Botcon 2015 - Chicago June 18-21

[UltraMarginal]

I think that if I am able to get there this year and attend these things, this could be a good year to be my last.

[UltraMarginal]

but in all seriousness, if I were going my biggest concern would be missing out on a cracker panel to stand in line for an hour or two for a special event/opportunity I'd paid special money for. I could live without a Hasbro panel but I'd hate to miss the script reading if there was one, but then if they did a script reading panel and Mr Welker wasn't involved that would be the end of Fun Pub.

Yes... there MUST be a script reading this year, with the one true Megatron.

(and only Soundwave if they can get a device to digitise his voice, otherwise it would just be a guest appearance by Dr Claw )

The next guest is John Moschitta jnr, the voice of G1 & Animated Blurr

[griffin]

Hehehe... you keep beating me to all the good BotCon news, which is understandable since you are going, so don't stop.

So, the voice of Blurr will be there this year.... now I can die happy.
(it is one voice actor I've been hoping would return after his appearance 15 years ago)

This is a line up we could have had last year, when I was actually attending Botcon! even though I really did have a great time at last years con.

I'm more jealous now.

[griffin]

Yes, and if they get Peter Cullen as well*, it feels like these people are either a year too late (for the 30th Anniversary of Transformers), or a year too early (for the first Movie's 30th anniversary).

Maybe FunPub have already got plans for a Beast Wars theme next year, and were aiming to have mostly BW guests like they did 10 years ago for the 10th anniversary.
(I guess if Hasbro doesn't do much, or anything for the BW anniversary, FunPub probably will.)


So are we still just at two Australians going this year?

Any more on the fence or thinking about it?
There were a few airfare sales last week, so might still be on at the moment.

*It's been three years since Peter Cullen was at a BotCon, so odds are good for him to be there this year as well... and it would make for the perfect pairing.

I'm only able to do it because I'm either on my way home from work or on the way in when they reveal the info on Twitter. As soon as they reveal it, I'm posting it here, which is why I don't always put a link to the source

Last reveal...


Oilmaster... With pretender shell.

Oilmaster is a repainted of Swerve

I'm at work using my phone, so I can't do a picture at the moment, I'll try to do one asap
