I don't think he's attending in an official capacity. He goes to most of these as a regular guest i believe. But it's cool he does go to these, he's a awesome guy to talk to in person.

There we go then - good pre-emptive phrasing on my part.

If only it were exactly four months later....
This is something I'm going to pass on. Soooo glad that at least the game night night's not being cancelled in favor of it like a few years back. I'm really not a concert guy.

I guess that makes sense. It's kind of annoying for me, though, as I get an e-mail that tells me there's a new post whenever such is generated on these forums.
Usually, I find this to be a helpful feature, but it's frustrating to come on to find that there's actually nothing new after all.

Adam Hicks is a pop culture illustrator who has quite the library of work to offer. Super heroes, movie & tv characters, and of course Transformers. He's great with marker sketches, so make sure you get your name on his commissions list!

Matt Frank, the much-praised artist behind IDW's Godzilla comics and frequent artist for Fun Publications projects, will be in the Artist Alley with plenty of beastly goodness. Grimlock, Beast Wars, and some plain old humanoid robots as well, you'll have plenty to browse through if you stop by his table.

If you never heard the name Rob Roberts, perhaps you've heard "Cheetimus". You've definitely seen his custom Transformers action figures! He'll have his table set up again this year, sell customs and offering to jazz up your Transformers figures with whatever paint you'd like!

Silas Zee has made a name for himself with his simple style that captures the look of animated films from days past and turning robotic characters in to human forms.

This pleases me. Since I'm getting the unpainted class figure, I'll have him paint it (and maybe my Wheeljack).
Also, probably a dumb question, but does anyone know if he'll charge money for this?

Almost certainly. It won't be cheap, I can assure you.
Anyway, this is quite the awesome lineup! I wish I could go. I'd love to meet some of these guys, especially Hayato Sakamoto.
Also, that Strongarm pic by Silas Zee is just adorable.

Sheesh. That kicks Break-Neck off of the stuff to buy there.
Then again (if your price range is correct), having the class figure painted would probably equal the remaining cost of taking the class itself, and takes away the chance of me screwing it up.

He did mine after the convention, but at the same price. Personally, I thought it was totally worth it, even after accounting for some delays.

Hello Members!
We have some exciting news! On Friday afternoon, BotCon registered attendees will be treated to a script reading panel starring Judd Nelson, David Kaye, Venus Terzo, and Gregg Berger! To see this you must be a registered attendee, so make sure you have signed up for your Primus, Golden Ticket Primus, MiniCon or Protoform package. Also, for those who have already registered, if you have not yet added your Judd Nelson VIP Pass to your existing package you can do that today! Visit BotCon for the details and then if you need to register, add the VIP pass or do both, you can do that here.
As you can tell from the above paragraph, there has been a guest change. Unfortunately due to personal reasons, Scott McNeil had to cancel. However, Gregg Berger will now be coming! We will all miss Scott, but we are very excited about seeing our old friend Gregg in a few short weeks.
Registration will close on March 21st so there is not much time left to register. Currently there are only 30% of the Primus packages, 8% of the GT packages and 19% of the Iacon (non-attending) packages, left.
Please note that March 16 is the last day you can join the Transformers Collectors Club. If you are interested in receiving the discounts for BotCon, the 2016 FREE Membership Incentive figure and/or purchasing the TFSS 5.0 (to be revealed in full at BotCon 2016) you will need to be an active member as of March 16. All memberships will end December 31, 2016. Hasbro looks forward to sharing new plans for the Collector’s Club with you in the future.
We appreciate your support over the last 12 years and wish the brand well in their new endeavors.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing each and every one of our Club members at BotCon 2016!
Brian
