BotCon Introduces Us To Tornado, the Decepticon Saboteur, and His Facebook Page

In a nice bit of pre-BotCon hype, the organizers of the 20th annual Transformers Convention have introduced us to Tornado, the Decepticon Saboteur, one the characters who will feature in this year’s “Pirates vs. Knights” set.  And they’ve done this not on their own website, but via a new Facebook Page.  By following Tornado, you’ll learn more about this saboteur via status updates as well as links to his personal logs (which are very handily stored as PDFs on Google Drive.  The Big G even gets used by Transformers.  Who knew?)

Tornado also helpfully posted this artwork of himself.

Very nice.  Next, let’s see a selfie on Instagram.

I kid, but I’m really digging this new approach to pre-convention fiction.  This reminds me a lot of the old Apelinq War Journals that were on BotConBeyond.com in the 3H era, written by Rob “Tengu” Gerbracht.  It provided some nice fiction updates every so often, and it helped fans deal with the wait for the convention itself.  I see this doing the same thing, and I applaud Fun Publications for doing something different with their fiction this year.  Kudos, good people.
