Auto Assembly 2015

By now everyone has had time to recover from AA2014, including all of us here at Auto Assembly HQ so now we can finally take a look back at this year’s convention and share some of our own thoughts with all of you on what was an epic weekend… Looking back it’s hard to believe that it’s been 30 years since Transformers first burst onto the scene. As an individual, I was never really interested in the franchise as a child, having already entered my teenage years and taking more of an interest in computing and video games by that point and not really becoming interested in TFs until Beast Wars came along. Infact, I’d been active in sci-fi fandom, publishing and event organising for almost a decade before I even willingly wanted to entertain the idea of watching any Transformers shows! Saying that, Transformers has come a long way in that time. From G1 and the early days of the Marvel comics and cartoons up to the live actions movies and CGI shows and Masterpiece toys, none of us expected that we’d be where we are now… and certainly I didn’t either!
