[Arkvander]

 

After months of work, we have our new customization class ready to go! Hosted by master customizer Encline, this class will teach you how to disassemble, prepare, paint, and customize a Transformer figure! Based on the Generation One character Needlenose, you'll receive all materials, paints and tools necessary for customization, a brand new custom head to create your figure, base body, instructional DVD (in case you don't finish) and even a couple of extras! Everything you need will be provided. There will even be special prizes given out during the class! Limited to just 20 spots; the class will take place from 8am until 4pm on Sunday, August 11th.

 

We have also reserved a larger number of these sets for non-attendees. Prizes will also be randomly inserted into non-attendee kits so you don't miss out on any giveaways!

Ready for some more announcements?

 

First off, we are happy to announce that we will be joined by another IDW artist at the show, none other than Brian Shearer! Brian has been working in the comics industry for several years on books such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Doctor Who as well as other titles. About 10 years ago he co-created his first creator-owned book, GravyBoy, which gave him the experience of creating and publishing a book from the ground up. Brian lives in Greensboro, NC with his wife, son, and a cat who likes to be petted at the most inconvenient times.

 

What's that? Not enough Artists for you yet? Then how about the talented John Wycough! John is an inker, Transformers fan, drummer, awesome cook, and member of Tsunami Studios. He has worked on many titles, (Star Wars, Fear Itself, Chaos War, G.I. Joe, to name a few) along with TRANSFORMERS!! (Last Stand of the Wreckers, TF:Robots in Disguise, TF: More Than Meets the Eye, TF: Infestation2, All Hail Megatron, Movie tie ins) Woot!-Woot! He tends to subconsciously live by the motto of the Wreckers, as he tends to Wreck-n-Rule when no one is looking.

 

Brian and John will hosting our "Learn to Draw Transformers" Panel on Friday Night!

 

But, wait, what? You still need more announcements? Then we are happy to announce to you our final door prize, PPO5W Weapons Specialist and PPO5M Medical Specialist! That's right, both will be given away as a set!

 

Oh and one more thing that I almost forgot to mention. For anyone who missed out on Aftershock, there will be one in our Charity Auction on Saturday night :D The Charity Auction is only open to preregistrants, so make sure you do it soon as preregistration closes this Monday night at midnight. Also if you are planning on booking a hotel room, our special rate also ends Monday at midnight.
