While we would love to have taken more pictures to show you guys from Wizard World 2003, our primary focus is always Transformers. However, we did snag some pictures of other cool stuff that we saw such as G.I.Joe, Masters of the Universe (MOTU), the Destro chrome bust, the Punisher movie preview area, and several other things that caught our eye. Check out the Wizard World 2003 "Everything Else" Miscellaneous gallery here.

Glen Hallit from OTFCC and the Transformers Collector´s Fan Club (which we forgot to get a picture of) were at their Transformers Universe booth with registrations, the first complete issue of Transformers: Universe #1 (which will be coming out quarterly through the fan club), and the OTFCC 2004 exclusive MEGAZARAK live and in person (Armada Megatron repaint). Back at Hasbro´s Transformers display, we got some more pictures of the Alertnator Smokescreen figure as well as the rest of the Transformers: Armada line-up including the Powerlinx figures, Unicron, and more! Also in this gallery are the current and upcoming Hasbro G1 reissues and Rhino´s BEAST WARS DVD Box set due out August 12th, 2003. Check out the rest of the Transformers pictures that didn´t fit into the other Wizard World 2003 Transformers categories here.

Omega Prime and his other Transformers comrades from the recently released Transformers: Universe line from Hasbro were again on display this weekend. Nothing really new here except for some different photos of the latest and upcoming Transformers: Universe figures which you can check out here. It is noteworthy that the Universe Red Alert figure (repainted RID Prowl) was listed as RATCHET in Hasbro´s Powerpoint presentation today. It is unknown which name this figure should have ... but we´re sticking with the Red Alert name due to the toy´s styling.

Hard Hero´s latest Transformers statues were on display at Comic Statues´ booth at Wizard World 2003.

Also on display were the trio of Insecticon statues (Bombshell, Kickback, and Shrapnel).

Love ´em or hate ´em, the Built-To-Rule (BTR) Transformers were on display again ... this time at Wizard World 2003 in Chicago. The BTR Transformers might look awkward in robot mode, but their vehicle modes are pretty slick. Check out the new pictures of the all-new Transformers BTR figures here.

Hasbro´s very impressive Transformers display was available for viewing again at Wizard World 2003 here in Chicago. On display were the Transformers 2004 line called "ENERGON". While it was essentially the same products that were on display at OTFCC 2 weeks ago, we were able to get pictures this time of the backsides of the Energon figures including their boxes as well as the Transformers Energon story text:

"The quest for Energon - a rare and potent substance the Autobot and Decepticon warriors have battled over for eons - continues on Earth! The Decepticon forces have struck a deal with Unicron: in exchange for new powers and forms, they will supply enough Energon to full reactivate him. Now legions of hyper-powered Decepticons speed toward Earth, intent on controlling its Energon resources at any cost! Only an elite team of Autobots, empowered with the Spark of Combination, can save the planet from total destruction."

Since we missed the OTFCC Hasbro panel 2 weeks ago, we thought we would at least bring you pictures from Hasbo´s Wizard World 2003 panel here in Chicago. No 20th Anniversary Prime, but we do get a sneak peak at ARCEE for next year´s Energon line and the Sideswipe (Dodge Viper) Alternators figure as well as two new upcoming Universe repaints we didn´t know about: King Atlas (Machine Wars Starscream repaint) and Skywarp (Beast Machines Jetstorm repaint). Check out the pictures from Hasbro´s Wizard World 2003 panel here.
