BotCon 2011 Guests (and schedule)

hehe, I guess there's not much business for Stan Bush... he's always at Botcon doesnt he do anything else?

It does sound a bit sad, but according to his twitter page, he's been doing a few concerts in recent months... but yeah, we are (were) probably his biggest fan base. But I think as the numbers of 1986 movie fans thin out at BotCon, so will the demand for his presence there. Which is kinda depressing.

Peter Cullen has been confirmed to be at BotCon this year, but only for a script reading (for TF:Prime). And he's been listed on the schedule as being there for autographs (which I should have noticed when the schedule was released the other day)

The Prime cast members at the script reading will be:
Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Tania Gunadi (Miko), Andy Pessoa (Raf), Kevin Richardson (Bulkhead), Steve Blum (Starscream), Josh Keaton (Jack), and Markie Post (June).
