Good news for all Transformers fans in the Dairyland region of the USA – we have a couple of important dates for your diaries! That’s right – Dairycon 2016 has been announced, and we can tell you that the dates you need to save for the 2016 Dairycon are Friday April 1st and Saturday April 2nd, 2016!
Dairycon 2016 will be returning to the home of Dairycon, the Retlaw Hotel’s Crystal Ballroom in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Further details and preregistration are set to go online shortly – for now, save those dates!

Gah… the location is some 3.5 miles from the old Retlaw? Bummer. The Retlaw wasn't amazing, but it was at least close to some eateries…
Anyone know of what's nearby, food-wise? The Google map looks like a cluster of hotels and industrial plants! I guess, worse case scenario, I just drive back to the Retlaw area (has to be said before someone "helpfully" suggests it! ).

So hyped beyond belief that Dairycon is only a mere three days away!

Wish I could go, but it's the same weekend I've got something else going on.
I hope all who go have a great time. Maybe next year.

This will be my first Dairycon. I've got myself and my son pre registered.
Can't wait! Unfortunately, due to work, I can only make it Saturday. Sad part is, it's the same distance as going to work…

Less than a month away! I can't wait!

Roadkill looks to be the same sort of slightly oversized and simplified KO used to make Windbreaker last year. Note how the front grill, hood panel and sunroof all appear to be molded into the basic frame rather than being separate pieces like a conventional G1 Gears. Windbreaker's rear-window louvers were similar. Inquiries about Roadkill being oversized got a "technically no" answer from Fred with the clarification "not compared to Windbreaker". Her official bio describes her as "larger than most Dairycons, she is constructed of inferior materials". So make of that what you will.

Looks cheap and awesome. Love how Dairycon stays true to the budget WI cow theme.

Just registered! Cannot believe this will be my first DairyCon. I've lived in WI since 1999!

You're taking the figure too seriously. It also doesn't cost $300 either.

wait, dairycon is about transformer? not dairy product like cheese and milk? what a disappointment..

So I assume the base is an oversize KO again like last year's Windbreaker?

What exactly is dairycon?
