We are happy to present our third celebrity guest for RetCon 2024, our first Swedish voice actor – the legend Per Sandborgh. One of Sweden’s most versatile voice actors, possibly best known for his voice as The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series, but he has done many voices for Transformers too, in both the Generation 1 and Generation 2 dubs, including for example Optimus Prime in the VHS dub of The Ultimate Doom.

In September 2024 we are arranging RetCon 2024, the sixth edition of the Nordic Transformers convention. Just like last year, it is held at Elite Hotel Ideon in Lund, in southern Sweden. The convention takes place on 28 September, and the doors open at 10:00.
As before there will be celebrity guests, vendors, quizzes, competitions, activities, panels, and a lot more! Last year we were able to present our first voice actors as celebrity guests, and we have invited another one for RetCon 2024!
David Kaye is a real veteran with 35 years in the voice acting business. For Transformers, he has been doing voices since 1996, starting with none other than Megatron (Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, Transformers: Cybertron). He switched sides to voice Optimus Prime in Transformers: Animated in 2007, and has done numerous other voices in Transformers: Animated, Transformers Prime, and Transformers: Robots in Disguise!
We have also invited the artist Lee Sullivan, who did some 40 covers for Marvel UK’s British Transformers comic and for Titan Books’ TFUK collections, as well as the interior art for some 20 stories for both the British Transformers comic, Panini’s Transformers: Armada comics, BotCon 2000‘s convention comic, and more.
