Cybercon Expo has updated their site today with information on their next Pop-Culture convention. Transformers property has been in New York City. On their site, they have details of the show in general, options for pre-registration, dealer information, program ad information, sponsorship, and more.

This includes at least a full set of Binaltech toys, MP Convoy and Ultra Magnus, original artwork, full set of G1 DVD boxsets, various Hard Hero busts and statues and more.
