http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/gregg-berger-announced-as-guest-at-slag-a-con-2010-170151/ and www.slagacon.com

so two quick posts from tfw2005 to talk about here. First up, the SDCC 2010 news. TFW posted earlier that the exlcusives for SDCC 2010are Mighty Muggs prowl and Speacial Edition/commemorative (a.k.a "we made soundwave a SDCC exclusive last year, so why nto make his rival the same") Autobot blaster. this is a re-issue of the g1 toy wiht some changes i'm sure and three of his cassetticons. I want Blaster so bad. Anywya, today, it was announced tat there's gonna be major character and exclusive footage from TF:Prime shown at SDCC later this month. I'm so looking forward to the footage. i give it maybe a week before it leaks. if its not legit posted to begin with.

secondly, a new Transfromers convention has surfaced, and has its first guest, Gregg Berger, voice fo g1 grimlock. The convention is named Slag-a-con and will happen on Saturday, October 9th in Chesterfield, Indiana. I'm very intrigued by Slag-a-con because of Gregg Berger and that the convention is in INdiana. Chesterfield is only about an hour away from my college, but there's two snafus: 1) finances with collecting and botcon 2) the day its on, october 9th, is the weekend before an ideal weekend for me, and i dont know if that weekend works wiht my academic courseload to travel 2 hours to get a figure or 2 and some signatures.

So i like the concept, but i dont think it works, plus i think itd be a bit nervewracking showing up to convention in a town i dont know where i dont know a soul. granted that's kind of what botcon 2011 will be like, but i know the LA slightly more than middle indiana. That, and school takes priority over a convienent convention, as does btocon finances.
