Hasbro BANS The Selling Of All Un-Official Art from Convention.

But if you would prefer reading the article here, here is the article copied directly from the website.

Hasbro BANS The Selling Of All Un-Official Art from Convention.
By Jay on Tuesday, April 03, 2012

Word has started circling the Internet today about new restrictions being placed on the selling of Transformers fan art at this years Botcon convention.

Artists that purchased tables at the convention are being told that fan art which may infrige on Hasbro's intellectual property or trademarks can not be sold at the convention.

We went to the Club and asked for clarification, we were told that this was a policy being implemented by Hasbro and would only effect those who have never been contracted by Hasbro and its licensees before.

We were also told this should not effect many people, since most people who have tables and selling art at this convention have worked in some fashion with Hasbro or its licensees.

Botcon is the officially sanctioned Transformers convention by Hasbro.

This is obviously another attempt by Hasbro to try and protect it's intellectual properties from piracy. Last month it was announced that the selling of 3rd party non-sanctioned Transformers toys would also be forbidden at this years convention.

It's understandable for a company to try and protect it's own intellectual properties, however the restrictions on fan art being sold will likely seem a bit extreme to many fans.

~~~~~~

Sadly, it may go to any artist who draws Transformers and does commission drawings of fan art characters. In other words, artists will not be allowed to draw ANY TRANSFORMERS for ANYONE.

~~~~~~

A few days after they announced the fan art ban, they retracked that statement and allowed fan art to be sold and drawn by the artists there. They must have changed their minds when the artists that bought table spaces there started to demand refunds from the show as a sign of disgust to Hasbro to make them retract their ban. Much to the delight of the fans and the artists who remained.

Transformers Knature Knights Title by KawaiiWonder
Transformers Knature Knights RevealHey there, watchers!I just came up with the perfect idea for a Transformers show. A show that answers the long lost question of why Autobots and Decepticons transform into things. A show that introduces robots that turn into mystical creatures, from dragons to griffins! A show called Knature Knights. It takes place in Ancient Cybertron, back when the robots didn't yet have to ability to transform. Before there were Autobots and Decepticons, there were Cybertronian Knights called Technolots, and Dark Magic users called Sorceroids. The story follows a group of In-training Technolots following Sorceroids through a portal that takes them millions of years into the future, and crash landed in a futuristic Earth With a magic spell that turns robots into metal mythical creatures, the Technolots and Sorceroids became the very first Transformers. But there's a catch to this curse: They can't turn back into bot modes unless their bonded with mysterious human kids with Elemental powers. And when they separate, they turn back into Myth mode. That's right. For the very first time, Transformers and Humans fight together as one! When an Elemental human child bonds with their Technolot, they glow and get absorbed by them, triggering the transformation.Here are a list of characters:Technolots: Fantasticon - an inexperienced yet heroic leader of the cadets. He is bonded to Marco and transforms into a Griffin.Stormwing - the stoic and intelligent one. He is bonded to Tori and transforms into a Pegasus.Abominator - the shy and gentle powerhouse. She is bonded to Khalil and transforms into a Yeti.Kitsunova - the youngest and hippest of the group. He is bonded to Faye and transforms into a Kitsune.Sorceroids:Jestroyer - a jester-like leader of the Sorceroids. He transforms into a Dragon.Cerbequake - the destructive muscle head who transforms into a Cerberus.Kelpwave - a narcissistic diva who transforms into a Hippocampus.Electirin - a trigger-happy bot who transforms into a Kirin.And you remember Marco, Tori, Khalil and Faye from the recent deviation.,If Beast Wars can be about Autobots' decendants stuck on Earth's past, Knature Knights can be about Autobots' ancestors stuck on Earth's future. It'll be a great twist to the history of the Transformers franchise.

I regret to inform everyone that people have actually been reposting some of your marvelous art on other sites. So far I've only found one instance but here:

I am just warning you all that they don't credit the artists at all... sorry for the rant.
