So at this point how about we just make a list of those who have ever been involved with Transformers who ISN'T a guest, it would be much faster to read
realCliffjumper:
All we need is Gary Chalk and we can rename it PrimeCon 2009.

llamatron:
Sweet, glad he's going to be there!
Draven:
Excellent. He's such a nice guy!
Skylock:
Awesome, I'm so excited!
ORIO:
Sigh... like I need ANOTHER reason to wish I was going this year.
Icespark:
This is great news!  Peter Cullen is a true gentleman, and a great guest!
I can't wait for Botcon! all are dead: Quote:

I would've been surprised if he WASN'T going. ^_^
Mechafire:
Too bad I won't be there.  ams:
I certainly hope someone will ask him how to get into voice acting, and what it was like to work with Chris Latta.  Hiro Prime:
Excellent News.
I look forward to seeing him again. He's always been one of my favorite VAs.

Thought about MISB G1 Prime or MP04, but was worried about damage in transit for both.
When I was having my stuff signed, I said, "Mr. Cullen, thanks for taking time to be here with us - we sure appreciate it", and he looked me straight in the face and said, "Hey, I wouldn't be where I am without all of you - I need to be thanking you!". And I was like, damn, this guy is one class act.
REDLINE:
I was there but didnt' get to get his autograph, as the lines were too ridiculous. AniProwl:
The best news I've heard about BotCon. At least the guests for BotCon are good. It would be awesome if all this voice talent was used for this year's skit.
Off topic ,but don't they usually have 3-5 voice actors from the curren Tv series at BotCon? We have David Kaye, but Mr. Yankovic (sp?) isn't attending the panel for Animated. I hope they have Tom Kenny, because he wanted to be there last BotCon. While we're at the topic of Animated guest stars, how about Jeff Bennett or better yet Phil LaMarr to top it off?
Vangelus:
Saturday is looking to be such a clusterfuck, I have no idea if I'll get any breaks in between panels.  Gigatron_2005:
Very nice to have him as a guest! starscream-99:
YES!!!!!!!!
IACON:  : I wish I could go.... But no money for the trip......
I would just die to hear him in person and maybe get his signature on
on of my MISB G1 Prime.... :
Grimlocka go-go:
Well that's it. The slightest regret i had about going just went poof.
Fuckin awsome news.
TonyzCustomz:
Time to clean up my MP prime to get signed! thygriever:
i am officially jealous. everyone going to botcon better get his autograph Quote:

Sam's_Bee:
Wish I was going  but I don't have the money. Hmm maybe I could ask my godfather(who lives in Ventura) to go for me on that day.
Off topic a bit but are single day tickets still aviable? One can hope.

Am I the only one who loves that image of Cullen holding the Optimus Prime voice-changer helmet? It is such an iconic photograph.
Bogatan:
I got an autograph on a poster in 07 I think I while I'd love to get something better signed I just don't know if I'm willing to queue for a couple of hours to get it.
Good news he's coming anyway.
Freyabeads:
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS for me makes 6 hours on a plane worth it!
YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iceclimber:
yeah, like most of you attending will really get to talk with him. Good luck with that.
transformers32:
Man this is great news he is probally the only one i would love to meet. I wonder if only primus holders will be able to get his autograph just like werid al??
SarahMobius:
Not surprised, but still quite glad he's coming. I met him very briefly at botcon 2007. The autograph line was insane, but he still tried to get to everyone.
spiritprime:
Darn shame that we Aussies don't get to go unless we need tickets. You Americans are very lucky. It has always been my dream to meet him and get an autograph, I mean, he's the Man Behind The Prime. He's a legend beyond legend who has voiced an amazing character.
Peter Cullen, your fans await you!  Freyabeads: Quote:

Aernaroth:
Wellllll crap. Now I feel worse for not going.

Weird Al Autograph Session from 9 to 11
2 1-hour Peter Cullen Autograph Sessions
2 1-hour David Kaye Autograph sessions
Peter Cullen Panel (probably with other G1 voice actors)
Animated Panel w/ weird Al
Autograph sessions with other guests
Other panels
I would almost guarantee that one of the Cullen autograph sessions will happen during the weird Al autograph session.

misterd:
If Peter Cullen puts on the helmet that makes him talk like Peter Cullen... is that the voice of God?
LifePincher:
I had a friend that went in '07 and instead of standing in the LONG lines, he went up to the front part of the line and offered a guy $25. to get Peter Cullin's signature for him. The guy agreed and did it. It was on a G1 MISB Prime. I think he later got it AFA graded, but I never heard back from him since my move.
Not very ethical what he did, but hey, I would've offered the guy $50.
Wish I could've gone this year Motor_Master: Quote:

Wish I could've gone this year | But all the guy got for $25 was Peter Cullen's autograph, he didn't get to actually meet him, shake his hand, etc. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, I just like getting the whole experience. Plus when you're inline with cool people like Shibamura_Prime, the line moves pretty fast.

Now if they could get Frank Welker and Dan Gilvezan and Scott McNeil we'd have an almost perfect guest list.
JKahn913:
Now the only guests who could make this even better are the StarTV Headmasters dub actors.
"You bunch of mooncalves!"
