Professional Firefall Cosplay and Beta Registration at the Event
Laguna Hills, CA June 21, 2012 Red 5 Studios announced today that it will unveil its state-of-the-art Firefall Mobile Gaming Unit (MGU) during this years Anime Expo (AX), at the Los Angeles Convention Center, June 29 July 1, 2012.

Brought to life by the talented team at West Coast Customs, theMGU is a massive 48-foot-long gaming tournament on wheels that features a unique aesthetic design pulled straight out of Firefalls sci-fi world. Planned to tour the country later this year, the MGU is equipped for top-level eSports play with 20 AMD powered gaming stations, Razer peripherals, support for 1,000 person LAN parties, and even a shoutcaster podium with full live streaming support.
Anime Expo is the perfect event for this reveal because Firefalls rich sci-fi universe is something that anime and manga fans are going to really appreciate, said Mark Kern, CEO of Red 5. Theyre the type of gamer that pays extra attention to the lore and story; they enjoy interacting with it outside of the medium. Were delivering that interactivity in a huge way.
Attendees will not only find Red 5s new Mobile Gaming Unit at the event, theyll also meet professional cosplayer, Crystal Graziano, and actor, Lee Hawk Reherman, who will bring Firefalls heroes to life in futuristic hand-crafted Battleframes.
