There’s a party going on for the 30th year of the Transformers arrival. The party is called BotCon 2014 from Friday June 20 to Sunday June 22. You’re invited thanks to Shout! Factory hosting live stream from the event. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory that gives the times for various guests:
Celebrating 30 Years Of Transformers!
Can you believe it’s been three decades since we were first introduced to the Transformers? Since then, we have witnessed many epic battles between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. Here at Shout!, we feel that there’s a lot to celebrate! We’re rolling out the TRANSFORMERS THRILLING THIRTY SALE, running now through July 7. We have incentives including: discounts off of all Transformers titles, free or discounted shipping, a Limited-Edition THRILLING 30 TRANSFORMERS poster gift with purchase (while supplies last) and more!
We will also have a special Live At BotCon online event during BotCon 2014! We’ll be streaming interviews from the Con floor along with clips of panels. Plus we’ll share some of our favorite episodes from the last 30 years. Stay tuned for details.
