Notes

  • Jack Angel was scheduled to show up for the "Stunti-Con Job" script reading to voice Breakdown, Ironfist, Rattletrap and the Autotroopers<ref>http://twitter.com/BotCon/status/79273508449955840</ref><ref>http://twitter.com/#!/Vangelus/status/79355702665166848</ref>, but due to his illness, Chris Ho (better known as Vangelus) filled in.
  • One unexpected guest (in more ways than one) was Abby Collins — the daughter of the late Chris Latta — who played Minerva in the "Stunti-Con Job" script reading.
  • Marty Isenberg and Derrick J. Wyatt participated in the Transformers Collectors' Club roundtable, and could be found freely wandering the floor.
  • For the first time in forever, the only exclusive toys that were leaked prior to the convention were the ones from the box set, which were intentionally revealed by Fun Publications anyway.
