We've shown you some images from the plaques and trophies part of the induction ceremony to the Transformers Hall of Fame for Susan Blu - the historic voice of Arcee - right here, but we now also have a full recording of the moment which took place during the VIP attendee meal event!

Introduced by fellow voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, we're reminded that Susan Blu has contributed to a wide range of cinematic and entertainment outlets (including voice director for Beast Wars, Animated and Transformers: Prime), as well as being a perfomer herself for the first generations of My Little Pony, Jem and GI Joe. Take a look at the clip below for yourselves, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

For more on Frank Welker and Peter Cullen, take a look at our previous clip from their panel here!

In other news from Hascon, and as has been the case for years, we also took some time to look at non-Transformers news from around the event - with some attention given to the My Little Pony franchise, one of Hasbro's biggest sellers after Magic the Gathering and Nerf, and with its Movie line coming up soon and the Equestria Girls line still going strong.

In addition, we were able to attend the big panel for the Marvel side of things (for which Hasbro produces action figures): Stan Lee - co-creator of the Marvel universe himself, and the rumoured Watcher for the cinematic Marvel universe - live on stage! Both videos can be viewed below, of course, and do let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

I never got DotM Soundwave in any capacity, and it sort of bums me out that there were plans for a Blaster too. I would have loved that Blaster

Who knows, maybe someday Soundwave and Blaster will be made and released. As long as the tooling exists...

Soundwave did get made. He just didn't see release in the U.S.

is it true Frank Welker is very private, a very private person? hence that's why he avoided attending conventions for a while? I heard BotCon had been trying to get him to attend for close to 20 years but no luck until 2015.

Very true, especially since I got one.

He got a Hasbro release in Asia I believe, but not in the Americas or Europe. That's where the catch is.

One other piece of movie-related news from Hascon deals with the second induction for the Transformers Hall of Fame, introduced by Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner - and featuring the producer of the Michael Bay directed movies from Paramount: Lorenzo di Bonaventura!

Starting with Transformers (2007), to Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and then the new trilogy with Age of Extinction, The Last Knight and the next movie (plus of course the Transformers Universe: Bumblebee solo spin-off), di Bonaventura has been behind the scenes, helping shape what we have today in the live action universe. Check out the ceremony below, and head back here for the Susan Blu one that preceded it!

We know that many Seibertronians had considered attending Hascon, but were not able to actually make it in person, so Seibertron.com has strived to bring you an idea of what the event looked like in first person, with a walkthrough of the floors and the brand experiences laid out by Hasbro - featuring Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, My Little Pony, Star Wars, Disney Princess, Marvel, Nerf, and more (but missing GI Joe, Dropmix and Hascade, due to time constraints!) - in a 20 minute clip! Follow our own Seibertron as he takes a look at all the areas, and enjoy the official images provided by Hasbro themselves collected in our gallery below, featuring the likes of James Gunn, Mark Wahlberg, Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Maddie Ziegler, Isabella Moner, Brandin Cook, and more!

The other experience you may not have taken part in is the VIP event that took place on the Saturday evening of Hascon, the one that included the Hall of Fame inductions for Susan Blu and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the Transformers: The Last Knight panel with Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, di Bonaventura, Frank Welker and Peter Cullen, the Power of the Primes reveals of the Terrorcons and more with Takara Tomy and Hasbro designers - such as Shogo Hasui, Takashi Kunihiro, Hideaki Yoke, plus John Warden, and others - and the Toy and Character Hall of Fame reveals!

The Stan Bush concert at the end of the night is not included in this recording, but you can join Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner and the host for the evening, plus site owner Seibertron in the full VIP evening events in the video below!

Bossbot extraordinaire, Seibertron, posted his walkthrough of the Transformers Area walk through at Hascon, in it there's vintage and modern toys on display, a huge Optimus Prime statue from his Transformers: Prime appearance, showings of the cartoons and movies all weekend for everybody to watch, the vehicles from the live action films, autograph signings from the various voice actors and stars, Rescue Bots play area, The epic The Last Knight diorama, and much, much more. It definitely is worth checking out to see the fantastic sights below!

We'll be showcasing more videos throughout the week from HasCon as they become available, stay tuned!

if Frank Welker can finally start attending convenionts(which he avoided for many years), hopefully Corey Burton can do the same someday.

There are two kinds of people in this thread right now :-P

(I am also excited for Deathsaurus! And much as I'm frustrated that we didn't see Apeface and Snapdragon in TR, I'm just glad that we've basically got confirmation they're in the pipeline. I mean, that statement seems pretty wink-wink-nudge-nudge-hint-hint to me, and considering they've got Generations mapped out for the next four years at least... the wait may be unbearable, but it's less unbearable than not knowing if they're ever gonna happen at all

Oh, I know, I know and trust me, the other announcements do make me happy(even if they didn't mention Seacons at all, c´mon, with Rippersnapper, Overbite shouldn't be far), but it IS enraging that they said that about the Horrorcons. :BANG_HEAD:

To those of you who went, how would you rate the Transformers part of Hascon? Better or worse than BotCon used to be?

Anybody hitting HTS for the exclusives on September 20th? Looks like I'm out of luck on the GI Joe Cobra missile command but everything else will be there.
