Thanks to Simes for posting the following news / request concerning Auto Assembly 2008 on our Transformers Message Board.
Well, Auto Assembly 2008 is already shaping up to be something special and we can make our first announcement for the convention... Issue 9 of the convention fanzine The Cybertronian Times will feature an exclusive interview with Mark Ryan - the voice of Bumblebee in the live action movie!
While Bumblebee didn't have a great deal of dialogue in the film, Mark had a lot more involvement in the film than you might think... He worked on the throughout filming as the on-set voices of several different characters right into editing, prior to the actual casting of the main voice actors prior to his casting as Bumblebee. He then also voiced Ironhide and Hoist for Activision's game based on the film.
We're open to your suggestions for questions for Mark so feel free to post them on the Transformers Forum of Transformers At The Moon and we'll pick the best ones to send to him! As always, the fanzine will be available to pre-order for all attendees booking for the convention and a limited number of copies will be sold after the event subject to availability.
