I hope you enjoy it, it is a really good line up

A shame I couldn't afford to come over for it.

Comment by o.supreme Nov 26, 2018

I completely understand. Many fans cannot afford to travel far, including myself. I haven't been to any show since Botcon in 2013, and honestly, I thought since Hasbro ended Botcon, I never would get the opportunity again, since most fan organized conventions weren't within a reasonable distance for me.

Also I figure this will be the last time I'll really get to enjoy an experience like this with my son, he'll be just short of 13. He still has interest in Transformers, but his interests are growing and expanding, which I expected, and that is fine.

You'll always have the memories, even if your tastes diverge. I hope I can do something similar when my children are older.

Yes, and Yes. All the voice talent announced so far is amazing!

Just wanted to mention, by way of update, unfortunately I will not be able to attend. My wife has had a recent health development, that while dangerous, is totally treatable if we act now, which we already have begun treatment for her. Unfortunately this necessitates cancelling of our hotel reservation/rental car etc...already booked in advance. But of course, my family always comes first. I wish anyone who is able to go the best, and regret not being able to meet anyone in person.
