Notes

• No one submitted anything for the Transformers Filmfest, so it instead was turned into a retrospective.
• The bagged convention sets for 2015 seem to have had particularly lax quality control compared to other recent Botcons, with a higher number of the more complex figures like Packrat and Megatron having duplicate parts (like, say, two left feet or two right shoulders) than in the past. Basically, if it could transform all the way and fit in the bag, it was QC approved.
