I don't think he's attending in an official capacity. He goes to most of these as a regular guest i believe. But it's cool he does go to these, he's a awesome guy to talk to in person.

Free to the General Public, April 8th at 4th Street Live in Louisville, Kentucky! Make sure you make plans for the BIGGEST AND BEST TRANSFORMERS weekend of the year... BotCon 2016!

TF_JW wrote:The BotCon 2016 Artist Alley announcements have started! There are going to be a lot of great names revealed today, and each one is superbly talented and a pleasure with whom to talk. So if you're planning to attend next month, I hope you'll take a moment to stop by the artists' tables, browse their art, and chat if you have the time!

The convention will once again have the LARGEST Transformers Artists' Alley of any pop culture convention. Stay Tuned for reveals all day!

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!

TF_JW wrote:Double Joshes! The fourth artist being announced for BotCon 2016's Artist Alley is Josh Burcham!

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!

TF_JW wrote:Next up, you may recognize her work on the IDW Combiner Hunters comics. Or her AMAZING Starscream, Torchbearers, and DJD artwork: Sara Pitre-Durocher!

Head over to her Tumblr or DeviantART pages to see samples of her work:

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

TF_JW wrote:Casey Coller will be in the BotCon Artist Alley again this year! Casey is a fantastic artist and an all around good guy! Stop by his table and say hello!

TF_JW wrote: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!

TF_JW wrote: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.

I think those posts are automatically generated when they create a front page post.

This pleases me. Since I'm getting the unpainted class figure, I'll have him paint it (and maybe my Wheeljack).


Also, probably a dumb question, but does anyone know if he'll charge money for this?

Hello Members!

We have some exciting news! On Friday afternoon, BotCon registered attendees will be treated to a script reading panel starring Judd Nelson, David Kaye, Venus Terzo, and Gregg Berger! To see this you must be a registered attendee, so make sure you have signed up for your Primus, Golden Ticket Primus, MiniCon or Protoform package. Also, for those who have already registered, if you have not yet added your Judd Nelson VIP Pass to your existing package you can do that today! Visit BotCon for the details and then if you need to register, add the VIP pass or do both, you can do that here.

As you can tell from the above paragraph, there has been a guest change. Unfortunately due to personal reasons, Scott McNeil had to cancel. However, Gregg Berger will now be coming! We will all miss Scott, but we are very excited about seeing our old friend Gregg in a few short weeks.

Registration will close on March 21st so there is not much time left to register. Currently there are only 30% of the Primus packages, 8% of the GT packages and 19% of the Iacon (non-attending) packages, left.

Please note that March 16 is the last day you can join the Transformers Collectors Club. If you are interested in receiving the discounts for BotCon, the 2016 FREE Membership Incentive figure and/or purchasing the TFSS 5.0 (to be revealed in full at BotCon 2016) you will need to be an active member as of March 16. All memberships will end December 31, 2016. Hasbro looks forward to sharing new plans for the Collector’s Club with you in the future.

We appreciate your support over the last 12 years and wish the brand well in their new endeavors.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing each and every one of our Club members at BotCon 2016!

Brian
