Marvel UK were renowned for producing some of the best Transformers comics ever written, thanks to the talents of Simon Furman. One of the most notable stories he produced during the comic's incredible 332 issue run was "Target 2006" which was set immediately after Transformers: The Movie and Auto Assembly 2011 is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of this landmark comic...
As you know, the convention is running from 12th - 14th August 2011 and usually the Friday night is an informal get-together to get everyone in the relaxed mood for the main convention, with videos and one or two other fun activities. However, this year we are having our first ever Friday night guest panel! Taking to the stage will be Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior to talk about their work on Target 2006 in a special discussion hosted by IDW artist/writer Nick Roche who worked on the covers for the IDW re-prints of these monumental books!
It will take place on the Friday evening of the convention but, as always, the Friday evening programme is EXCLUSIVELY for those fans who have purchased a weekend pass for the convention! This is going to be a fascinating insight into a remarkable comic book and is something you won't want to miss!
Finally, we have just released our latest news update video to our official Youtube Channel. It has details and updates on all of competitions taking place over the weekend, information on the charities that we are raising money for this year and a bit of information about Auto Assembly 2012 as well. Check out the video here:-
