[@Gojirawars03]

Frank and Peter are both such fantastic people. This award was long overdue, and it’s always so nice to see how close of a bond the two of them share.

[@jwelch5742]

Frank Welker began his career as a stand-up comedian and impressionist in 1967. Frank Welker claims to have dated actress Pamela Sue Martin and his Tom and Jerry Kids and Droopy, Master Detective co-star Teresa Ganzel.

[@BatMane95]

Never thought I'd see the day that Megatron gave Optimus Prime an award, but I'm glad that I have

[@blueraccoon1088]

You should see foxitron prime

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

"Be strong enough to be gentle".... those words right there are beyond brilliant.

[@TheZamaron]

I'm literally crying from this it was pbjectivally the best awards moment in all of history and will never be topped, Peter Cullen of any actor deserved this award the most. Glad he FINALLY got what he deserved for so many years.

[@Dynex658]

All these years, and Frank still sounds like late 60s-early 70s Fred.

[@richardwalther6229]

If only regular actors were as humble and classy as these fine voice actors. Peter and Frank are legends, plain and simple.

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

all voice actors & actresses are all wonderful people. 😊

[@kungpaocanine]

Well-deserved win for Peter Cullen. Always loved him both as Eeyore and Optimus Prime. And having Frank Welker present the award is special. Thank you for uploading the video!

[@alwaysabiggafish3305]

Love how optimus's line from the original movie has stayed as his catchphrase. Even though he got killed off he must be so proud of it

[@sdugwad]

We can always count on you, Amber, probably the world’s biggest Frank Welker fan, and of Peter Cullen too!

[@freak8385]

I can`t say I ever met this man, cause it would be a lie but for me this man is and always will be Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime and Megatron sharing a stage for something good...Mr.Cullen deserves this so much.

[@tomoliver4756]

Having met Peter before at Comic Con Liverpool back in 2020, I can never be any happier than I already am for witnessing him being earned the Lifetime Achievement. Till All Are One. :⁠^⁠)

[@Cloud3214]

Two of the last remaining originals was heartbroken when Kevin Conroy died. I’m going to be devastated the day Peter Cullen passes and Frank as well of course.

[@eliasrumie1473]

May God bless him and protect him,He deserve this.

[@MrMyNameIsHaha]

From Transformers, to Toonami, Peter is the epitome of our childhood, and no one is such more deserving of the award than him. Also like to give credit to Frank Welker, he was like the Mark Hamill to Peter's Kevin Conroy, such a wonderful chemistry that stood the best of time.

[@ploberbro797]

Thank you for all the memories you've provided to me and the countless others who love your work. We love you, Peter aka Optimus Prime. You'll always be my hero! 1984 and beyond

[@wwetnabamafan194]

It was an absolute full circle moment! Megatron got the award from Optimus Prime in 2016, and now he's returning the favor. Just a wonderful moment! 😃

Man, that speech from Frank Welker was beautiful. Definitely got teary eyed listening to him, and then just about full on cried when Peter Cullen gave his speech. So glad I got to hear so many voices from these two men as I've grown up.

[@Strata-GEE13]

Petter Cullen and Frank Welker are the greatest animated voice actors of all time.love them both.

[@felixcuthbert2719]

The nearest thing to a Knighthood. God Bless You, Peter Cullen Sir.

[@douglasmiller6779]

I can't think of a better person to give the award to Peter , Frank has become his best friend. This was long overdue😭❤️

[@AngelusNielson]

I am glad to see my childhood voices getting the respect they deserve.

[@floydbelljr.2119]

Congratulations, Peter Cullen! You & Frank Welker were terrific voice actors for many years, but I'd sure wish that "The Transformers" cartoon series would have 4 more seasons. But you've both been a great inspiration to all of us & I'm sure they'll be more voice actors & actresses to help keep the legacy alive. So thank you, Peter & Frank for those wonderful years of great cartoons. 'TIL ALL ARE ONE! 😉👍🏆🎬🎥🎙👄🌎🎧🌟🗽

[@floydbelljr.2119]

Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime : "AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!" 🚛 Frank Welker as Megatron : "DECEPTICONS, TRANSFORM AND RISE UP!" ✈

Love that both Frank gave Peter the award

[@lmsagun]

thank you Sir

[@eliasjohnson101]

Mr. Peter Cullen & Frank Welker ❤ My Favorite Legends Forever ❤️❤️❤️

[@jawanzamarsh3867]

Other actors have been great at that favorite Cybertronian hero in their own way, but when I think of Optimus Prime, it will always be the great Peter Cullen's voice that embodies Prime for me. The same is true of his longtime pal Frank Welker when I think of that malevolent arch rival Megatron. You two greats have shaped many childhoods back during the time of the original show of the franchise, including mine. Thank you both for the wonderful memories growing up. From Mighty Man and Yukk to the various versions of Scooby Doo back then (Mr Welker) to Winnie the Pooh (Mr Cullen) to Dunjeons and Dragons (Mr Cullen) to the Smurfs to of course The Transformers. You both are truly masters. Congrats Mr Peter Cullen on gaining this honor for your dedication in entertaining generations of kids all these years.

[@Gamex-Frontiers]

For the last Prime and the Mighty Gladiator of Keon, they do respect each other.

[@TBevill1231]

Well deserved to the voice of a generation. Whether as Optimus, Eeyore, Monterrey Jack, or even his narration of Toonami and other shows, Peter’s voice will be remembered forever.

[@SamanthamusPrimeV28050]

Wow. 😮 I honestly never expected Frank Welker to know so much about Peter Cullen. Well... that's a good thing for a friend.

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

Frank said Peter is like a father to him, but Peter is only a couple years older haha

[@SamanthamusPrimeV28050]

@@Sarah_Gravydog316 yeah. True. Makes sense. I honestly saw Frank Welker as a younger brother to Peter Cullen.

[@user-qf8dp4mi3k]

I think that I'm very, very proud of Peter Cullen! Because he is an Immortal legend!!!!!

[@diegodavilafritsch4430]

Till all are one

[@ChakatStripedfur]

What made him so great as the voice of Optimus Prime, was that he took his brother's words to heart. He didn't treat it as just a character from a kids cartoon, he treated it with real gravitas and humbleness, and that's what made Optimus Prime great. You could hear the hero in his voice every time he did it, the weariness of the world yet the hope that kept him going. Honestly he should've received this award a long time ago, but better late than posthumously. First he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame now he finally got his Lifetime Achievement Award. I just know that every time he did that voice, Larry would be looking down on him from heaven and smiling.

[@kornfreak78]

Peter Cullen has always and will forever always be my ALL TIME favorite voice actor. That man is the voice of my childhood. I'm so glad he received the Lifetime Achievement Award. So well deserved! Peter if you ever happen to stumble upon this comment.. THANK YOU for doing what you do, Sir.

[@adamflynn5859]

I watched this twice. This was well deserved but way overdue. Peter is an amazing person and one of the most iconic voice actors of all time.

[@edaniels240]

Most highly deserving. Congratulations

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

TIL ALL ARE ONE!

[@MarkLLawrence]

I grew up listening to them on Transformers. I remember a classmate that came to school after watching The Transformers Movie and he was crying that Optimus died (I won't name names even after this long lol). We thought he was joking but nope! And then I was there at Anime Expo 2007, Long Beach CA. We got to see the first live action Transformers Movie a few days early. The crowd went nuts when Optimus showed up and spoke his first lines. This man was a part of many of our childhoods and this honor is just a smidgen of the recognition he definitely deserves.

[@benhughes3394]

I'm so proud of you, Eeyore man. Peter Cullen as Eeyore: Thanks for winning me achievement.

[@Raccoon-Formers]

Peter is a legend he 100% deserves this award. I’d love to share this on my channel how should I do that, uploading the speech or making a community post?

I hate to say it, but that’s the wrong crowd, had it been a crowd of kids and young adults brought up with transformers from the 80’s or from the early 2000’s the cheers and screams would never end. I’m so glad frank welker was the one to give it to him. Best friend and colleague in his major roles it fits that he be the one to gift him the reward. Till all are one, god bless Peter Cullen.

[@AmberTheFangirl]

Its mainly industry professionals in the crowd, a lot of them aren't voice actors. I've heard louder cheers for them at a comic con lol You can hear someone scream YES FRANK at the start though hahah
