The TRANSFORMERS Fan Experience will debut at Universal Studios Hollywood as an extension to the official “BotCon” TRANSFORMERS Collectors' Convention, which takes place in Pasadena from Friday, June 20 to Sunday, June 22.

The inaugural TRANSFORMERS Fan Experience will include:

• Props from TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, including the OPTIMUS PRIME movie vehicle from the new film
• Exclusive after-hours access to Universal Studios Hollywood’s award-winning thrill ride, “Transformers: The Ride-3D,” which was created in collaboration with Michael Bay
• Opportunities to pose for photos and converse with popular TRANSFORMERS characters, OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON and BUMBLEBEE who can spontaneously speak with guests
• Performance by EMMY-Award winning musician Stan Bush (best known for his song “The Touch” from the 1986 animated film “TRANSFORMERS: The Movie”)
• Panel discussion and interactive workshops led by Hasbro’s TRANSFORMERS brand team, including new inductions into the TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame
• Commemorative event lanyard and free limited edition memorabilia poster (while supplies last)

“Transformers: The Ride-3D” is Universal Studios Hollywood’s most ambitious ride ever. This technologically advanced, motion-based, flight simulator thrill ride is designed to completely immerse guests in the 3D-HD action-packed world of the TRANSFORMERS brand. The storyline of this exciting theme park ride introduces guests to N.E.S.T., a top-secret, military bunker, where they become AUTOBOT recruits engaged in a daunting mission to save Earth and protect the last remaining ALLSPARK shard from the evil DECEPTICONS.

Featuring pulse-pounding excitement, the award-winning ride propels guests along 2,000 feet of ride track, where they are surrounded by 14 giant screens, many fully enveloping them at heights of 60 feet. To bring this monumental achievement to life, Universal Studios Hollywood collaborated with director Michael Bay, Industrial Light & Magic and Hasbro, Inc.

Guests will also have a chance to interact with MEGATRON and OPTIMUS PRIME, who through progressive voice technology have the ability to speak spontaneously with theme park guests as a dynamic extension of the immersive attraction.
