Time for Stan to collect his yearly paycheck. I mean with all due respect, without Transformers this guy would have no career. What I honestly want to know is if Stan Bush is a real Transformers fan or collector ??? Could I get into a deep discussion with him about the G1 cartoon or would he tell me "dude I just did the songs" ???

I was kinda wondering the same thing. By this time last year, I think we knew every figure that would be there.

Not that it matters, I'm getting them all regardless of character or mold.

The last of an epic guest list for BotCon 2011 has been announced in a playful tease from @BotCon, about Seibertron's now-defunct PG-13 spoof. Actress Arlene Banas, voice of G1 Carly, will round up BotCon's guest list in sunny Pasadena in two short weeks.

Ah, man! I remember "Before there was Carly...".

Before there was Carly, there was..."Rhoda Miss", "Joy Rhide", "Leah Convoy", "Wendy Razor", "Silvia Streak", "Claudia Raker", "Irene Werks", etc. Oh, those were so bad. Why don't we bring those back?

Carly? Meh. If for nothing else, it'd just be nice to get a picture of G1 Carly's actress and movie Carly's actress together. But to be honest, I'd rather see Sue Blu there than Carly and the Baroness.

The lawyers of Twistys and Playboy are not very kind. Plus I don't think Mrs. Yzquierdo would approve of Ryan going on said sites anymore.

Man, it seems they almost have the entire group of voice actors for the entire series coming to this convention.

Makes me wish I was going.

For those who haven't seen my Livio Ramondelli Megatron sketch, it's amazing.

I highly recommend getting a sketch from him!

Add another one to growing list of special guest for this year's BotCon. Voice actor Steven Blum let the cat of the bag in this interview at Action Figure Times. He also says other members of the Transformers Prime cast will be on hand for a live script reading!

Are you attending Botcon this year? (If not, please tell us when you will be appearing at a future event)

Yes! My first one! Very excited – and right near my home town!! I’ll be there at 12pm on Saturday, June 4th at the Pasadena Convention Center for a very special event. Members of the Prime cast will be performing a live script reading of a current episode of Transformers Prime! It’ll be a fun, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the recording process from some of the main actors on the show! For more information about the venue, directions or Botcon itself, you can go to Botcon.com.

Heheh, the first guest I'm truly excited about?

Well, all of the Prime cast really, but since it was only ever mentioned in passing I wasn't sure how big of a deal the script-reading would be. Now I 'm excited for that too.
