I would’ve loved to have watched this in person! So proud of you guys.

[@KeejTV]

The first Transformers convention panel to feature a live ransom! Ultra gear!!!

[@connordriftthesamurai8953]

Nice panel. I was there in person and loved the jokes 😂 Really fun. The Alfonso part was unexpected but it wasn’t too bad. I wish Jobby could’ve been on the panel too

[@transformandgobricks7820]

13:00 I can't believe were actually seeing UltraPrimal in real life!

[@emperorkumquat]

39:45 - 40:10 Sorry I did you like that Keyan 😂

[@KeyanCarlile]

That was literally my favorite part of this panel.

[@KadenKenz]

Keyan would truly never recover from this!! (lol) It only makes sense the Aligned informat would know the exact episode.

[@ThatToyGuy]

Road rage

[@tophattea679]

Love it, wish TFN would host community led panels like this

[@KadenKenz]

Vangelus definitely had my favorite energy in the room, Emperor following right after and then Alfonso.

I'll be honest here, I joined the panel so I'd know what Transformers content there is on KZbin. And now I'm binging.

12:07 LET'S GO ULTRA!

[@johnofark]

Absolutely the best weekend of my life. I’ll never forget the firm grip of his soft hand, the sincere look in his shiny eyes, and that ever-so resilient grin on his face. This man, and this character, lives in the deepest depths of my heart, and I’ll cherish this day forever. Love you always, Peter Cullen. Till all are one. 🥹❤💙🔥👑🐐🙏🏽 #Transformers #PeterCullen #OptimusPrime

That's my Pretender form. My robot mode is a little too big for fit in the panel room. And I kept getting stopped in my Titanmaster form with people wanting to take pictures of my "costume"

Were you asked to do the panel or did you guys come up with an idea to do one? I wanna do one of these ;-;

Well that was weird!

My face scrunched up when I heard Alfonzo’s mom mention him lmao

I was there. That wasn’t his mom. It was some other lady in the front

@@Nicks-Hobby-Shelves I mean Alfonso did crash their panel whether or not it was his mom or some random lady pressuring the people to say yes. He stayed up there too, when he couldve respected the panelists and understood that they had a whole plan before he suddenly arrived, and returned to the crowd. You do realize he has a pair of legs right? You really like putting the blame on everyone but Alfonso, which I can't blame you for because you're so buddy buddy with him and you only pay attention to his reasoning

[@nitrostormskystriker478]

Why does Ultra look so old?!

[@yautjaxenomorph9472]

Dont know any of these youtubers except the one on the far right. Seen 1 or 2 videos of his. I wuz expectin sumone like Rodimus Primal, Protoman of Slags Podcast, Paik4Life, Emgo, DeluxeBaldwin, BobbySkullface, T-Man. TMreviews, or Jobby, etc. Etc

[@connordriftthesamurai8953]

Ironically enough, Alfonso wasn’t even supposed to be there and yet was the best part of the panel for me. 😂 Loved the advice he gave for creators. I would’ve loved for Jobby or a few other larger names to be included too tho

Yeah, as I remember, the random lady pushed him to do it, and everyone was too nice to say no.

[@LapisBlock]

@@Nicks-Hobby-Shelves You do realize he can speak for himself and say "No, this panel didn't include me, I'm just here to watch." Whether that person is his mom or not, it's still weird. All the people on the panel are in front of an audience and being recorded so there's a lot of pressure already lol

Lmao, are you telling me Alfonso shouldn’t be up there in the first place ?😂

[@jobobbob5825]

Pretty pathetic how everyone was so spineless as to not do anything about Alfonso

[@emperorkumquat]

Panelists are expected to create a fun an welcoming environment for their attendees. When you are in front of 100-200 people, you should be conscious of preserving the harmony. That means a positive attitude and avoiding awkward situations all around. Almost everyone there including myself had never done a panel before, and we were respectful of Vangelus, a very experienced panelist and an important member of TFcon who we agreed beforehand would be our director. We politely allowed Vangelus to make the call. We were also uncertain of what we should decide because we had an extra chair intended for ComodinCam, who couldn't make it. To be honest, I didn't know who Alfonso was. I did think it was incredibly rude to sneak onto a panel you weren't part of planning even if there was an extra seat. I was hoping Vangelus would say no, but he said yes in order to keep the harmony. I understand that. But after we learned what Alfonso was really like, Vangelus decided that all future calls will be "no" for unplanned extra panelists. I respect everyone on the originally intended panel. We are polite and mature people who value the experience of the attendees. Although Alfonso cost us a lot of time, the attendees were still able to have an enjoyable experience. That matters more than anything else. Unfortunately, Alfonso puts himself before the attendees and thus he is not compatible with our group. That, we are certain of now.

[@jobobbob5825]

​@@emperorkumquat Should have put the chair away then. Lack of action just made it ackward for those involved.
