Mr. Kaplan will be appearing during all three days of the event (April 13-15), offering panels and signings and multiple appearances. In addition to his work as the immortal hero Optimus Prime in the most "anime" of the Transformers shows, Neil has voiced the very recognizable Hawkmon from Digimon, as well as Gluto of Power Rangers fame.
