Tales of the Trev, Transformatorium

Transformers Beasts Base Camp

3 Comments

With the imminent approach of the new Transformers movie, Rise of the Beasts, promotion and marketing is in full swing!

Yours truly was lucky enough to get invited to help represent the Fandom on the opening night of the Transformers Beasts Base Camp Roar & Snore Experience at Taronga Park Zoo.  Along with a couple of other fans as well as celebrities and media, courtesy of Hasbro we were treated to a truly amazing night!

First off, you knew you were in the right place when there are two big fellas ready to greet you!

Big Angry Trev & Optimus Prime – I smell a spin-off coming!

We were  given a guided tour by the keepers around some of the animal enclosures.  It was interesting to see just how more active many of the animals are at dusk, it was the most animated I’ve ever seen koalas in my life!  The zoo is very cool after opening hours.

They weren’t asleep!

We were subsequently ushered into an auditorium where we were given a special glimpse at some Rise of the Beasts material.  A non-disclosure agreement prevents me discussing what we saw, but fans will be very happy indeed!

Surprises on the way!

After our secret viewing we were treated to some displays of the upcoming Rise of the Beasts action figures, due to hit shelves here in Australia on April 10th.

Sometimes it pays to be a superfan

Next a jaumty stroll to Beasts Base Camp – so cool!  Everywhere you looked there was jungle-themed Transformer touches on show.

Into the main communial area we were ushered.  Plenty of food and drink on offer as we lounged about on Transformers-themed cushions.  Time for Big Angry Trev to go to work and shmooze with the other Aussie celebrities.

As dark approached were escorted to our tents.  Each tent was numbered and had its own Transformers theme.  My tent-mate (Griffin of Ozformers) and I were in Tent 6 – The Mirage Tent.  And talk about the views!

Inside on our beds, we found the very pleasant surprise of gift bags, containing all manner of Transformers merchandise – thanks Hasbro!

Freebies!

After another short tour we were given dinner, a delightful array of different traditional African foods.  Then a special after-dark walk around some of the habitats.

No, not a satanic camel. At night the red light bothers the animals a lot less than white light

Next morning its more tours from the incredibly friendly keepers and then breakfast, followed by some up close and personal interactions with some of the animals.  I must admit I absolutely ADORE giraffes, so getting to hand feed one was definitely a personal highlight and I was almost in tears, feeling so moved by the experience.

The event finished just as the zoo was opening up for the day, and what a fantastic fun experience it was overall!  I’d like to thank Hasbro Australia once again for the opportunity, I can’t wait to bring my son to meet Prime & Primal!  Don’t forget that the toys hit shelves on April 10th, and the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie will hit theatres on June 8th.

“Don’t mess with us – especially the little bloke below me, he’s angry!”
