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

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.

The Optimus and Elita pic is really well done too.
Posted by Sabrblade on April 1st, 2016 @ 10:36am CDT
I think it's still meant to just be Armada Megatron proper, only rendered in a style that wouldn't clash too much with Optimus's design. David Kaye vs. David Kaye and whatnot.Delta Magnus wrote:That Animatedverse Armada Megatron is sublime, and now I want a toy based on it.

Huh, I didn't think of the David Kaye vs David Kaye thing...
An Armada Megatron toy with the articulation, engineering and styling of the Animated line would be awesome though. I guess I am biased as next to the RID 2001 design, Armada Megatron is my favourite Megatron design ever, and I do love the Animated style (despite never having seen the show). If I were more confident I'd customize an Animated Shockwave toy into him- his transformation is pretty simple, he looks quite similar and with the magic of kitbashing/Shapeways it's be possible to bulk up the figure/add Megatron-y surface detail without compromising articulation or transformation.

Even though the Leader and Legends Seekers bodies are technically supposed to represent the same body-type, but oh well.

Hey everyone,
As you may have seen me announce yesterday, I had to unfortunately cancel on Emerald City Comic Con. I just wasn’t able to confirm in time, despite them generously giving me extra time to do so.
However, since then I have been able to make another show work that is closer and goes for less days, and is therefore easier for me to do.
Yes, I will have a table at Botcon in Louisville, kentucky!
There were no Artist Alley tables available when I signed up, but they were able to set me up with an exhibitor booth.
Please note: I'll be in the Grand Ballroom area, not in Artist Alley
I’ll also, have a new print of Drift in his MTMTE season 1 and 2 design!
I don’t think I’ll have much time to do sketches before coming to Kentucky, but I’ll take a limited amount of sketches ahead of time. If nothing else, they’ll be the first on my list at the show. I’ll be doing as many as I can take during the show.
If you’re interested in a sketch, email me at glovestudios@gmail.com. I’m going to try to limit myself to 5.
My prices are below.
9”x12”
Head sketch $30
Bust $50
11”x14”
Bust $70
Full Body $120
For color, add $25
This will actually be only the second time I’ve tabled at a Botcon, so I’m anxious to see how it will be. Please come by and say hello!
And it will be my very first time in Kentucky, so I’m looking forward to experiencing that Southern hospitality I’ve heard so much about!

Must be talking about a DP poster.
Also, by reference logic Rodimus should be sitting in the back for that group shot.

As for the Deadpool image Amelie is talking about, I think she means this one:

That is straight from issue 47 of MTMTE. Great read.

7 PM club! woot! woot! I've had a change in plans and am now going down Thursday night as soon as I get out of class. I've not payed to much attention to the price of all the souvenirs together before but is it normal for the sum of their prices to be $295? I thought it would be more than that.
Posted by Sabrblade on April 3rd, 2016 @ 10:48pm CDT
This year they're selling the souvenirs as individual figures, instead of as multi-packs, to keep the costs down (save for the troop builder, which is a 3-pack of a CW Legends mold).Railbomb wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I got mine.

Thanks! Turns out the letter is under the "My Account" section of Botcon.com. I've got the 6pm slot!
