Botcon 2007 Part 3: Art Contest...

Unicron.com report from
BOTCON 2007,
Art Contest and Awards Dinner

part 1, part 2, part 3, part4

What can we say about the art contest? Besides the fact that as usual, we loved it, we can point out some of the highlights. Among the pencil and ink art, I particularly liked a picture drawn of G1 Megatron versus 2007 movie Megatron, a Fortress Maximus scene with guests including Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Superion and Defensor and a chalk drawing of Depth Charge and Rampage. Very cool stuff!

Among dioramas, I really enjoyed a complete Junkion display including Wreck-Gar, and other Junkion planet inhabitants made from motorcycle Transformers of various generations. I thought it was a very impressive display.

Among the more humorous works I've seen, was the Ghost of Starscream versus Mirage model.

Other custom-made figure displays included some very interesting models of Primus, Wheelie and Cyclonus based on their movie likeness. (How did they do that!?!?!)

As well as a 6+ foot Bruticus model, I particularly enjoyed the 1st prize winner, a twisted amalgam of Megatron and Ratchet based on the events of G1 comic #70.

Of course, no amount of pictures can do justice to provide you with an adequate picture of what the awards dinner and Stan Bush concert were like. One of those, "you had to be there" sorts of things! We had a blast. below are a few shots from those events.
