A Seibertron panel? How?

Because a Seibertron staffer is hosting it (me), along with another fellow Seibertronian, using Siebertron gallery Images

Will is truly rising above and beyond! Wish I could see the panel!

I bet there's going to be some video coverage of the event. No doubts about it.

Sadly, I dont think there will be. I think they only tape the panels with the stars, like Shatner. I dont even know if the Peter Cullen Panel will be taped (professionally).

It was pretty fun afterall. There was a line up, I couldnt beleive it. Unintenionally it turned into an Abbot and Costello act where I was the straight man and Kanrabat was the one cracking jokes. Most of the jokes were about him swearing while trying to transform them live and pieces coming off.

The Peter Cullen panel was great. He reiteated somthing I still do not believe: that he is playing the same optimus in the films as the one he portrayed in G1. But hey, he's the official sourcefor that info on characterisation, and will be strict about what he cant say as optimus, so I must abide. Also, he had to audition 3 times to play the role of Optimus in the films. He was seen as a voice actor like any other. That sounds pretty nuts to have Peter freaken Cullen audition for the role of Optimus.
Oh and he is from my hometown and the town fo the show: Montreal. Didnt know that.

Yours truly will be hosting a Transformers panel Saturday July 8th 2017 at Montreal Comiccon. It is for general audiences, showing the evolution of Transformers designs in both animation models and toys from the 80s to this year. We will have toys from G1 to this year's Transformers The Last Knight on hand. The panel will be in room 515a at 2:30 pm and it will be cohosted by fellow Seibertronian Kanrabat. See you there!

Once again this year, it will be AWESOME!

Didn't you also host a similar panel last year, that time with Optimus prime as the model of the evolution?

Ah, dude! I totally forgot Montreal Comiccon was this weekend! I was totally going to go and hang out with some of my Montreal bros!! Oh, well. TFCon is next weekend. I'm sure I'll see them there.

Yes we did!

And if we get selected for next year too, I have an awesome idea for the next panel. But you'll have to wait a year to find out.

Hey Seibertronians!
I, your very own Bronzewolf, will be hosting a Transformers/Toy Industry panel at Fort Collins Comic Con in Colorado on Sunday, August 27th, starting at 2:15 in the Enterprise room! I'll be doing a small presentation on how the growing culture of adult toy collectors has shaped the toy market, followed by a Q&A, where you can feel free to ask me anything, wether it be about Seibertron, Transformers, pop culture, or anything else you want to know!
I'll have a wide array of Transformers, old and new, from G1 to Masterpiece, on display to show the evolution from basic children's toy to hyper accurate, super articulated collector's grade figure.

It promises to be a fun time, the first of what I want to be many, and I hope to meet some of you there! Please drop by if you're in the area!



Further schedule updates and general details will be posted to the Fort Collins Comic Con facebook.
