TFCon 2016 Guest Suggestion Thread!

It would be great to get in some of the G1 writers like David Wise (he wants to attend TFCon!), Flint Dille, Bryce Malek, Don F. Glut, Doug Booth, Buzz Dixon and Ron Friedman.

I've seen Barry Gordon on some Youtube stuff, and he's a great guy to listen to. You can tell he loves what he does, and enjoys telling the stories and still doing the voices.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't do conventions, or wouldn't try if he hasn't been invited.

Although he has no TF voice credit, I was thinking he would be great for the Sunday of TFcon weekend, since the Sunday is technically advertised as an 80's toy show (while the Saturday is the Transformers show).

Hope he at least gets asked by the TFcon organizers.

He does indeed do conventions (and happily so). Often times he appears at shows alongside the rest of his Ninja Turtle cast mates Rob Paulsen, Cam Clarke, Townsend Coleman, Peter Renaday and Renae Jacobs.

Sunday?
Saturday?

Dude, you forgot about Friday!
TFcon is a 3day event!

It would be nice to see Hasbro Canada show up so we could get some answers from them

Not going to happen at a TFcon since he didn't voice any TF characters, but might make sense for an 80s Toy Expo or Ontario Collectors Con one day show appearance in the future.

Steve Blum and or Michael Dobson

I met Steve Blum last year finally. He is an amazing guest and one that holds awesome panels. He's an absolute must!

You know what would be awesome? Since it's the 20th anniversary on BW, why not get some of the people from Mainframe who worked on BW. Not just voice actors, but a writer and like a director or something.

I recall someone on one of the other boards contacted someone who worked on BW when BotCon first revealed that their Predacus guys were red and there was the whole controversy of what color they actually are versus what color they look in the one and only scene they appear in in the cartoon(not including BW2). They still clearly recalled everything about that scene and challenges they had with it 20 years later.

It would be awesome to hear the different perspectives of creating an episode of the show, which was so groundbreaking at the time. We always hear from voice actors about what it's like in the recording sessions and how they got their start in the business. And we occasionally hear the same kind of things from writers. But we never hear from the people who provide the visuals and music to the show.

I like that idea! Bw molded my childhood.
