While we are still several months away, two guests have already been announced for this year's show. With "buzz" surrounding the new
Bumblebee movie, you'll get a chance to meet the man who first voiced him in the original
Transformers animated series!
Dan Gilvezan will be on hand for autographs along with his book
Bumblebee and Me: Life as a G1 Transformer. During his nearly 40 year acting career, Gilvezan has also voice Peter Parker/Spider-man in
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends along with other animated roles in
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero,
Jem,
Sectaurs, and
Pound Puppies.
Melendy Britt was a late cancellation for Retro Con 2018, but she is back on the guest list for 2019! Britt is best known as the voice of Princess Adora/She-Ra in the original
She-Ra, Princess of Power animated series. She also voiced several other characters in the series as well as roles in other cartoons like G1
Transformers,
Plastic Man,
The New Adventures of Batman,
