I wish they would number the rooms or something. I can't tell the colour coordination. Although they at least have written it beside each event this time, instead of last year where it was purely colour. So that's good.

This, this is cute.
Oh, hey everybody!
Allow me to introduce myself: Im Genericon! But you can call me Genny or Gen!
If you're coming along to TFN2017, we'll be seeing a lot of each other. Sooooo I wanted to step out of the data banks and tell you a little bit about... well, me!
I'm the TFNation communications bot. My job is to keep you all well informed about the convention! You know all those Transmissions TFN sends out... spoilers... they're all from me! Like, literally me... my alt mode is a datapad, dontcha know?
I'll be popping up from time to time during the show to make sure you're all headed in the right direction. Wouldn't wanna stray into a Decepticon trap now, would you? I mean, TFNation is *supposed* to be a respected neutral territory, but some 'Cons just have issues with the rules, know what I mean?
Look out for me on signs, banners, brochures and... oh, hey! Last year I soooorta recorded my experience attending the convention for the first time. It might be useful for any other newbies nervous about their first year, so keep your optics online and I'll transmit that as soon as.
See you at the con!
Genny x

This is adorable and I kiiiinda want it. Kinda. Maybe, we'll see.
Speaking of which, I'm going to TFNation! Hooray! I'll hopefully have some kind of identifying feature so if any fellow Seibertronians are there we can recognize each other/exchange notes/get into vicious brawls over frivolous crap etc.
Seeya guys there!

Copy pasted from the Haul thread:
Went to TFNation today. Man, what a blast. Met Thew, Venus Terzo (who is lovely), Hal Rayle and Simon Furman, saw sights, talked to people and most importantly BOUGHT STUFF!
First up is a Transmetal Waspinator, whose robot mode is kinda meh but oh my goodness that wasp mode.
Next is Transmetal Tarantulas, who is amazing. Love this guy, won't be fiddling with him much though as his chrome is a bit flakey.
And finally (for figures) is an absolute holy grail of mine...
BEAST.
WARS.
RAMPAGE.
This dude. This DUUUUUDE. So cool. I love him to bits.
I won't be fiddling with any of these dudes very much because they're vintage and that chrome is NOT gonna take kindly to fingers, but they'll make gorgeous display pieces.
Also some non-figure hauls (If that's a problem please move, there's only two though)...
Some awesome art including one by our very own HinoMars, and one signed by Hal Rayle!
And finally, the best/worst Transformers thing I have ever bought...
...Arcee boobs mousepad.
So yeah. TFNation was FUN.
