Peter Cullen as Featured Guest of Montreal Comiccon 2016

So many celebrities and people I like have been dying here recently, that every time I see Peter Cullen on here for as split second I have a mini panick attack

Montreal Comiccon is starting Friday, Jully 8th, and one of its special guests is non other than Optimus Prime himself, Peter Cullen. Unlike other guests, getting an autograph from Mr Cullen requires a special package so here is a breakdown of the packages available and the prices for those wanting to attend:

Earlier this year, we announced that Peter Cullen would be coming home, to meet his fans at Montreal Comiccon. Best known as the original voice of Optimus Prime in the Transformers 80s Cartoon series, and most other appearances thereafter, he has also brought to life Eeyore in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, Monterey Jack in Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers, and many other classic 80's and 90's cartoons. This is a rare appearance with specialty tickets required, only available for Saturday and Sunday, and limited to 125 autographs each day*. Make sure you get your tickets now before they are all gone!

The Gold package will get you an autograph on an item of your choice, one table photo (bring your camera), one Montreal Comiccon exclusive Transformers comic book from IDW, and priority access to the Peter Cullen Q&A on Saturday afternoon, with a collectible badge. The Silver Package will include an autograph on an item of your choice, one table photo, and one Montreal Comiccon exclusive Transformers comic book from IDW.

Tickets are now available! Go to the Tickets section to buy yours!

*Walk up at table purchase will NOT be available as he is only signing a limited amount of items during a limited amount of time.

No lunch, just an autograph and a picture using your own camera. Plus a comic

The Montreal Comiccon starts today and there are two nice Transformers panels planned during the week-end. You can view the entire schedule here.

On Saturday (July 9th), you can catch the Peter Cullen panel at 4:45 PM, in room 710b - Freeman Theatre. Questions must be asked in advance and you can ask them here.

On Sunday (July 10th), yours truly will be hosting a Transformers panel at 2:00PM, called 30+ Years of Transformer Toys and their Evolution, in room 514a - Panel Room 1. It is aimed at people who are not familiar with the past 30 years of toys and features different Optimus Prime toys from throughout those years, starting with G1, that will be transformed live to show the evolution of the toys.

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.

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

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.

Because of course these sorts of things come along after I move away.

I meant Masterpiece, as I said. "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.

We wouldn't have the Masterpiece line if it weren't for adult fans/collectors.

Thanks to an update from their Facebook page, we have news that David Kaye, the well loved voice actor who lent his voice to the mean purple dinosaur known as Beast Wars Megatron, will be attending the Great Lakes Comiccon in 2018! David Kaye had his first Transformers experience as the voice of Megatron from both Beast Wars and Beast Machines, and eventually voiced Optimus Prime in Transformers: Animated, on of the few voice actors to voice both the big bad and the Prime himself.

Great Lakes Comiccon will be held on February 23-24, 2018 at the Macomb Community College, Warren, Michigan.

A new day... a new month... a new guest annoucement!

Join us in welcoming David Kaye to the Great Lakes Comic-Con! Appearing on Saturday, February 24, 2018 ONLY!

David is best known for being the voice of Megatron on Transformers Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and more! He was also the voice of Animated Optimus Prime, General Hawk on G.I. Joe and much more!

Woah, David Kaye and WJ88 are gonna be there!

Thanks to a post on their Twitter page, we have learned that Denver Comic Con will be welcoming Mairghread Scott at this years convention! Mairghread Scott is an IDW writer most famously in our franchise for writing the Windblade mini-series as well as Till All Are One and the crossover event First Strike. Other guests include comic stars Jen Vaughn, Tony Moore, Sanya Anwar, and Joe Eisma, and TV and film guests Molly Ringwald, Greg Cipes, Cress Williams, and David Harbour.

Denver Comic Con will be taking place this year at the Colorado Convention Center, and will be running from June 15 through the 17. Tickets can be purchased HERE, so get yourself some tickets, and head on out for an enjoyable weekend in Denver!

Her last few issues of TAOO were great.

But I wasn't a fan of those Hasbro-verse books.

the first few issues of TAAO were ok, then it descended into...yeah....

Now I see her with credits on such animated series as Guardians of the Galaxy. Apparently continuity in these series means absolutely nothing anymore. Its just about being a pale copy of the films. Season 3 kicks off literally with an episode which is an animated version of the Mission Breakout ride at Disney's California Adventure. The characters are automatically updated to look like their post *Volme 2* selves with no regard to what happened in the last season. Gawd....being a fan of comic-based animated series is torture. But I don't fully blame Scott, she is just a pawn in all of this.

Jeph Loeb is the mastermind of this disaster. I hate his decisions so much. As great as Spectacular Spider-Man & Avengers: EMH are, (which Loeb cancelled) I've rewatched them so many times in the past decade, I have them practically memorized.

Hey Seibertronians! It's my pleasure to announce that I'll be presenting my Panel "Never Grow Up: How Toy Collectors Created an Industry" at this year's Denver Comic Con, one of the largest conventions in the country! This is the same talk I gave at last year's Fort Collins Comic Con, just obviously on a bigger scale! It'll be on Saturday (6/16/18) at 4:30pm in the Central City - Mile High Ballroom DCCP3, if you're around, please come check it out! I'll have a large table with an awesome display spanning the generations of Transformers toys, from G1 to now, as well as TF comics and toys to give away! We'll go on a brief journey though comic and collectible history, and show how this new demographic of adult fans impacted that industry! We'll also have a short Q&A at the end, just in case you have a question about my presentation, my work at Seibertron, or my thoughts or opinions on anything that comes to mind! Would love to see you there!

Oh if I had some spending money for a plane ticket and time off I'd be tempted to go. You gotta take some pics of your booth for us!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to throw out one last reminder that yours truly will be hosting a Transformers/Toy industry panel is going to be THIS SATURDAY at Denver Comic Con! There are still saturday tickets available, but they're going fast! If you're in the area, please swing by! In addition to my talk, I'll have a table with a large Transformers diorama showing the evolution of Transformers design from G1 to now! I'll also host a Q&A session after the fact to ask me any questions you might have about Transformers, my talk, or my work on Seibertron. Come down, win some prizes, and hopefully learn something along the way! It'll be

Saturday (6/16/18) at 4:30pm in the Central City - Mile High Ballroom DCCP3

Check out my previous article for more details on the talk! Thanks Seibertronians!

If you live in or come across Montréal, come to MONTREAL COMICCON. From July 6th to July 8th.

Yours's truly will hold a panel about Transformers toys. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. I will compare toys that come from the same line, the same category. One would be an incredible one compared to one that is bafflingly designed. Me and my partner's English are not good enough to hold a bilingual panel. Beside, making in in both French and English would just make the thing less fun and spontaneous. So the panel will be in French only. But eh, come anyway if you don't understand French completely. You'll get the gist of it, I'm sure.

Part of the new direction that the Hasbro Transformers brand team is taking on the international stage, we have news that the team will be present at Comic Con Paris 2018 ( taking place in the French capital on October 26-28, official site here ). Along with the entirety of the event's programme, the source specifically points out that 'for toy collectors, [there will be] a Hasbro booth with new releases and lines from Star Wars Black Series, Marvel, Venom, Transformers and Bumblebee. And a panel where some exclusives will be revealed.'

While we do not know whether said exclusives are for the Bumblebee Movie, or any of the Transformers lines (such as War For Cybertron Siege, and those elusive Decepticons), this may be of interest to any fan thinking of taking part in the convention next month! We will make sure to update you all on any new reveals pertinent to our robot interests, of course, so stay tuned to Seibertron.com.

Pour les collectionneurs de #Toys, un stand @Hasbro avec des nouveautés et collectors #StarWars Black Series, #Marvel, #Venom, #Transformers et #Bumblebee. Et un panel où seront révélées des exclusivités. #ComicConParis

Please show Flywheels, please show Flywheels, please show Flywheels...

Hasbro needs stop playing and show off SS Bonecrusher.

We've received a notification of a guest reveal at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville this year, thanks to its organisers, featuring one of the staple voices of the Transformers franchise, but well known for his work in several other series: Frank Welker!

Read on more below, and head to the event's site for more information and tickets. The event runs on 12-14 July 2019, so you still have a decent amount of time.

Frank Welker is best known is best known for voicing iconic characters Fred Wilson and Scooby-Doo in the ScoobyDoo franchises which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2019. He is also Megatron in the Transformer series and movie franchises. In addition he has voiced hundred of other characters on series such as The Real Ghostbusters, Garfield, Futurama, The Smurfs, Aladdin, GI Joe, Super Friends and many more! which For his complete filmography click here to visit his imdb profile.

man I'd love to meet him! the guy is an iconic god of the voiceover world!!

I mean seriously, take the 80s alone, he was probably involved in 95% of the cartoons of that time...whether it was a main role, reacuring, guest spot or just growls for animals or monsters, he was everywhere!

of course I'd wanna meet him due to Megatron...but Fred is another iconic role, outside of the Pup Named Scooby Doo series, I think he's voiced Fred in every animated Scooby incarnation since it began in 1969, that's crazy!

not to mention Dr. Claw on Inspector Gadget, a voice he's used in numerous other properties as well including Soundwave!

anyway I'm jealous!
