I'm not going to restated all my complaints with FanExpo, like how everything is grossly overpriced and how any celebrity that you really want to see you have to buy a special ticket just to see their panel or get their autograph, but I will point out any Transformers related guests:

Jeffrey Combs(Prime Ratchet)

Steve Blum(Prime Starscream as well as many other characters in recent games and series)

Troy Baker(various characters in the recent games and RiD)

Nolan North(Prime Smokescreen, Skylynx, and various characters in recent games)

Tara Strong(Animated Sari Sumdac)

Tom Kenny(Animated Starscream, Wasp, Isaac Sumdac, and more)

Grey DeLisle(RotF Arcee)

If there's any I missed, speak up.


I don't know if I'll be going. Really depends if local peeps want to go, if they're going, when, how long, etc. One year they just wanted to go 1 day. Next year they went the whole weekend, hotel and everything. I almost definitely won't be going Thursday or Friday. Can't afford to take time off work right now. Maybe Saturday or Sunday. If at all. Between gas, parking and admission, it'll cost me over $100 just to walk in the door.

I wasn't planning on going this year, but the guest line up is very solid.

The announcement of Troy Baker, Nolan North, and Ming Na wen's convinced me that I should go at least 1 day.

Yeah, it's hit that tipping point for me now.

Back when I was making minimum wage at the turn of the millennium, I was able to afford more.

Now even after finishing post-secondary education, and on my 2nd "big boy" job. The prices are getting out of my reach.

In my case it's the fact that I have an overseas trip in November that I should really be holding my money for, and the fact that I don't really wanna ask for any more days off at work...

The fact that EVERYONE charges no matter who they are at FanExpo just means I have to be more choosy about whom I see there...

Whats the best day to go? As in the least busy? No-one likes waiting in line for 4 hours to get in.

Bare in mind if you're going because of the guests, some are not there for the entire weekend.

Most should be there for the 2 busiest days, Friday and Saturday.

Also I'm not sure if they'll ever run into that "full capacity" problem from a few years ago again. They are using BOTH North and South buildings. If they do run into the "full capacity" mayhem again, not sure where they'll expand to, and how much more admission will be by then.

[Protoman]

I'd like to go, but with a clusterfuck show like that, if I don't have a VIP pass or something to avoid the insanity. I can't even be bothered.

[RageD]

That's my thinking as well......is it really worth the bother...

Anyone been on Thursday?
