny Earth floor and gave his pointy head a little _CLICK!

You guessed it, the coolest action figure in the multiverse went walking along the floor lit up like a Christmas ornament!!

tl;dr
recently had an epic dream about a 3A scaled POWER-WALKING TARN MADE OF LEGO

Once upon a time it was announced that MPM 08 and MPM 09 would be Megatron and Jazz, but there are several different Bayformers Megatrons to choose from. Some people (including me) wished the Megatron would be the original 2007 design, mainly so we could all do the I WANT TWO line from the movie ...

And thanks to some amazing reverse-timezone magic, Movie Masterpiece Megatron and Jazz have both been shown off at a toy fair in Shanghai!
TFW2005 has a massive countdown / reveal thread, this link starts at page 33 > www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads…

Yes, they do exactly what you think they do!
I have been sat here laughing myself sick for about an hour, Hasbro that is both stone cold and bleeping awesome

Does it count as spoilers for a 12 year old move?

Congratulations to everyone who survived the ticket buying rush, turns out the TFNation website stopped working because their email service provider dropped the banhammer > tfnation.com/blog/2019/Sales%2…

The ticket booking opened at 12noon as promised but the site melted in six minutes!
It was back online about 2pm and the TFNation Staff did their best to issue refunds for duplicate tickets / answer questions / keep everyone updated about what was going on

I was one of the lucky few who bought a ticket in the first few minutes rush, but then had a "Server Error 500" page.
After the TFNation site came back online I got the super-classified hotel booking link and managed to also score a Twin Room so a relative cam also visit me for the convention weekend

There are still tickets available for the convention but sadly many hotel rooms are sold out. The convention has set up a "Find Alternative Accommodation" page here > www.stay22.com/events/gm/GB-PO…

PROTIP FOR NEWCOMERS : You must buy your convention ticket first, when you have done that you will see a link to book the discounted hotel room. I had a "Server Error 500" several thousand times before the hotel link loaded
