Introducing the Transformers Cross Country

In the KB Fan Fiction Community, the K Brothers' Transformers collection will be sent out every beginning of the year for an annual cross country event called the TRANSFORMERS CROSS COUNTRY. The event was held since 2009 and involves every Transformer in the K Brothers' collection racing against each other in an imaginary 7,000 km  track with locations named after random Transformers stuff. You could even try to spot a German restaurant or even a "Krabby Land" (from an episode of Spongebob Squarepants) in the course! Beginning 2016, the course is slightly changed.

The goal of the Transformers Cross Country is to promote health awareness not only to Transformers, but to everyone in the KB Community. Every Transformers Cross Country event has a slogan.

The cross country event has two categories of awards, Autobots and Decepticons. Awards are proposed for the Mini-Cons and Targetmasters, who participated in the events since 2010.

This photo of some Autobots in the 2013 event is one of the most popular photos of the event. In this photo, Arcee (the pink Autobot) was awarded the first place winner in the Autobot category. Also in the picture are Ultra Magnus, Animated Jetfire and Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire.

In the Transformers Cross Country events, the contestants are divided into four houses based on their fan allegiance towards the "Big Four" clubs of the Barclays Premier League: Manchester United; Chelsea; Liverpool and Arsenal. Fans will be surprised when their favorite Transformers may or may not have the same fan allegiance with their favorite club! The idea is inspired by Joel K's school sports day in 2009, when Joshua K pictured the red house and blue house as "Manchester United players" and "Chelsea players" respectively.

In the events, contestants are given racing number plates (think of a Transformer version of a racing bib). The plate's number comprises of the initial of the fan club the Transformer is affiliated to, followed by a number generated based on the faction and the fan club. Beginning with the 2015 format, the plates must have the contestant's name. Custom plates are designed for Star Seekers and Mini-Cons.

The Transformers Cross Country had spawned a host of sporting events by KB's fan fiction community, including the Great KB Race in 2011 which is a marathon that involves every KB fan fiction (including the Transformers) and OC character racing in a modified obstacle course. KB Fan Fiction Productions is looking forward to holding another Great KB Race involving the addition of the newer franchises (Pacific Rim, Frozen, The Good Dinosaur, Sailor Moon, etc.).
