A while back I all-too-presciently reported on Twitter that I had loaded pictures from my phone onto my laptop, so I could make a Botcon post "sometime this year." Well, with my customary promptness, that sometime is now. So here's some pictures!
I got into Pasadena on Friday afternoon, after the early-bird session was done. I found myself a motel room that was a reasonable rate and explored the area. One of my most exciting purchases of the weekend was made in a game shop on the corner near my motel. Katamari Damacy, woooooo!
The next morning, Skywarp and I got breakfast and then headed over to the convention center.
I met up with
dragondancer515 and we compared Skywarps!
COSPLAY PICS!! There were so many good ones, OMG. My favorite was Sergeant Duck's amazing TFP Wheeljack. I got to help her carry it over and spot a bit on Sunday. The workmanship on it was amazing.
Oh no it's meeeeee
Movie Jazz with G1 colors, Ducky's Wheeljack, and Razzie's Evil Santa Sentinel Prime.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Movie-G1 fusion Jazz on his own.
My two secret weaknesses: robots wearing clothes, and Knockout. Also, TFP Barricade looking awesome.
TFP showdown! Kick his butt, Wheeljack!
The pink traitor contemplates doing some back-stabbing... or maybe it will be butt-stabbing.
The fight goes back and forth!
Close up of Barricade's claws, they were cool as heck
BUTTS BUTTS BUTTS
BUTTS
Undoubtedly the most adorable cosplay was the magical-girl MTMTE Tailgate. She was so cute, there are no words.
Wheeljack and Tailgate!
"I CAN'T"
Fighting G1 Elita who is armed with Sentinel Prime's shield!
One of my favorite entries from the art competition. The canvas wasn't supposed to be ripped, but I felt like it added to the piece. Serendipitous!
And that's all the good pictures, I think!
I spent most of the day with Razzie,
dragondancer515,
tainry, and various other people whose names I can't remember, oops. It was a lot of fun, we hung out and did silly things and went to dinner and then I got Razzie and Dragon cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory! It was delicious. I also bought some prints and stuff to send to people. I... might still have a few things to send? >__> I can't quite remember. /forgetful and flaky
The day after Botcon, I went out to the Aquarium of the Pacific and took a whale-watching trip! But that's for another post.
