THE MAN BEHIND THE -ATION!  https://tfnation.com/blog/2019/The%20Man%20Behind%20the%20-Ation TFNation 2019 has a bit of a big name to announce, hailing from Taiwan and the artistic world of the Transformers, and another UK first appearance: Transformers comics and packaging artist E.J. Su!

Anyone who had been following the IDW comics prior to the current reboot will remember Su's work on the very first issues of Infiltration, through Escalation, Devastation, Revelation, a handful of Spotlights, via All Hail Megatron - reaching all the way to Phase 2's The Transformers and Lost Light for a final couple of pages before the universe ended. Currently an industrial designer, his work can also be seen on some of the covers for The Transformers: The IDW Collection. Outside of the Transformers universe, Su is credited with the co-creation alongside Robert Kirkman, of Tech Jacket for Image Comics, and was the main artist for three issues of the Devil's Due Press G.I. Joe vs The Transformers II short series.

If comics are not your thing, however, you may still recognise his art from some of the biggest hitters in the Transformers: Armada toyline: from Optimus Prime to Hot Shot, from Megatron to High Wire, most of the major players in the series' line-up were in his capable hands - and probably part of the reason for purchasing the toys themselves!

E.J. Su will be attending the convention all weekend, talking about his experience with the birth of a narrative universe and art skills, and hopefully creating new art too! We look forward to welcoming him and all of you to TFNation 2019. Stay tuned for more updates!

Outside of Transformers media, he is most famous for anime dubs such as: Dragon Ball Z (as the Saiyan prince Vegeta); Death Note (death god Ryuk), several Mobile Suit Gundam series characters; Black Lagoon (as Benny); and many others beyond. In Western animation, his voice can be found in several Lego media franchises like Bionicle, Ninjago, Nexo Nights and Star Wars; alongside Barbie, Bratz, My Little Pony, Hot Wheels, Littlest Pet Shop, and The Little Prince, to name a few.

Brian Drummond will be attending the convention all weekend, talking about his work in the voice acting industry, making pop-culture references (in and out of character), and chatting to fans. We look forward to welcoming him and all of you to TFNation 2019. Stay tuned for more updates!

We’re back!

Conventions are brilliant places to meet new friends, but the wait between them can be painful. Why wait until 2019, when you can meet new friends all year round?

Enter, TFNation: The Gathering. A new selection of social meetups which we will be rolling out over the coming year. Paying homage to the fandom's rich history of social get-togethers, these Gatherings will be free to attend events, where friends new and old can meet and socialise. They are a great way to bridge the gap between conventions, but also act as a first step for those wanting to meet like-minded fans before taking their first convention plunge!

Our first Gathering will take place on Saturday 6th October 2018, in London, England. Our base of operations will be the Penderel's Oak Weatherspoon in the Holborn area. You'll be sure to see us upon entering, but if in any doubt, just ask staff to direct you to the area reserved for the TFNation group.

If London is a little too far for you to travel, please feel free to send us your recommended locations for future Gatherings!
