    The question on everyone's mind:
    Will we see the return of Joe Convoy?

    Cool, but are we going to get any voice actor/actor guests this year that HAVEN'T been to previous Botcons? To be honest, it doesn't really look like FP is taking much advantage of the fact that we're essentially in Hollywood this year... I mean, I'm not expecting Shia or someone that high-profile, but SOMEbody that we couldn't have gotten otherwise...

    Damn. I missed the chance to get his autograph last year due to bad timing at the convention, more rubbing the salt in the wound. :( 

    Other than that, Botcon's got a great guest lineup this year!

    Third year in a row for Mr. Kaye.

    I would like Tom Kenny and Jeff Bennett to attend with him.

    I'd rather have Townsend Coleman.
    Especialy if there was some sort of script reading involving the two.

    I've seen videos of people asking voice actors(mostly Scott McNeil) for voice samples.

    Not sure if Kaye does it.

    Met him and had him sign my MISB TM2 Megs at Botcon 2007. Heck of a nice guy.

    Funny thing, my 3-yo daughter has a "Barbie Rapunzel" DVD that she loves... she was watching it the other day and I heard that unmistakeable voice. Checked the credits and it was him.

    And the best part? He plays an evil purple dragon... in the full-on Megatron voice. Now I don't mind watching Barbie Rapunzel with her. :lol

    Thank goodness! I didn't get a chance to ask him how to break into voice acting last year.

    Though I must continue a BotConissh rant of, "Why didn't they let out word on all of the guests before? Unless they aren't getting a good lead time on thier bookings."

    Totally seals the deal that Mainframe/Rainmaker animated it on top of that. :lolol

    I'm suprised no one mentioned that both the voice of G1 Grimlock (Berger) and the voice of Animated Grimlock (Kaye) will be at the same convention. That just blows my mind.
