TFCon Baltimore 2024 Recap

[@TheDigitalApple]

Unfortunately at the very last possible minute I wasn’t able to visit TFCon Baltimore, but I’m already planning the next one!

[@PawPatrolxTransformers]

I'm Glad you Enjoy your Day

[@Idkjustrandom2746]

So awesome bro, ur such a Humble Guy for donating that Transformer One gift box. I hope I get to meet you sometime in the future. That is so amazing that you got the 86 springer I would definitely would have to get him as well.

[@PatriotPrimeReviews]

Miss you guys already. I can't wait for our next "Get Together".

[@RodimusPrimal]

Con withdrawal is a real.

[@bigtog8188]

Greetings from Toms River. It was great meeting you on Saturday and chatting for a bit. My Frank Welker story from TFCon was Sunday afternoon when I was in the mens bathroom. I was washing my hands and I heard the toilet flush and Frank emerges from the stall. We just exchanged greetings and salutations briefly and I left the con. Greatest Transformers experience of my life!

[@RodimusPrimal]

Had a similar experience at Mega Con in Orlando. I graduated high school in Toms River.

[@andrewgrant2990]

It was so great to see you & your family & briefly chat w/ your dad- you are awesome folks! I made it to your lobby sale, but didn't want to keep you too late on Saturday. (I didn't see you on Sun set up.) Sales were great for me, volunteering was sweet, the people were awesome- which was the best part of the Con!

[@RodimusMinor1987]

I'm glad you had fun my friend

[@brandonandcharlene9527]

So glad you had a great time im hoping to get back to a TF Con in Southern California someday. Yeah,those experiences with friends and guests are awesome. Not always on camera or video, but alive in your memory.

[@fernfernacelli]

It was awesome to meet you (oh, cool! I made the montage at 20:54!)... and the "40 Years of Fandom" panel was *great*. I picked up X-Transbots Ollie (Wheelie) and Badcube Huff (Huffer); once I'd had my sights set on for a bit. Hope to see ya at a future convention - thanks for making the trip up!

[@RazyelKayneReviews]

I took a picture with that little lifeline, so cool. It was absolutely awesome to meet you face to face, you guys made me feel so accepted. Thank you!

[@ObsequioGalanteo]

Joe, it was great to meet you! I had such a great time. Your stories are great and the haul is rad. My main pick ups were two Snarls. When Grimlock gets reissued, my set will be complete, although I have all the other Grimlock versions. Til all are One!

[@UltraMegatronus]

Such a great time, meeting you and others that have the same common Passion of the community. This is what it's about, weekend that for sure it will not be forgotten.

[@ducky1moomoo723]

Hey Rodimus! I saw u and ur dad at the Frank Walker panel, but I didn’t get the chance to say hello. I drove from Jersey for my first TFcon and I loved it! Most of the cons r pretty out of the way for me so it was awesome to come and see what it’s all about. If ur at another TFBaltimore, I’ll def come say hello.

[@anthimospolitis6963]

Hello👋 there Rodimus Primal and I'm glad😊 that you had a great time😊

[@mattmann8422]

Truly the best Transformers event i have ever been to! Nice seeing you all there! Meeting Frank Welker and getting my MP36+ Megatron signed by him and photo together was the highlight of it! Also met Bob Budiansky for the first time and got a poster of the first comic book cover signed by him. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many female fans there. I think there were more women in costumes there than men. It's great to see that in 40 years this Fandom has reached across the gender gap so broadly. I don't remember many girls from my generation being interested in Transformers at all when I was growing up. Maybe I just lived in the wrong area? Who knows. I like how it reaches across different races and ethnicities too, but Transformers has always done that well. People from all different walks of life really do come together for their love of transforming robots, which is probably the best thing about it and what I enjoy most. That's something both religion and politics has failed to do! 😆 🤣 😂 I was saddened to hear Petter Cullen was sick and couldn't make it. I really wanted to meet him too, but at the moment I currently don't have an unopened MP Optimus for him to sign (i used to but had to sell it when times got tough) so this still gives me a chance to get one for next time. So kind of Welker to have us all record a special get well message to him. And glad to hear he's feeling better. Really hope to catch up with him soon too. May the Matrix always light our darkest hour! Til all are one!!! 👍 😊 😃 😀 😄

[@diegos7337]

You had a blast! That convention seems great!

[@jasongoodman3495]

It was really cool to meet you and Balt this was my first convention and I had the time of my life

[@SSRuiz]

21:28 hey it's me! also, best weekend ever; it was great that i finally got to see you and Baltmatrix (and my friends) in person; what a time to be alive and a TF fan

[@wildwizard9687]

I’m so glad I got to meet you and go to this convention It was so much fun definitely one of the greatest trips of my life

[@treyusdawntreader9567]

It was nice to meet you in person briefly.

[@bobsav76]

Cool. Glad you enjoyed it, Sir. 👍 👌

[@thegoodthebadtheawesome]

Glad I finally got to meet you! Stay awesome!

[@GartheKnightReturns]

I keep hearing about Buc-ees as this roadside institution. One of these days I’ll stop at one and see what the hubbub is about. Glad you had a good time at the show. I’m planning my annual pilgrimage to the LA show in 2025. Got my ticket yesterday. Hopefully the airline prices won’t hose me too hard. I sold off a lot of my old TFs earlier this year that’s been sitting in bins for a while now to the guys over at Toy Federation. I haven’t quite worked up the courage to potentially sell my G1 collection. Too much childhood memories with those to let them go just yet. So they remain stored. I’m glad Peter is doing better. I kinda had a feeling he was sick. And Michael Bell is a hoot. I got his autograph a couple years ago at TFCon LA and talked with him about the Legacy of Kain series and he just beamed about it. We older guys are gonna have to prepare ourselves for the coming years when a lot of these guys stop coming to cons and stop being in the fan spotlight. None of us are getting any younger. I’m sure I’ll see over on Side-Scrollers again. Cheers

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I laughed when you mentioned the traffic in DC, it is quite tamed compared to the other cities but I'm glad you were able to make it there

[@linkostrich3256]

Loving the Omega Prime~ Thanks for him and Devastator!

[@holli_jeremy5278]

Happy to hear that Peter’s getting better.

[@zetaTF]

Heck yeah. Happy to hear stories from these conventions. Plus it’s nice to know that bridges were built too. Thats the power of giant robots💪 18:46 is gonna be clipped for sure😂

[@GrimR3xx]

had a great time there and enjoyed your panel. sucks i had to leave early for the welker signing but it was cool seeing you!

[@AkuTenshiiZero]

Had a great time, I was part of that feeding frenzy when you broke the bins out, thanks again for the TM2 Megatron by the way. I wasn't sure if it was you at first because people always look a little different on camera. Added a total of 15 Beast Wars toys to my collection last weekend, and I think I'm gonna go to the Toronto show next year.

[@WillisWheeler]

It was so cool to see u , hope u had a good time in my state , I got the year of the horse MP Prime , the studio bumblebee prime , legacy sound wave , animated prime , silver bolt , cybertron Starscream, rise bumblebee, Titian rumble and laser beak and I got my box gen1. Megatron signed

[@frankiefingerz8047]

I didnt even know tfcon was goin on i went to retrocon in sept that was really good Yes bucees is amazing i went to a huge one in texas 2-3 yrs ago

[@lilsnow4897]

Damn those pictures showed exactly what I thought TF fans looked like

[@chrisvellner3922]

Really enjoyed the slideshow of fans at the end.

[@171QA]

Someday I hope to go to my own TFcon.

[@mikef8846]

I came up from DC for my first con. It was interesting. Surprised as much by what I didn't see as what I did see. I didn't see a titan Nemesis for sale, for example. Buzzworthy Cliffjumper was shockingly expensive everywhere. Finally saw a RotB SS Mirage for the first time.

[@lareh5501]

17:03 probably kinda more like the pro bowl, especially when it was in Hawaii where it truly seemed like an end of the season vacation for them.

[@fanotastic]

Ah Buc-ees a biblically accurate gas station.

[@Raccoon-Formers]

Do you remember me from the Coming Together As A Fandom panel? I asked that what’s your favorite Studio Series figure question.

[@RodimusPrimal]

Yes! If I remember correctly we answered SS86 Optimus Prime

[@Raccoon-Formers]

Yeah 👍

[@Raccoon-Formers]

It was cool meeting you and I’m now subscribed😎

[@Longwsb]

Where can I get the Information for the Toy Drive ? I forgot to grab a flyer while I was at the panel.

[@mecha53107]

A friend of mine went to the Con and supposedly got your customized Siege Ratchet? I was gonna ask if you remembered him?

[@RodimusPrimal]

I believe so!

[@StarScreamsalot]

I really wish j could have gone but time and money are unfortunate factors with conventions

[@RodimusPrimal]

@@StarScreamsalot understandable. Hope you can make it out sometime!

[@okono007]

😂 in Texas… Buc-ee’s is everything.

[@joshuamcmillian16]

Yeah DC traffic sucked for me as well.

[@Charbelo]

This guy can’t live in Orlando- there are tons of targets here with Springer still on the shelf ; actually with a target toy discount. Also the the other ones I got at target with no issue.

[@RodimusPrimal]

I don't live in Orlando. That's over an hour away from where I live.

[@Teletran35]

Sometimes it helps because I also collect the Star Wars Micro fleet.I can save money .Bt still I'm not seeing anything new.That was awesome what you did with that case if ONE figures.Now I don't know most of the other creators you know but to have other comingto you reckognizing you.I'm more a part od the Disney Communuty since I have aq Disney World .LOL The first time I got reckognized by anyone because i'm sometime on friend Tonyas livestreams.I was getting noticed lol I'm considered an content creator but I only run a Facebook group with 22K members.LOL I need to get back into Transformers content.I haven't left I still collect but I nee to be here more then Disney with whats going on thenand maybe one day you will see the return of Wheeljack35
