Isn't it obvious? In an effort to create a more family friendly atmosphere, Hasbro wanted a performance by the guy who likes to sing about having his whistle blown. Kids love whistles, right?

I am beyond puzzled by the inclusion of Flo Rida.

He was the most trendy artist they could book without spending a bunch of money, I guess.

According to Hasbro's Twitter page, Mark Wahlberg will be attending this year's HASCON. The tweet also lets us know his appearance will be on 9/9 specifically so be sure to make a note if you will be attending.

Can we get Stan Bush and Marky Mark to sing a duet of The Touch?

I imagine he will probably be there for Autographs only. Cant see him doing a panel, and if he does, it will probably have no Q&A...and if there is, I'm sure the questions will be scrutinized thoroughly before they let any fan near him on a open mic.

Still...what are the odds we could get a crowd-funded *suicide bomber* (metaphorically speaking of course) to act as courteous and professional as possible, then just have an opportunity long enough to shout out loud "The LAST KNIGHT SUCKS!"...the reason for the crowd funding being of course that said person would get kicked out as soon as this happened.

Just to be clear, I have no grievances against Mark Wahlberg himself. I think he is a decent actor. I actually liked AoE to some degree, but TLK was just inexcusable, which I hardly blame Wahlberg for, it just needs to be said, that's all.

I feel the same way.

But then again, maybe he knows already. Ben Affleck knew BvS sucked without any fan telling it to his face :lol:

Considering Mark Wahlberg is done with Transformers I don't think he'd care. Still I wouldn't want to crap on the movie for the new fans that like it or discovered Transformers through it. The prankster in me thinks it would be pretty funny but I'd rather not see people get upset. After all the actors and other staff did put a lot of effort into the movie even if it wasn't directed well.

I'm fairly confident he would not be contractually allowed to disparage the very movie he's there to promote at Hascon.

Also, he probably gets this sort of stuff on his twitter feed or whatever every day. I'm not a fan of him as an actor, but leave him alone; he doesn't need that sort of stuff in his life.

Word via Pete Sinclair from Pete's Robo Con is that Groupon has posted the Hascon tickets up for sale for 50% off. It's a good deal, click the image to go to Groupon's site to hop on this deal before it's not available!

With a mash up of good vibrations! :WHISTLE:

Hmm, lemme see, pay for airfare to fly to Rhode Island and spend $300+ to go to Hascon... or simply drive to Orlando and spend $45 to go to Disney World?

Decisions, decisions...

Good luck selling your art at those insane prices Ken. The Artists at Botcon were selling color prints of their best work for $10 a pop and they autographed it too.

How is that related? You talk about prints, he's writing about prices for actual art. 2 very different things.

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Mon Aug 21, 2017 6:54 pm

Also, as an artist he fully deserves to mark prices a lot higher than $10. Selling coloured commissions at that low a price is downright insane.

So is there any sort of Seibertron meet up for folks going to Hascon? I'm a little out if the loop but am going.
