This is such a great event. Even in 2020 when the show had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, the organisers not only refunded everyone but then put the event on digitally. This says it all really... See more

I've been to TFN three times and also watched their recent big broadcast in lieu of this years event unfortunately having been abandoned due to the Pandemic. Whether online or on person this has been my favourite con event, I've been to many fandom cons for different franchises, and none come close to the community feel or excellent content Tfnation provides. Here's to going in future. Best convention - end of.

We are the Nation......the TFNation.

I don't know if I can do justice to saying what a fantastic convention TFNation is. It is an annual meet up where we robot collecting nerds meet up every year and spend one fantastic weekend surrounded by some of, if not THE greatest people on the planet.

Where else can you have a 1000+ member group of rag tag misfits, outcasts, socially awkward people of various nationalities, beliefs, cultures, genders, non gender, transgender, various sexuality, no sexuality etc... come together in an environment where none of that matters and all are accepted as we are bonded by our love of Transformers. You have so many different personalities showing nothing but love and respect to each other all are welcome and have the best weekend of the year.

Fantastically run by a great, friendly crew and with superb volunteers.

The only con about TFN is that it sadly has to end. If only we could find some sort of time bubble to make the three days feel like a weeks. We are so busy having a great time that the weekend is over before we know it.

Once you attend for the first time you will be hooked and kick yourself for not attending previously.

I have been to the previous two TFNation events in 2016 and 2017, and I shall be there a week today (at time of writing it is the 10th August 2018, and TFNation 2018 is between the 17th and 20th).

Just...Prime

TF Nation is, basically, the best Transformers convention you could ever hope to attend - and heck, just one of the best conventions period. The staff have created an event that is tailored to suit every single kind of fan, from casual to hardcore, and the environment is open, friendly, welcoming, and safe. The panels are unique and interesting, the 'Dealer Room' always has a wide range of goodies on offer, and there's even 'The Forge' - a whole space dedicated towards fandom artists to sell their wares. (That's my fav bit).

The Hilton (location of 2017 and 2018 events) is a lovely hotel a stone's throw from the NEC airport and train stations, and has plenty of facilities nearby. Most attendees tend to congregate in the hotel bar, which is bright and cheerful, whilst the panels take place in various rooms around the hotel - all of which are well suited to the panels' requirements. The whole weekend goes by too fast, but it's the best one of the year for me.

Only attended for the first time in 2017, but excited to go again in 2018 - and every year beyond that. See you all soon!

Fantastic Convention

I absolutely love attending TFNation. It's one of the best highlights of my year and makes all the international traveling well, well worth it!
The location is both smart and convenient. It's very spacious while at the same time providing convention-goers the ease of being able to get to the convention rooms quickly. Not to mention that it's super convenient to be able to drop off a bunch of recent purchases in your room and then get right back to the convention without missing out on anything!
I've been to quite a few conventions, and TFNation has to be one of the most welcoming and comfortable feeling conventions I've been to. Being able to chat with guests, the seating arrangement for the panels, and just the overall friendliness of the staff and volunteers makes attending the convention a delight.
TFNation is an excellent and memorable experience and I highly recommend that one attends if they're a fan of Transformers!

FANTASTIC con, amazing organizers

I haven't missed a TF Nation yet and I don't intend to start. I'm a well-known Transformers writer and archivist, and I've been to more than my share of Transformers conventions. TF Nation is one of the best in terms of organization, content, and especially culture. Nowhere else is there such a great mix of fans & pros interacting, on and off the convention floor. The organizers and volunteers spare no effort to make sure everyone has a great time and is treated with dignity and respect.

If you've never been, change that! And if you have, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Highlight of my summer

Highlight of my summer, every year. If you are looking for a good place for fandom people and convention goers - TFNation is just the right spot. For toy collectors, artists, shippers, newbies or Transformers-vetarans, fans of any kind and any continuity. TFNation is a very creative, open and positive place to be. The crew works hard to live up to their standard and despite being busy bees, they are always approachable and friendly.
You'll find interesting panels and meet artists and guests from all over the world and shopping occasions keep you entertained. Definitely recoomended.

Not to be missed

If you have any love for the Transformers franchise, you owe it to yourself to make the yearly pilgrimage to Birmingham for the UKs biggest and best toy robot themed convention. Mingle with some of the biggest names involved in Transformers, buy some rare or otherwise hard to find merch, expand your knowledge through the many panels, or just enjoy the company of hundreds of kindred spirits. However you spend the weekend, you'll have a blast.

Couldn't recommend enough

I have attended the previous 2 conventions organised by TFNation Ltd, and am eagerly awaiting TFNation 2018.

You can tell how much hard work, sweat and genuine love for the Transformers Community these guys (and gals) have put into the conventions.

Highly recommend attending any event organised by them. you are guaranteed to have a great time
