It is a lot easier to listen to this at home than it was while sitting/standing/etc. in the hotel room, while having to keep quiet.

Superman/Batman…that's the one with the current(I think it's still the same one) Supergirl's introduction.
There was a clump of reserved tables that had no one at them, but they were away from the action, so doesn't matter too much.
Megatron's was Metallica's Seek & Destroy.
Grimlock-Godzilla's theme.
Saw Stan Bush, bought his CD, and he signed it for me.
There has been a bit of a Bumblebee overload, and yes, I think the name was lost for a while, not to mention the whole issue with Volkswagen.

Actually Ochtar I think
Ratchet was originally going to be female(named after Nurse Ratchet) and other possible names included Greasefinger and Cool Hand Lube. Hasbro informed him that they were all male since it was a “boy's toy.” He'd give a few different names, sometimes with a few bad ones to promote the one he really wanted.
The issue with Runabout and Runamuck even got him a fan letter from Stan Lee. He drew a few of the covers, although he prefers drawing women rather than robots.

They are still working on the CG models, which they are designing in such a way so they don't cheat the transformation, and also so there can be damage to them.
Bumblebee vehicle mode too, looks similar to his movie car mode.

For Perceptor someone in the audience suggested Trailbreaker.
Highbrow apparently has a P on it, as well as a tarantula and pretzel on the tail that is a reference to one of the designers ancestors.

Power Core Combiners- Dinobots one limb is an Ankylosaur, another is a Pachycephalosaurus, can't recall the body or other limbs.

Looking forward to the second half, as I passed out during it.

Planet Hulk was another Marvel Animated feature that was more recent.

I’d forgotten about that one, still need to see it. I think the fact that it was another Hulk one didn’t help it stand out.
