Another one of the Rescue Bots cast is joining the team at BotCon - Maurice LaMarche, who plays Chief Charlie Burns.

And FunPub have just released their annual CGI promo for BotCon, this year it is a dance-off between Blaster and Soundwave.

FunPub have announced one more guest, which they say is their last for this year - Glenn Morshower, from the three Transformers Movies.

Not sure what the big deal is, but the people at TFW (a small number of people) are going nuts over him being a guest.


As the deadline for pre-registration draws nearer (June 11th), FunPub have also released updated images of their boxset box, and Strika.

One of the people from FunPub have had to emphasise a couple times now that this year's BotCon toys are a second series of Machine Wars, NOT a homage to Machine Wars. (so expect more roped in characters)

Hehehe.. Soundwave's got my vote!

A press release about Glenn Morshower's attendance.

This brings the total number of special guests attending BotCon to seventeen, making this one of the most star studded BotCon’s ever!

Not really... on both counts (that all 17 guests are special, and that it is the most star-studded ever).

A schedule of events has also been released by FunPub, for attendees to start planning their weekend.
