Fun Script Read

Details

We made a Script for TFCon LA but it never made it to the table. Thus we are doing a volunteer-based Casting Call so that the story may live on!

We will be reaching out to those who are chosen the weekend of November 21st, 2026 with more information.

Once the project is finished it will be posted on our Youtube/Podcast/and shown off at furture Conventions!

    Try-Out Dialogue: (Commanding) "It is our duty to get to them before the Predacons do. We can't risk them getting the upper hand on numbers."

    Try-Out Dialogue: (dodging an attack) "If you keep announcing your attacks like that, Megatron, I think I have a decent shot at stopping you!"

    Rhinox

    Try-Out Dialogue: (Digruntled) "The onboard computer sensors of the Axalon are reporting unidentified errors both outside our doorstep and a few miles south of here. And on top of THAT, I lost the coordinates of the field of crashed pods we were looking for."

    Side Burn

    Line Count : 19

    Try-Out Dialogue: (Daydreaming) "Why couldn't it be something more interesting, like if I turn this wrench to the left, it opens a portal to a world of fancy red sports cars?"

    Try-Out Dialogue: (Dusts hands off) "Oh well, we tried. Let's turn this machine off and be grateful Megatron won't be a problem for us anymore."

    Slapper

    Try-Out Dialogue: (Distracted) "There's like more of them than there are of us, One Autobot, Two Autobots, Three Autobots, wait, hold still, uhhh how do I count the Holo-Projection? Half? One?"
