Every year, the voice actors that show up for Botcon put on a script reading. The script for this year was called “Bee in the City”, written by S. Trent Troop and Greg Sepelak.

I have a rediculous amount of Transformers. I keep everything inventoried in an Excel spreadsheet. At last count, I had over 1200 figures, and that doesn’t include other collectibles such as kites, books, statues, etc. Also, I don’t count individual figures in a set: if several figures come in one box (mini-cons,...
