For the first time in a few years, Cybertron Con returns to Asia! Yes, good news for Transformers fans and collectors over in Asia as the officially licensed Cybertron Con has updated their website with all sorts of exciting news as they gear up for the 2016 event with just a month left to go. First off, the event is being held in China once again at the Shanghaimart Expo from July 29th to the 31st, so mark your calendars!
Next, they already have a surprising lineup of guests scheduled to attend including Sara Pitre-Doucher, Shogo Hasui, Alex Milne, Hisashi Yuki, and the voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen himself, with still more guests to be announced! In addition to the lineup of guests, there are also going to be displays setup featuring all kinds of Transformers toys from G1 to Titans Return, as well as panels, art displays and contests, a gaming area, a party for guests, panels of course, and a mystery statue said to be life-size. More details on events are also to come.

When will Hasbro give us details on what they are planning for the US show?

This is certainly interesting news for this convention. However I wonder how tight the organizers or Hasbro are going to be for the display and sales of 3P product? I mean……. this is China after all.

Man Sara is gonna be busy next month between doing TFCon, Montreal Comic Con (apparently she's going according to her twitter) and now Cybertron Con.
That's a good guest line up.

Hopefully new stuff will be shown.
I remember for the first (?) one, the entire RTS line was shown.

Has anyone ever been to one of these China based conventions?
Are they easy to attend? Are the prices to meet celebrities reasonable? (Can't find pricing for autographs/photos on their site)
I am considering trying to go up for it as I'd love to meet Peter Cullen and get him to autograph Optimus and Ironhide for me but as I don't speak the language I'm a bit worried how hard it would be to navigate around the convention/crowds/etc. The only easy part would be speaking to Peter if he is accessible.

Will there be any new masterpiece to be revealed?

Pretty cool line up on the special guest list.
