    As nice as beast wars is, a beast wars set will dampen my enthusiasm significantly. Hopefully the set reveals come thick and fast.

    I think it's a joke

    But... Beast Hunters Knock Out in Sharkticon colours as SG Wheelie... It kinda works.

    Anything SG related im in, though beast wars would be a bit of a stretch. That being said it is proberly their most popular theme, why not run with it? Maybe FunPub is starting to listen to the fans. Wait, wait, wait! Did I just write that?????

    And given the new Beast Wars figures being released and the current TFCC story line it wouldn't be much of a stretch.

    I would love a Heroic Predacon Waspinator, as well as Evil Maximal Rhinox and Rattrap...

    Ooh I wonder how they would write Dinobot... No loyalty, a coward, or a gun for hire and the Maximals just pay him more.

    It's not looking good for BotCon 2014 having some 30th Anniversary Voice Actor guests...

    Since FunPub leave their booking and announcing of guests late, often after they promote and sell the toys of the boxsets, another American convention on that same weekend has already announced several Gen1 Voice Actors, including Peter Cullen (Optimus, Ironhide) Gregg Berger (Grimlock, Long Haul, Outback, Jetfire), Neil Ross (Bonecrusher, Hook, Springer, Slag), Alan Oppenheimer (Warpath, Beachcomber, Seaspray), and Michael Bell (Prowl, Sideswipe, Scrapper, Swoop).
    (if they were all at the one BotCon, it would be one of the best ever for guests... leaving one to wonder why FunPub can never manage a good line up of vintage guests who are clearly still doing the convention circuits)

    And an update on the Hotels, FunPub claim that there are some days still free at the Sheraton (they weren't there when I looked the other day), and they will be announcing another block soon (probably at the Hilton a couple blocks away).
    The three days they claim are still available are Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, so you'd have to be checking out Sunday morning, and check in Thursday (if you are doing any tours or classes on Wed & Thurs, you'd need to stay somewhere else for two nights).
