    This will be my first con i get to go to but i can only go on Sunday. Definitely hoping i can get Peter Cullen to sign either 10 inch prime or nemesis funko for me. For those that have done this already how does the process normally work and another thing I\'m going to get a few figures but trying to figure the logistics of carrying all the boxes. I was thinking maybe one of those granny grocery getter carts but not sire if they\'re allowed. Any suggestions on what to do?

    How it was done in Chicago was tickets were sold in advance through the ticket page for Peter Cullen on the TFcon website, and there was a limited number available. That entitled you to an autograph on a single item and/or a photograph, depending on your package. There were set times for different packages, and the photos were taken by a photographer and made available online afterwards. If you want multiple autographs, you will likely have to buy multiple tickets (and they may be limited to a certain number per person).

    For other guests, you can just go line up any time they're at their table (when they're not in a panel, taking a break, etc.) and pay there (cash makes it easier) for an autograph and/or a photo. Their prices should be listed in advance on the website as well. If you want multiple items signed, again, you will have to pay for multiple autographs.

    If you want to get a box signed, it might be easier just to bring the box (flattened, no contents), lots of folks do that. Or just bring the item if you'd prefer that get autographed. Small carts should be allowed, but it might make moving around the convention hall more difficult, and its important to be respectful of other con-goers. You might have an easier time using a large shopping bag or two, and taking stuff to your room/car when you can, it can get crowded walking around if you have a lot of stuff.

    Short Answer: He got swarmed at an airport by overzealous people who tried to get him to sign a whole bunch of Funko Pops.

    TFCON LA always brings amazing guests.
    However with Peter Cullen's announcement, for the first time ever there will be at least one voice actor from every Transformers series at one convention!

    Below is a breakdown showing how many roles from each series is represented by the announced 27 voice actors.

    Cheers @Super_Megatron

    And that right there is exactly why I'm attending the LA TFcon only 6 months after the Chicago one. I have multiple G1 boxed transformers to get signed. At this point, I kinda wish I was into one of the other series. I'm glad that fans of those are not being ignored. Those other series are why Transformers is still around today. Fuck the Bay movies.

    The schedule for the convention will be posted online before the convention.

    In Chicago, the Peter Cullen morning autograph session started at 10am, that might be a good point of comparison (though since in LA it'll be on the Sunday, so maybe it would start a little later). I don't think you'll need to line up long before the session starts, since there's a limited number of tickets to ensure all those with a ticket get an autograph, but waiting in line for an early spot in the morning session could give you more time to enjoy the rest of the Sunday programming (don't go so early you're tired the rest of the day or there before the staff are ready for you, though). Other people might be able to chime in if their experience in Chicago was different.

    I really wish I could meet Peter Cullen! He\'s a very inspiring individual and very respectful person especially to people he doesn\'t always agree with!

    Did he ever voice a Funko figure in any media? (commercial, cartoon)
    There are many other toy-represented characters he's voiced.
    While Peter likely won't refuse an item, it may be more respectful to have him sign a figure he is connected with.

    There are funko's that represent G1 and Movie Optimus. To each there own, get something signed that works with your budget and holds meaning to you.
