It's too quiet.
I'm waiting for Central News to feature a story about some kid wandering around Birmingham wielding a gun-mode Megatron.

Of course there's no point having a convention by myself, that's not really in the Virtual HubCon (as Ralph named it) spirit! So... Er... well I do plan to write (blog) a bit about the Big Broadcast of 2006. Don't know when but for now here is a Virtual Hubcon exclusive tiny peek at some of Lee Sullivan's original pencils.  I've had an idea for a story too, so maybe later! |

So to keep the TF chat going. Henkei Hound and Ravage are pretty cool aren't they?
My KO Universe Beachcomber suggests that Beachcomber himself is a bit poo. I am dissapoint. Maybe he is better with decent plastic and the correct (non-G2) colours.

I've just put together 4/6ths of a 1 legged shark free Pirranicon. I could complete him dead easy.

Just spent about an hour putting stickers on my new bootleg Grimlock, Snarl, Swoop, Slag and Reflector. Those ones on ioffer are great quality! Always wanted a Reflector.

BANG!I'm currently watching Alfred Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest' on Film4, which is a ridiculously good film that I've seen a number of times and can't get over how good it is. For those who haven't seen it, the premise is that a city businessman (Cary Grant) gets manhandled into a car without warning and taken to a large house whose residents accuse him of being someone he's never heard of and demand that he spill the beans or else. He gets away from them and returns with the police to find everyone looking innocent and denying the whole thing. The man goes to the hotel room of the guy he was accused of being to find that the hotel staff have never seen the guy in person. The man then goes to the owner of the house at his workplace to find it's not the owner he met, and that the house was supposed to be boarded up and unoccupied. The owner then collapses with a knife in his back and our hero is on the run from both the police and the bad guys. That's just the first act. The whole film's nuts, with a mysterious femme fatale, a famous crop-duster chase scene and a final showdown on Mount Rushmore. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out bigtime. "No. No, Mother, I have not been drinking. No. No. These two men, they poured a whole bottle of bourbon into me. No, they didn't give me a chaser." "That's funny, that plane's dustin' crops where there ain't no crops." "Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself 'slightly' killed." Martin

I've seen that film too, Martin. If I'd have known earlier about it I would have recorded it earlier on Sky+.
I was out today with a friend, saw Knight & Day, went to Forbidden Planet and Wagamama.

I've had an idea for a story too, so maybe later! Yeah...this may take a bit longer than I thought. Took the photo's I needed with my phone then remembered I hadn't got around to installing the software on my new laptop. Pages finally put together but I don't have the energy to add in word right now. Will try to finish at some point but don't get too excited - it is a bit underwhelming. |

It's too quiet. I'm waiting for Central News to feature a story about some kid wandering around Birmingham wielding a gun-mode Megatron. I vaguely remember something simular happening before long ago at a TMUK meet involving an attendee and Browning at a train station. Did'nt make the news though. ===KEN |

I hoped to see some AA posts on Twitter or YouTube but so far nothing. Has anyone got any news from Saturday to share? I'm also keen to know whether the flyers for OneShallStand.com made it into the take home packs. Has anybody seen one? I mailed them off with seconds to spare so it'd be nice to know that they got there and got included.

Yes. I started to clean him up then decided to leave it and make some reference to it. But then I didn't so he's just dusty for no reason. Well no in-story reason, in the really world he was stuck atop a cupboard for a very long time. Still compared to the state of some of my other TF's a bit of dust is not too bad. Anyway Page 2. |

So did you all survive whilst the rest of us left this place for greener pastures for the weekend?

Yeah we survived! I think I've gone slightly insane though... But enough of that, here is the conclusion to the unofficial Virtual HubCon comic: Page 6Page 7 |
