    Another guest announced, from way out left-field... The voice actor for Gen1 Blaster - Buster Jones.

    I'd never heard of him outside of Transformers, and even in Transformers he wasn't a notable name with just the one character, late in the series. But apparently he had a fairly decent resume as a Voice Actor, so it should (hopefully) be an interesting & entertaining panel at the convention.
    Blaster was one of those uniquely memorable voices on Transformers, that didn't sound like it was filtered like Soundwave. I hope he can still do the voice, and is given some likes to re-read.

    Finally, FunPub have given us someone new...

    Apparently Peter Cullen (Voice of Optimus, Optimus and Optimus), is going to be at BotCon, but it wasn't on the BotCon website at the time of posting this. So maybe it was on their facebook page.

    Oh man; if there is a script reading involving Kay, Chalk & Cullen (Plus the bloke who did G1 Blaster who's name escapes me... ) then they had bloody-well better record it and get it out to people!

    Yeah, should've looked for that one...
    In recent news though, it would seem that TFW2005 have confirmed that TF:Animated extraordinaire - Derrick J. Wyatt, will also be attending Botcon 2012; taking part in a retrospective TF:A panel & some autograph signings.
