Part 2 of our Transformers Cybercon Coverage commences as we pick up from where our Robot-clad friends from Cosplay PH as well as CybPH’s very own award winning cosplayers Brawn and Bumblebee left off. Now we go the display area where 20 large cabinets filled with toys and other collectibles are housed for everyone’s viewing pleasure. What a sight to see.

A more expounded Timelines display has been concocted by the members of Cybertron Philippines to fill up 14 cabinets to their full. From the Diaclones to an elaborate Generation 1, a jungle diorama for Beast Wars and Beast Machines, RID, The Unicron Trilogy, and of course the Movie based toys, every fan of every series was more than contented with what they saw. Binaltechs, Alternators, Masterpieces, Classics and other collectibles provided the tail-end of the cabinets with much flare, while busts, statues, convention exclusives including a prop replica of the Matrix of Leadership added more class. Definitely the biggest display that CybPh has done. But that’s just 14 cabinets…

To accompany dislay, a small write-up on each Transformers Series has been summarized along with the leading protagonist and antagonist of that series. A time line from the Generation 1 series up to the movie will give everyone enough knowledge about how the battle between good and evil progressed since the first Generation 1 series in 1984.

A tribute to one of the best Filipino talents was a must in the first ever Transformers Cybercon held in Shangri La. And who else fits the bill better than IDW penciller Don Allan Figueroa. Exclusive interviews as well as a compilation of comic book covers that he made gave the viewers a piece of his talent. A cabinet filled with his work, comic books he penciled, and the toys that were inspired from his designs were placed near the tribute corner. Definitely fit for a Don.

Since the start of the year, CybPh has resurrected our Character of the Month feature to focus on the characters that will come out in the movie. Bumblebee, Starscream and Jazz were the favorites, but of course, Ironhide, Scorponok, Barricade and Ratchet were given ample exposure so fans would have no trouble recognizing these characters on when the movie gets shown here. For the month of June, we allowed Optimus Prime and Megatron to take center stage with an elaborate display of toys as well as write-ups from our talented Writer’s Bloc.

The last three display cabinets were occupied by our friends from the Die Cast Car Collectors of the Philippines, who gave the event, among other things, an elaborate Hummer display as a tribute to Ratchet who is a hummer in the movie.

Another exclusive interview scored by CybPh comes from IDW Publishing’s very own Chris Ryall. This is our second interview with him, and as always, spoilers about new titles, and even the movie came out during this interview. A must read.

Last Part of the Day 1 coverage is in the works. Stay tuned
