Events kick off on 2 May with the arrival of RoboThespian. W5 will then team up with the Transformers fans at Opticon on 9 & 10 May to welcome Transformers comic creators Nick Roche and Simon Furman for a weekend of sketching, signing and lecture theatre talks and interactive workshops! Watch out for the life size Optimus Prime bust, a display of toys and collectibles and costumer Brian Campbell who will be patrolling the building in his amazing “Ironhide” costume.

Saturday 23 May will see the arrival of robotic guru Pete Redmond and the Mechatrons crew. Don’t miss Pete’s very special robot creation AL1X who will be wandering the building throughout the day!
