Um...not at the convention itself on Saturday, but I'm sure anyone in town for the Friday Night Gaming may want to hit a local tavern for the finest brew Cheddarland has to offer.

After a year on this site Im finally starting to learn about Botcon. So now I must ask, Why is there a Dairycon ??? What does milking cows and druken whiskey drinkers have to do with Transformers ??? Im all for drinking, but are these people serious ???

Or am I missing something here ???

Yeah, you're missing a whole lot actually.

Botcon is the officially sanctioned Transformers Convention through Fun Publications and the Transformers Collectors Club.

DairyCon is a fan convention that has no ties to Botcon, Fun Publications, or Hasbro. There are several unofficial Transformers Conventions held around the country, as well as the world. Cybcon, TFCon in Toronto, AutoAssembly in the United Kingdom, Ticobot in Central America.

The Dairy in DairyCon is just our way of saying our Convention is in America's Dairyland, aka Wisconsin. Granted, a lot of our exclusives have some Wisconsin humor in their creation, such as Uncle Whiskey Breath, but not all exclusives are so heavily influenced by our regional culture.

For the most part, a lot of the DairyCon exclusives have been spoofs in general to Transformers. We had Ass-09 (or Assinine ) last year and he was a donkey inspired repaint/remold of Battle Unicorn. We had our several repaints of the Spychanger Prowl mold: Flatfoot (The Good Cop), Bailjumper (The Bad Cop), Checkers (the first to turn a cop car into a taxi btw!), and Domino (the Italian Mafia inspired pizza delivery car). Now each one of them may not be a spoof, but the fact that we were able to get 4 unique uses out of repaints is very much a homage to Hasbro, lol. We even had Spot (Hotspot) before any toy was officially made.

In short, DairyCon is a fun little convention in Wisconsin where the organizers still remember the most important part about throwing conventions, and that's to have fun. Not to make tons of money like some other convention organizers.

So if you're in the Midwest and are looking for a fun convention to go to within driving distance, DairyCon is for you!

If you have any other questions about Dairycon, shoot me a PM.

I get it now...all in the name of fun. Thats cool. Thanks for giving me the rundown. Im more into the G1 era but I guess nothings wrong with a little fun. I guess it seemed kind of shocking at first since Im from Miami, Florida. Enjoy !

FB, what's the game on Friday night??

All sorts of games actually. Not gambling like Casino Night at Botcon, but games like Heroscape and other board games with a TF spin on them.

Several games use Robot Heroes and Heroes of Cybertron as the game pieces. Several people bring video game systems and tv's to play stuff on as well. It's a fun time.

Awesome! Any dice-based RPG's? I actually have written 70-80 pages on a Transformers pen and paper RPG. I may have to confiscate an area and bust out my dice and see if someone is interested in a play test...if I get enough of it done in time.

Fender: Great job with the description, you *NAILED* it! I've only recently discovered Dairycon a few years back, but had a *BLAST* when I was able to attend! I'm planning on attending again this year, and have high hopes of seeing Fender & others, getting some cool figures (*Spin the Big Wheel!*), and getting the chance to take part in the activities! I'd *love* to give the games a spin, and First Aid's RPG sounds intriguing!

For those of you interested in knowing, there is no food/beverage in the Dairycon rooms, but there *IS* a bar & a restaraunt just an elevator trip away!
