Botcon have announced their fifth guest as Generation One voice actor Neil Ross. Mr Ross supplied the voice for Springer, Hook, Slag,
and Bonecrusher in the original series.
BotCon has annouced it's fourth guest as Morgan Loftin, better known to many of as as The Baroness from the original GI Joe / Action Force cartoon series.
She voiced Firestar and Moonracer, two of the female Autobots in the G1 episode "The Search for Alpha Trion".
Though a bit of an off Transformers guest, having the voice of the original Baroness set to voice Drag Strip at the BotCon script reading will be interesting.
Botcon have announced their 2nd voice actor guest as none other than Generation One Grimlock voice actor Gregg Berger. Greg will be joining David Kaye at the event which takes place next month. If this line-up of guests at a Transformers Convention in 2011 seems familiar then you are not mistaken, both of these men will be in attendance at the Europe's largest Transformers Convention Auto Assembly in August.
Botcon have announced their second guest for the 2011 event, Flint Dille. Here is a copy of the announcement
FLINT DILLE has
spent most of his creative life on the porous border between the game
business and the film business. He has designed games with Gary Gygax
and written movies for Steven Spielberg. His friend, Frank Miller,
immortalized him as Dillios (a Spartan-ization of Dille), the narrator
in 300. Flint has twice won 'Game Script of the Year' (Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and Dead to Rights and is up for awards for Ghostbusters and Dark Athena.
He has worked on numerous franchises including Transformers (writer on Transformers: The Movie), G.I. Joe, James Bond, Batman (in Guinness Book of Videogame Records for having created the first Batman villain outside of the comics), Superman, Dungeons & Dragons, American Tail, Teen Titans, Scooby-Doo (writing a story about the guy who made all of those rubber costumes) and is the grandson of the originator of Buck Rogers.
He has a degree in Ancient History from U.C. Berkeley and an MFA from
USC. He is also a consultant to the intelligence community.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet Flint at the
2011 BotCon in Pasadena, Calif. for autographs and a very special panel
on Saturday, June 4th!
David Kaye updated his Twitter account with the following announcement:
"Will be appearing @BotCon this year. Friday June 3 1 to about 4. Look forward to seeing you there!"
This was then followed by the Botcon Twitter account also tweeting in reference to the first voice actor guest announcement for the event
"Looks like @dkayevo broke the news! David Kaye will be at BotCon 2011 for autographs and a very special panel. Details coming later!"
For those UK'ers and European who can not attend Botcon do not fear as David will be attending this years Auto Assembly so you will have another chance to meet the voice of Megatron and Optimus Prime
BotCon have tweeted that now 75% of Generation Two Ramjets and 50% of Animated Cheetors have now gone.
They have also hinted at another Transformers Animated Beast Warsfigure at BotCon, saying Cheetor will be a must have for anyone who will be BotCon. His Souvenir partner won't look right without him!
The Transformers Collectors Club have updated their website to take orders for Cheetor and G2 Ramjet as of about 10 minutes ago. Unfortunately the Fun Publications servers are already started to creek under the strain and appear to have issues validating international credit cards, though I encourage you to keep trying, personally I ended up using a debit card that it could authorise.
The website also has the habit of kicking you out so make sure that its remembered that you have signed in if you are a member and are trying to order
Following up from yesterday's video update, the Auto Assembly team have issued the following press release

latest.
