HASBRO PANEL – DINOBOTS AND HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
An exclusive panel with many of Hasbro’s Transformers team gave fans a closer look at the popular Dinobots with
DINOBOTS: FROM GENERATION TO EXTINCTION. The Hasbro team combined cartoon footage, toys, video games, movie footage, and conceptual art to tell the Dinobot story. Being a fan of mainly G1, it was a great way to see the evolution of the Dinobots from its various incarnations. And we also learn why some names don’t stick around (Slag isn’t a very nice word in the UK apparently). Pop-up commentary by Teletraan 1 was particularly entertaining.
Hasbro took the opportunity to also announce which characters would become a part of the
TRANSFORMERS HALL OF FAME. Arcee and Rodimus (or Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime, etc etc) were inducted, but the team also wanted to introduce a human to the Hall of Fame as well. That honor went to Stan Bush, song writer for many iconic moments in
The Transformers: The Movie.

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION PROPS
Parked outside of the Transformers: The Ride – 3D was the latest version of Optimus Prime in all of his semi-truck glory. While I wish this prop was on permanent display all summer long, the Fan Experience was how you were able to get up close and personal.
A brand new weapon was also on display next to Optimus. What it does or how its used remains to be seen! We’ll find out soon, won’t we?

UNIVERSAL PLAZA
The new area in Universal Studios Hollywood is Universal Plaza and it was where a lot of the Fan Experience took place. There you could take pictures with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, or Megatron (also available on the Lower Lot near the ride), shop for some Transformers merchandise or get a sketch of your favorite Transformer by the IDW Transformers Comic team!

The night capped off with musician Stan Bush live in concert. Mostly playing tracks from his upcoming album, he finally won the night by asking fans for help him out with a few tracks they might know from
The Transformers: The Movie.
