Grab a camcorder and show the world that you're not just a "Transformers" fan – you're a Fanaticon. Three winners will get a trip for two to ILM Studios, the digital masterminds behind Transformers, to watch as they put the finishing touches on the movie.

Maybe you have the entire collection of "Transformers" action figures in a climate-controlled case. Maybe you quote Optimus Prime in everyday conversation. Or maybe you and your friends like to act out scenes from the Transformers cartoons in suits made of aluminum foil and popsicle sticks.

Whatever it is, film it and then submit your video here below starting March 26. The expert judges will review the videos and pick three true Fanaticons on May 14.

It's unlikely that he'd participate. Planes scare the rabbit out of him.

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?

I think that story of him puking out of excitement for a Transformer as a kid is worthy enough of being a top three "Fanaticon".

I know hundreds of people with larger collections than me. I know at least four people with complete US and JP collections.

Yeah, but your Transformers hardcore on a budget.

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?

Submit something anyway. It could end up being amusing.

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?

I'll think about it.

the big problem is that I don't have any Transformers out on display right now. every last one is boxed up, and if I unpack them, I have absolutely no place to put them. In addition to that, the stuff from 1984-1995 isnt even kept at my house.

Maybe I'll do an entry as a joke, have some fun with it. swap parts out on a few figures, put them all alone on a shelf with some broken ones and proclaim that I have a complete US collection. maybe throw a gundam up there too.

Go with it!

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?


I think you should do this seriously. Like film yourself unpacking everything to show them. Plus since you don't have anyplace to put them that would just make the whole thing more impressive.



P.S. I wonder if that guy who changed his name to Optimus Prime could win by just submiting an entry.

I'm gonna.

My mind is racing with absurd ideas.

I can't unpack things I don't have a place for.

In that case, go for the tin, buddy.

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?

Oh yeah sure. Cause why bother ever actually trying to achieve anything. Let's just do crazy stuff that "challenges the norm" and call ourselves geniuses because we filled the swimming pool with Jello and pretended to drown in deliciousness.

Yeah. Let's all do that.

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?

I'd do it seriously if it was possible.

I don't have anywhere to put any transformers on display. I own damn near two thousand of them. filming big boxes stuffed with figures isnt gonna prove anything or impress anyone.

Due to the way I store them, I cannot simply "film myself" unpacking them, because that would require that I have somewhere to put them, and make a trip to Ohio where the vast majority of my collection is stored at a relative's house.

I could clear shelves off, and then display a very incomplete collection. I may end up doing that. I won't be happy about it though. it'd be like showing off half of a lamborghini and expecting people to be impressed.

Cover every square inch of your place with Transformers.

Re: Valk, are you the ultimate Transformers fan?

Some kinda crazy entry is more likely to win than just showing your collection anyway, based on the OP. Just has to be creative and I know Valk can do that.
