Major US & UK Transformers conventions

Well that would probably work as long as Hasbro doesn't enforce its IP, but there is a Shattered Glass autobot logo on the sample copy.... For Pete's sake I hope it goes smoothly. He has some awesome custom ideas over the years... shame they couldn't tap some of that talent for a new club

Voice Actor Hal Rayle (best known for Snarl, Shrapnel and Pipes), will be at the Canadian TFCon, July 13-15.

IDW artist Nick Roche will be a guest at the UK convention TFNation, 17-19 August.

David Kaye (BW Megatron, Unicron Trilogy Megatron, Animated Optimus) and will be a guest at the Canadian TFCOn in July.

There haven't been too many people who have voiced the character of Megatron over the years, and only a few of those have been a guest at Transformers conventions.
This year, the 2001 Robots In Disguise Megatron voice actor Daniel Riordan will be a guest at the UK fan convention TFNation, in August.
A treat for the UK fans, and anyone keen enough to travel there later this year.

Despite the demise of BotCon, which would feature a lot of first-time guests, we look to be having another first-time Transformers guest at a major fan convention this year with the Gen1 voice actor Stephen Keener appearing at the American TFCon in Chicago this year.
Keener voiced a number of very late season 3 and season 4 characters, so didn't get much screen time or lines, so probably isn't a very familiar name in the fandom (and as such, probably wasn't a priority Voice Actor for major fan conventions like BotCon). His characters were Fortress Maximus, Scorponok, Hungrrr, Hardhead, Scattershot and Mindwipe.

The voice actor for Daniel from the 1986 movie, David Mendenhall, will be a guest at this year's Canadian TFCon, July 13-15.
This year TFCon also have David Kaye and Garry Chalk as guests, which should be a lot of fun for the attendees, as they voiced the two leaders during Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy.

And the UK TFCon has announced having former Hasbro designer Aaron Archer as a guest this year, August 17-19, along with Daniel Riordan (RID 2001 Megatron), DC Douglas (Rescue Bots Chase), and an odd obscure guest, the one who voiced TF2 Sideswipe for just two or three lines (Andre Sugliuzzo).
