TFNation have kicked off the holidays with two great new announcements. First and foremost, they have announced their next guest for TFNation 2017, Mr John-Paul Bove!
John-Paul Bove is perhaps best known to the fandom for his excellent work as a colorist for IDW. He has lent his talents to many series, including Transformers Regeneration 1 and Drift: Empire of Stone. He has also delved into writing with IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Botcon 2016 story Rise of the Predacus. Most recently, he has been turning his talent to breathing glorious full-color life into the old black and white Marvel UK Transformers stories for their publication in Hachette’s Transformers Definitive Collection.
Second, TFNation have announced their ticket arrangements and when more information will be revealed, leading up to the opening of pre-registration for this year’s show on February 1st, 2017. There has been confirmation of weekend passes, along with Saturday and Sunday day passes for those who can only attend on one of the weekend days. There is also advance warning of a possible price increase, which will be confirmed in advance of ticket preregistration opening. See TFNation’s announcement for full details.
TFNation 2017 will be taking place over the weekend of August 11 – 13, 2017, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole in Birmingham in the UK. John-Paul Bove will be joining his fellow colorist Josh Perez as a guest along with IDW artist Jack Lawrence, and other guests yet to be announced including a voice actor guest to be announced on January 1st. Check out the TFNation homepage for more information.

Operation: Two guest announcements?
The TFNation crew wish you all a Merry Christmas and, in celebration of this festive season, we have two announcements lined up, across the holidays. The first is to announce that one of our most popular guests will be returning for next year’s event.
JOHN-PAUL BOVE to attend TFNation 2017
Currently bringing colour to classic UK stories as part of Hachette’s Hachette Transformers: The Definitive Collection, John-Paul Bove is not only an extremely talented colourist and writer, but his positive and engaging approach to meeting members of the Transformers community represents much of what the TFNation team work towards…. So it’s no surprise that JP is the first returning guest we are pleased to announce!
John-Paul was the principle colourist for Transformers: ReGeneration One, including its’ stunning issue zero, Drift: Empire of Stone, several Bot Con comics and a host of cover colours for many other IDW transformer titles. Outside of Transformers, John-Paul’s work has graced subjects including G.I. Joe, Dr Who, Action Man and Judge Dredd.
As a writer he has lent his talents to the likes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as the Beast Wars BotCon 2016 story "Dawn of the Predacus. He has also written and coloured his own independent one-shot comic, UNEARTH – UnEarth – Comics by comiXology
If that news doesn’t leave you full of cheer this festive season, just image JP and Perez, sat in our convention, cooking up mischief….. good isn’t it?
Present no.2? Well that is the announcement of our first voice actor guest for TFNation 2017. Expect that gift to be flying your way, on 1st January.
