Saturday at BotCon 2012...

10am - Gen1 Voice Actors (Buster Jones & Dan Gilverzan)
Mostly about their careers over the years, and some stories from when they were recording Transformers with some of the other voice actors.
Buster was very unfamiliar with TFs or his role from 25 years ago, due to all the work he's done over the years (FunPub need to help refresh the memories of these guests, if they want a more rewarding experience for the fans - instead of someone who couldn't even remember who he played (he thought he was Ratchet) or even know how to speak like his Transformers character).
Dan auditioned for Ratchet & Prowl, but got offered Bumblebee instead.
Buster was amazed and impressed at how much attention he was getting from TFs fans. Until late last year, he had no idea about the fandom or the legacy his character (Blaster) has left us.
Dan auditioned for Bumblebee's single line in the 2007 movie, but obviously didn't get it.
The both admired Scatman Crothers (the voice of Jazz) as a great VA and Musician. Apparently Wally Burr (the Voice Director) did Jazz's lines after Scatman died.
They both spoke highly of Wally.
Dan was plugging his new book - Bumblebee & Me - which is stories and memories of his time as an 80s VA.
Buster was one of the lucky few to actually see Orson Wells record his lines, due to his ego demanding that none should be in attendance.

11am - IDW
All their news is in the slide show, and even then, there wasn't too much to talk about... so when I get the photos processed and uploaded, I'll post them up.
The current focus is on three series - MTMTE, RID & Regeneration One.
July is Decepticon Month (each of the three comics has a "Decepticon" theme to it)
August is Dinobot Month (same deal, as all three comics feature the Dinobots... timed with the FOC game I guess, which also has a Dinobot element to it)
Transformers Legacy - a new archive book by Jim Sorenson, covering the official artwork of the toys and packaging throughout Gen1 & Gen2, around the world. It is said to include unreleased items that had artwork done for them. Release date is yet to be announce.
Crossovers - no plans
Hearts of Steel - no plans
More Wreckers - no plans (but see MTMTE #6)
Profiles in the comics like during Gen1 - no plans
Beast Wars/BM - no plans
Animated - no plans
Spotlights - no plans
Movie comics after TF3 - no plans
Deaths Head in RG1 - Can't, but "something else has been borrowed instead" ????
In RG1, dead means DEAD... especially as the story gets closer to the end (#100).
Ratchet/Megatron fusion in G1 - a BIG/pivotal element in the first arc of RG1.
Same with Hot Rod - big character in RG1.
Should be more Arcee and Fembots in the two ongoings, and possibly a less psychotic Arcee.
Digital is the future, but with an increase in their sales this year, printed comics aren't going anywhere for a while yet.

Noon - Animated w/ Derrick Wyatt
This was mostly about probing him with questions as to what Season 4 would have been about.
- Sari would study under Arcee to learn to be a Cybertronian, as well as learn about her origin.
- Prowl would become a mentoring ghost like OB1.
- A flash-forward story about a future with Galvatron Vs Bumblemus Prime.
- More *Masters from Masterson, to create his own team.
- The Seeker clones would become more individual characters with their time away from Starscream.
- Blurr was not planned for a return at all.
- A look at Blitzwing's origin as a Triplechanger, which involved Blackarachnia.
- Metroplex would have been used eventually, just nothing planned yet.
- Devastator would have been completed by the end of Season 4, with Bulkhead forced/trapped as the center.
- Blackarachnia & Wasp set up their own faction, of Predacons or Insecticons.
- A Shattered Glass episode would have Sari & Bulkhead sent over via a faulty spacebridge. Idea was mostly to have the Mirror-verse Fanzone say "This is why I love Machines".
- Soundwave would have had more pets, forming an entire band.

Primus doesn't exist in Animated.
Smokescreen & Bluestreak would have been motorcycles (as a suggestion to FunPub to do future redecos of the Prowl mould).
Swindle was the only Combaticon that was ever drawn up or developed.
Hasbro wouldn't allow them to have Cliffjumper as the traitor in Autoboot camp, so it was turned into Wasp instead.
The "Maximals" in Predacon Rising was just a gag. It wasn't meant to lead into anything BW related.

1pm - Garry Chalk & David Kaye
Mostly just entertaining banter between the two.
DK auditioned for Megatron and Lugnut in Animated, but got Optimus instead. It took a while to get used to being Optimus instead of Megatron.
GC auditioned for BW Megatron, but got Optimus instead.
(SPOILER) DK hinted at being invited to do a cameo role on TFPrime... BW Megatron perhaps?

2pm - Collector Club
3pm - Hasbro

4pm - Peter Cullen
Reflected on his time with BotCon since 95, and his time with Transformers... how much it means to him to be such an inspiration to others and be such a well loved character for so long.

7pm - Hall of Fame Awards
Winning inductee from the fan-vote - Wheeljack.
Also saw a teaser from TFPrime, of Starscream with Zombie Cliffjumper AND Shockwave... with a very Gen1 look, right down to the glowing (red) eye.
