So I'm guessing that the Beast Wars 20th Anniversary panel is just going to be a David Kaye and Venus Terzo Q&A. With maybe Aaron Archer too since he started working on the tail end of the toy line, Transmetal 2s. It's a shame half the BW guests had to drop out for one reason or another. Could they not have gotten any other BW guests? Blu Mankuma? Colin Murdock? David Sobolov? Lee Tockar? Jim Byrnes? Doug Parker? Or Pauline Newstone, if she's still alive. Seriously, I Googled her and two of the auto-completes are "Pauline Newstone dead" and "Pauline Newstone death" and I cannot find a conclusive answer. She seems to have disappeared of the face of the Earth. There's also another weird auto-complete which is "Pauline Newstone age". And I can't find her age or birth date anywhere either.

Edit: Ah. Didn't see the descriptions. So it is just David and Venus.

I think at least some of the limitation is financial. It costs more money to fly guests to non-California locations, so non-CA BotCons have had fewer guests.

There will be a number of artists attending BotCon 2016, as you might remember from the Artist Alley announcement a while back. One of these is Matt Frank, who will be representing his Beast Wars love in not one but two original pieces of art - you can see them below in their finished (Meagalligator vs Battimus Prime) and an exclusive tribute to Primals, still in progress!

News Credits: 6188 · Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:11 am

Another artist taking part at BotCon is the supercolourist Josh Perez, who also provided the colours for Casey Coller's Hot Rod/Judd Nelson exclusive print as seen here - and Josh is full of new prints, guest by guest or just in celebration of the Beast Wars Anniversary, which you can find at his page, and a sample below!

News Credits: 6188 · Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:23 am

Another Josh, another colourist-with-artist, Josh Burcham is bringing his Beast Wars game to BotCon 2016 as well, with the wonderful print you can see below featuring the main cast for the animated series! Also included is a potential print idea of Nova Prime being all smug and ominous, check it out below.

News Credits: 6188 · Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:43 am

Our very own Seibertronian Brandy Dixon (aka bdixonarts), regularly featured in the Creative Round-Up, is also part of the BotCon 2016 Artist Alley, and will be bringing some wonderful Rainmaker art from Damon Batt and Berious, and a new Gregg Berger piece with Batt - check out her colour work below!

News Credits: 1 · Fri Apr 01, 2016 6:37 am

all of these are amazing... too bad i didn't have the cash to go to BotCon (or one close to me

) as i would definitely purchase Animated O.P v Armada Megatron in a heartbeat.
