All of the guests might have been announced now, and there aren't a lot.
Then again, it could be quality over quantity...

Frank Welker - various voices (he is noted as a VIP guest, so he might not be accessible to people who don't pay for a VIP registration)
Simon Furman - writer
Bob Budiansky - writer
Michael Mcconnohie - voice of Gen1 Tracks & Cosmos
Jeanne Carr - voice of Netflix Blackarachnia
Melodee Spevack - non-Transformers roles (this version of BotCon is emphasising that they are a "all robot convention" so we could see more non-TFs guests)

Exclusives. (note - the website is very slow to be updated, as all four have been revealed on social media, but only two are on their website so far)
Just because they aren't partnered or supported by Hasbro, they still wanted to have toy exclusives... without resorting to unauthorised "3rd party" toys that would prevent Hasbro from having anything to do with them in the future.
So this year they have four toys that are being produced by a toy company called 52 toys, that does convertible cubes (called BeastBox and MegaBox), transforming into animals or licensed characters.
The BotCon people are saying that their exclusive redecos of four of the Megabox/BeastBox toys, homaging Transformers characters... but they aren't obvious. Again, they are probably making sure that they don't do anything obvious to upset Hasbro, because even if it is a non-Transformers mould, if it looks identical to the colours of a Transformers toy with that same beast mode, it wouldn't look good.
The toys - a white alligator (no idea what it homages), a black/purple dragon (again, no idea), an orange tiger (BW Tigatron's prototype colours), white/blue/green kangaroo (homage to Shattered Glass Soundwave).
