Stop by his table and get the Cyclonus/Tailgate feels all over again! Or chat about regional breweries and the best place for a cheeseburger!

One of the fastest colorists ever and always with stellar results! He'll have plenty of art to look through, but make sure you check out his Beast Wars anniversary print in particular!

After Sara is Brian Shearer. He's got a unique paint/marker style for his art that fans will no doubt find interesting!

Brandy Dixon has been providing colors for various BotCon/the TCC projects for the last few years. If you head for her table, she's going to have plenty of G1 Seeker/Rainmaker art as well as Beast Wars anniversary artwork for the voice actors and special guests to sign!

Brandy is one of the creators of the last two Rainmakers. I am the other one and I will be around helping her out. We will have some of the customs of the Rainmaker trine for people to look at.

Marcelo Matere has been providing artwork for Transformers packaging, comic books, and toy designs for quite some time now. His style is very adaptable, from highly detailed G1 to a more cartoonish Animated look. His latest project is as cover artist for IDW's "Deviations" title.

What's with all the posts simply repeating what TF_JW has already officially shown us?

Archie Cunningham is the creator of the Armored Forces comic, but his interest in comic books and pop culture goes far beyond that... Check out his Transformers art as well as his original creations at BotCon 2016! It'll be great to have him there!

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.

Robby Musso, who is probably the nicest guy you will ever meet, will be set up in the Artist Alley again this year. Stop by to see his fantastic artwork, which includes a lot more than just Transformers for those with wider interests.

There's also this guy. I don't think anyone knows who he is...
Just kidding, everyone knows the Transformers: Animated art director and biggest Transformers fanboy there is, Derrick J. Wyatt!

Winston Bolen has been providing line art and colors for the Transformers Collectors' Club for almost ten years... yet this will be his first BotCon appearance ever! Stop by his table to see some great pieces that you've probably never seen for sale before!

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!

Do you like dinosaurs? Everyone likes dinosaurs!

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.

Thomas Deer is a fantastic colorist who has worked on many comics for Fun Publications and IDW. You can find his colors paired with Matt Frank's line art in more than a few of those issues!

If you've seen any concept art from the movies or Transformers Prime, there is a chance that Ken Christiansen had a hand in creating it. Especially if it was in the Transformers Covenant of Primus book. If you're fan of the enigmatic 13 original Transformers, stopping by Ken Christiansen's table would be... Prime.

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.

Hayato Sakamoto is currently writing and illustrating the pack-in and web comics for Takara Tomy's Legends toy line, as well as providing artwork for the occasional IDW Transformers More Than Meets The Eye issue. He has also done the Takara Tomy Kre-O comic strips and the BotCon 2014 "Hoist The Flag" comic.

Last but certainly far from least is Dan Khanna! Dan has been part of the brand almost as long as there has been a BotCon, and continues to produce terrific artwork. Stop by his table and say "hi" as you browse his extensive portfolio.
