Transforce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[Transforce][1] is the British run Transformers convention. It is run semi annually by long time fan Paul Cannon. Transforce '99 was the first of the shows, this event ran in 'A Place in Space', a comic shop in Croydon. It was attended by 99 people who only paid £1 to gain entry (to cover the show's costs). Considering it's size, the show was impressively put together. The were many dealers, episodes of Beast Wars season 3, (unseen in the UK until then), a display of every type of Optimus Prime toy, displays of original comic artwork, most notably from Target 2006. Exclusives included the Transforce book and Transforce '99 T-shirts.
