Venue
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, major conventions had to be closed to protect guests and attendees throughout 2020. However, some conventions instead opted to hold virtual events online. Hasbro followed suit with Hasbro PulseCon, which was announced on August 31, 2020.[1] A sneak peek was released on Tuesday, September 22, three days before the event, which promoted a revival of HeroQuest. The convention proper started on Friday, September 25, and ran for two days. PulseCon also provided exclusives to Hasbro Pulse members in the United States and Canada.
Guests
Fall Out Boy, Lights, and Tenacious D also made musical appearances.
Events
PulseCon had a very full and very varied schedule of panels and events all weekend, but we'll keep our focus on the Transformers-related stuff. The complete schedule can be found here.
