Wagner, 76, shared a series of photos on Instagram of her time at the convention, including a photo that showed she and Majors, 86.
“A few moments from Central Carolina Comic Con earlier this month,” the actress captioned the images.
Fans took to the comments to voice their excitement over the photo, with one writing, “❤️❤️I loved the Bionic Woman and the Six Million Dollar Man! ❤️ nice to see you both together!!!!”
Added another: “This makes me so happy.”
The actress was first introduced to the world as Steve Austin’s girlfriend Jaime Sommers in The Six Million Dollar Man in 1975. After making two guest appearances on the show, the character was killed off — but public reaction was so strong that the studio quickly offered Wagner her own spinoff series: The Bionic Woman.

Wagner recently spoke to PEOPLE to coincide with the show’s 50th anniversary, saying it was her younger sister’ Randi’s affection for Majors that first led her to the role.
“She’s 14 years younger than me, so back then I was young, she was very young, and that was her favorite show,” Wagner laughs.
When the opportunity came for Wagner to guest star in the show, she initially thought of turning it down — until her mom told her, “You cannot not do that show. That is your sister’s favorite show, period.”
