known as the Thrall...
…from the Tyrantors,
evil robots who wantto enslave the entire galaxy!
I’m going to bring you the very best

this place has it all...
Life-size models of new Tyrantors...
...amazing
new vehicles...
...including the super-scary
mark III Infiltrator Tyrantors...
...and cool swag!
...crazy cosplayers...
And, best of all,I’ll even be interviewingthe voice of the Liberator himself:Hollywood’s biggest movie star,
