in addition to the awesome toys, comics artists, voice actors, kick ass panels and more, i have to say i took great pride in seeing the fangirls there. when chatting up several of them i learned that most were pretty young, and introduced to transformers through the recent movie, then went back to watch the G1 cartoon or else got hooked in animated. others seem to be die hard comic readers too. for a lot it seemed like this was their first botcon ever, and i hope they keep coming.
certain fanboys can be all sorts of awesome, don't get me wrong! but seeing the base of people supporting transformers grow makes me so happy. i may be older than a lot of them, but i am proud be counted among their ranks. as it shows in the picture above, the voice actors being swamped by the ladies for hugs had to be the cutest thing i have seen so far at the cons.
*laughs* I spy my hat. And boy, did we fangirls mob for those hugs or what? Michael gave me a reeeeally good one. *totally unashamed*
I definitely plan on adding Botcon as a yearly thing to do.
