Charticon Announces David Sobolov as Guest!

I really hope I can make this

Woah, badass! If I can help out with anything, lmk

Too cool! A local con! With this and TFCon, I get to go to two cons in a row. =)

Finally! I'll be able to go to my first TF convention!

Glad to see this is going to happen!

Finally, something fairly close I can actually go to. Also, my first con.

This gets my vote for the best, most adorable obscure geek-reference name for a local convention ever.

Love that graphic.

My first and last Botcon was the one held in Durham in 2001. It'll be very nice to have the option of having another convention here in NC I REALLY hope I can go.

Agreed

Sweet! I was afraid I wasn't going to get to go to a con next year, but now...

Is the title pronounced "sharticon" like Charlotte is pronounced "Sharlotte?" If it is, that's kind of funny.

yes it is.. it's a mash up of charlotte and sharticon .. with the "char" meaning charlotte... pretty nifty huh

This is great news. If Botcon ends up being too far away again next year, I am SO THERE.

Yay! I'll prepare for it.

It could also just be Char. The planet the Decepticons Occupied in the Generation One cartoon's Third Season.

All respect to the sharkticons though

Yup, I am gonna do my best to attend this. Charlotte is work commute from Columbia SC!

I still giggle every time I hear the word shart. But I can't wait to go to a convention in my backyard!

It gives us great pleasure to announce our first guest for Charticon will be none other than Daniel Ross!

Anyone who doesn't know Daniel's work needs to brush up on their voice actors! We are thrilled to have him join us for the show.

Hotel room is booked and looking forward to the show

Lol I read it as sharticon.

I really hope more guests are announced that have actually contributed to the Transformers franchise, as I would really like to fly out to this. I dont care for two attention seeking fanboys.

wish i could attend this....attend this....

Shrapnel is cool. Is cool. I was already planning to make it. make it. But at least this is a guest to be excited about. about.

Awesome!

Wow this convention sounds like fun but alas this is too far away for me.....

Cool that Jon Bailey and Hal Rayle will be there.

We've got another guest announcement today!

We are very pleased that our next guest for Charticon 2013 will be David Sobolov! His major Transformer roles include Depth Charge from Beast Wars and Shockwave from the current hit TV series: Transformers: Prime. David also played Brawl on the 2007 Transformers Movie Video Game and was slated to voice Megatron in IDW's All Hail Megatron Motion Comic before the project was canceled. In addition to his TF roles, David has an impressive resume of video game and animation characters including Robocop in Robocop: Alpha Commando, Dr. Garret Bryson in Mass Effect 3, Azmodan in Diablo 3 plus many more. We are thrilled to welcome David to the show!

As always, check out our website and facebook pages for more information on how you can register. We are looking to have a great lineup for our first show!

Awesome! I can't wait! It just keeps getting better.

Nice. I met David Sobolov at Slagacon in 2011, great guy and he signed my Depth Charge figure. Now... will Hasbro have a Prime Shockwave toy to market before Charticon?!

You Forgot Lobo On Young Justice. Keezy Fem!

Forget Lobo. You forget Tatsurion the Unchained/Bob from Kaijudo. Honestly that's the only reason i even watch it.

Really looking forward to this con. It's gonna be on my mind all year. I haven't been to NC since BC 01! Gonna be different as I haven't been in over a decade.

We're really looking forward to it too. I loved BC 01 as that was my very first 'con so we are hoping to recapture some of that more intimate gathering feel.

But there will still be plenty of toys!

Just preregistered, looking forward to it! Sent you an email as well

like our facebook page www.facebook.com/charticon for the most up-to-date charticon announcements!

Yes, that's what I love in TF conventions. The intimate feel. I've gone to other cons and they don't seem to have that vibe. Maybe it comes from our fan community and how we operate, or maybe something else. Either way, it's a good thing.

And trust me, I'm gonna buy plenty of those toys

I'm still really hoping I can go.

Only 7 more months

What, I can't do a count down?

You and me both! I'm almost to the point where I am counting the hours!

Also we just finished our most recent flyer design, I thought this would be a good place to show it.
