Do you like Transformers? How about old-school gaming? Well, if you answered "yes" to both of those, and happen to have several grand in cash lying around in a coffee can, then you're gonna want to check out the latest pinball machine from Stern Pinball: Transformers! No word on if this thing will turn into a robot and trash your house/urinate oil on you or if it's filled with Bay-esque explosions, but it looks like a ton of fun regardless.

While comic books and fantasy characters made up a fair amount of the costumes at this year's Dragon-Con, movies and television also played a huge role. Of course, there tends to be a crossover with comic book-based movies, but the looks are generally so different that it's almost like a different character completely. Here's a look at some of our favorite movie and TV-based costumes from the show!

Judging by our travels here at Dragon-Con, our fellow geeks have been very busy in propagating our species. Kids of all ages are here with their parents this weekend, enjoying the con as much, if not more, than their elders. Of course, it definitely helps that they get to dress up in costume for a few days straight-- like an extended Halloween! Below, you'll find photos featuring some of the cutest geeks you'll ever see, and our future comic artists, movie directors, and world leaders!

Most of us have grown up in an age of terrific animation that will always hold a place in our cold, black hearts. Whether it be anime, adult swim, or nostalgic 80s properties, a lot of fans here in Atlanta are showing off their cartoon-love by dressing up as their favorite characters during this year's Dragon-Con! MTV Geek roamed the hotel hallways, food courts, and bars searching for a variety of great animation-based cosplay and you can see some of our findings-- like that affectionate Skeletor up above.

Welcome back for the final look at the the majesty and wonderment that was Dragon-Con's 10th Anniversary Parade! The costumes this year were varied to say the least; however, we couldn't help but notice properties like ThunderCats weren't very represented. Is there a cosplay conspiracy against Lion-O and the crew? We may never know-- on with the photos!

Dragon-Con has become known for its passionate fans and their love of costuming, and the yearly parade succeeds in letting all that hard work get seen by both con attendees and locals here in Atlanta. The parade began at 10 a.m. and proceeded to work its way through the downtown area to the delight of onlookers. People began staking claim to their spot of the sidewalks at 7 a.m. and we were as well. That's right, we stood around aimlessly for over 3 hours to bring you these pictures. Remember that the next time we need to borrow something!
The parade was so huge this year, that there's no way we could put all of the cool photos in one post, so this is Part 1 of the Dragon-Con Parade!
Stay tuned to MTV Geek! for all your Dragon-Con coverage, including Part 2 of the Dragon-Con Parade!

Ever since the days of Sabotage, we've known in our heart of hearts that the world would be a better place if it included Beastie Boys action figures. well friends, that day has finally arrived, and indeed the world really WILL be better off if you order a set.
Thanks to the recently released video for their latest single Don't Play no Game That I Can't Win, these figures were inspired to look exactly like what we stood staring agape at during the Spike Jonze-directed masterpiece of high-speed chases and Nazi-zombie killin'! Read More...
