\"\"<\/a>RetCon 2018<\/strong> took place on 2 June 2018, once again at the hotel Good Morning+ Helsingborg<\/em> in Helsingborg. The convention set a new attendance record for Nordic Transformers conventions again, with 126 attendees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The attendees were welcomed into the convention hall through an unusal entryway \u2013 our amazing builders had created a tunnel tunnel that looked like the inside of the Ark, interactive with lights, button triggered sounds, and several monitors playing video clips.
\nOur builders had also created a large model of Laserbeak that watched over the convention and the attendees.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had three celebrity guests this year: James Roberts<\/strong> (Last Stand of the Wreckers<\/em>, More Than Meets The Eye<\/em>, and Lost Light<\/em>), Nick Roche<\/strong> (Spotlight: Kup<\/em>, Last Stand of the Wreckers<\/em>, and Sins of the Wreckers<\/em>, and Eric Holmes<\/strong> (Megatron: Origin)<\/em>.
\nA fourth guest\/seller was the publisher Ades Media<\/a>, who released the first Swedish-translated Transformers comic in 15 years at the convention \u2013 the 300-page hardcover Wreckers Sista Strid<\/em>, containing material by Roberts and Roche. Attendees who had pre-ordered the book or bought it at the convention could get it signed by the two creators.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, the convention also featured six vendors, quizzes and competitions, activities, an exclusive comic, panels, a hang-out, and much more.<\/p>\n

We also continued our mission to give the Nordic fans something exclusive figure-wise for each RetCon \u2013 this time we offered our attendees the \u201cSwedish Set\u201d from BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts!) called The Kuma<\/em>. This set was limited to 40 sets.<\/p>\n

You can see more than 300 photos from the convention in our photographer Dennis Elisson\u2019s gallery on Flickr<\/a>, and a 29\u00bd-minute video with images, personal impressions, and some short interviews with celebrity guests and convention personel, by Svamlarna on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n
