I'm realllllly hoping someone ninja'd in a camera with some footage. Pleaseee someone have the guts to break the rules~ *prays* This panel sounded like it would of been amazing to see in person! Yet again I am regretting missing BotCon. >_<
And on a side note, Big Congrats to David Kaye getting a possible role with Disney/Pixar! *cheers* =D

Forget script, youtube it.
Oh yeah if David Kaye is working for Pixar and Disney films, I hope he lands for a role in Toy Story 3.
Torque
hey, i posted a comment but it never ent through, anyone know why?
realCliffjumper
Someone always manages to sneak a camera in for these. I am sure within a couple of days some of this will be up on YouTube. A couple bits from last year are still up I know that. At least, the skits are. The Armada Megs professing his love for Lugnut sounds hilarious!!!
Honey-Flash
From what I've read so far, this sounds awsome!
I probably shouldn't ask this but, will somebody have a script of pannel avalable later?
lord ginrai
Sounds like a LOT of fun!
MushroomPrime

angelus2402004

StarSaber79
