Happy New Year, TFNationals!
With tickets to TFN:Mini-Con® Manchester going on sale in just a few days, 2024 is set to be an exciting year for TFNationals!
Before we get fully on board the hype (Astro?)train, it's only fitting for us to take a look back on some of the key moments we shared in 2023.
Legends were made. Records were broken. Thirst was transformed into refreshment. We said goodbye to a dear friend, and hello to lots of new faces.
2023 was a rollercoaster year. We're so glad you were a part of it and we can't wait to welcome you back in 2024!

Legend Pass
Our largest convention to date also saw the debut of the incredibly well-received Legend Pass.
All Legend Pass photographs were sent out after a huge effort from our photography team and we've loved seeing your reactions!
(If you've not received yours, please drop us an email and we'll resend to you)
TFN:Mini-Con® Manchester
From our largest TFN ever, to our smallest! The first TFN:Mini-Con® was a complete sell out, as TFNationals arrived in Manchester to have a great time!
Tickets for the sequel event go on sale in a few days - move early to avoid missing out!
CREW EXPANSION
Europe's largest Transformers convention needs a lot of hands, so it was brilliant to welcome new volunteers to our crew!
We were equally thrilled to be able to recognise the efforts of some of our longest-standing volunteers with new roles, responsibilities and of course, new shirts!
ROBOSEN ROBOTICS
We were fortunate enough to welcome Robosen Robotics and their incredible creations to both of our conventions in 2023! Who'd love to see them back again?
Cosplay Highlights
As ever, Saturday night's Pretenders Cosplay Parade was a highlight of the summer convention!
This year our trophies went home with Getaway (Mech Category) and Optimus Prime (Human Category) - and of course, we have to give a special shout out to Starscream!
Jayhan Live Concert
After a surprise live performance during our opening ceremony, Jayhan bookended Saturday with an electric ClubCon set!
The Spacebridge
TFN 2023 marked a big anniversary for trader, The Spacebridge - their 50th Transformers convention appearance!
Congratulations, Paul & Davina!
Triple Takeover
Dave M and Billy had the chance to sit down with Sixo, Maz, Liam and Brad (from Bradford) to discuss convention planning on the Triple Takeover podcast.
Remembering Peter Spellos
The sad news of the loss of our friend, Peter Spellos, was quickly followed by a massive outpouring of love and fond memories, showing just how much he meant to this special community.
Toy-Fu
And of course, 2023 was another record-breaking year for Toy-Fu's charity fundraising heroics!
