There will be a 1st-generation themed Transformers Run & carnival in Sentosa on Jan. 6, 2018

Finally, some attention paid to the non-Michael Bay monstrosities.

After years of frustration from the Michael Bay film franchise, first-generation Transformers fans can now look forward to an entire event devoted to paying tribute to the cartoon alien robots.

The inaugural Transformers run, a five-kilometre circuit based on the nostalgic cartoon will be happening on Palawan Beach, Sentosa on Saturday, Jan. 6, at 4pm. 

Here's a map of the route:

When you sign up, you'll get to pick a side to run for – the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, or the Decepticons, led by Megatron.

Transformers mascots will be stationed along the route for photo-taking opportunities.

Ticket prices, at this point, stand at S$85 per person and S$140/S$136 a pair (team Autobot and team Decepticon respectively).

Here's what you'll get with the race goodie bag:

  • an official Transformers run T- shirt,
  • a water bottle,
  • a wristband,
  • a fancy finisher medal, as well as
  • a voucher and sustenance from partnering brands. 

The merchandise will also come in a Transformers-designed drawstring bag.

Ticket sales will have give-back-to-community portion

And if you need further reason to participate, the organisers, I-PROMO (A Kingsmen Creative Company) and Infinite Possibilities Pte Ltd, will be incorporating a give-back-to-the-community portion for every run event ticket sold. Beneficiaries include social service organisations supported by the Community Chest and vulnerable families in the South West District. 

Additionally, participants with special needs are particularly welcomed to sign up for the race. Para-athletes from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore as well as beneficiaries from various charities working with the event's organisers will be leading the race at flag-off.

Carnival from 12 - 8pm

The race has an associated carnival that will run throughout the afternoon and until evening. 

Besides games and activities, there will also be F&B stalls, Transformers merchandise booths and showcases.

Highlights at the carnival also include NERF game trials, inflatables, balloon sculptures, on-stage contests, and a meet-and-greet session with Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee.
