Peter Cullen Voicing Optimus Prime (1984 - 2023) | Transformers TV Shows and Movies

[@PixelaGames2000]

Peter Cullens voice is one of the best there is, I could listen to his Optimus voice for hours.

[@LeonardMosca]

My sentiments exactly what a fantastic job he did 😊

[@therenamonstan]

Peter Cullen is the kind of person who just improves with age. Like wine, cheese, and chocolate.

[@comicbookreviewer4856]

I do admit nick offerman would always be my second pick for a transformers movie close to G1 and the Image comics as his voice would fit close to Peter Cullen the sameway Matt jones does with starscream

[@DevasiaMentalityGaming]

Hard disagree. Everything he's done since being away from the role for 20 years just sounds so lifeless to me, he's completely lost that "fatherly" character and now has only 2 modes; wisdom spewer and angry old man.

[@TheRandom1631]

​@DevasiaMentalityGaming *"give me your face"*

[@richardched6085]

Aged chocolate almost killed me once 😆

[@maxxgunner5573]

Agreed. Between his young voice in the 80s and his old voice in the 2000s and onwards, I like and grew up with his old voice, fits his character more as a kind and old and wise super soldier.

[@mmrproductions3176]

It’s crazy to think that he has voiced this character for almost 40 years. From the 80s in 1984 to now all the way to now in 2023. Major respect to this guy for sticking around for so long.

[@Delzord]

It's great he's been able to retain the character for so many years due to his voice being so iconic.

[@chrisedwards3214]

Mel Blanc voiced the looney toons from the 1930s til ge died in 1989

[@Local-Of-The-Mitten-State]

He’s 83 and he still wants to keep doing it, despite people criticising him for his age.

[@waterisgood3689]

ppl are criticizing his age?

[@B-SybrZaku-ThendHaloAirsofting]

@@waterisgood3689people that cannot cope with minor changes

[@Spider-Sonic_Prime]

Oh yeah? Well those people can take their shit and stick it up their asses! Peter Cullen's performance as Optimus Prime is amazing no matter how old he is!

[@MoonLight-q4r]

criticising him for his age? Do they think he can Control time so he doesn’t age anymore?

[@halkras]

hes close to join the allspark but still kicks it (same as Goku's japanese VA,shes 88 year old)

[@SWDude2710]

I love how gentle and soft spoken he sounds in the 2007 movie, since it was his return to the role after many years. His voice in the later film honestly sounds even more incredible as he manages to express more emotion and personality as a war weary, scarred and battle hardener veteran and a truly wise, kind and loyal father figure than most of the human actors in thr films, one of the best aspects of these films for sure.

[@Fnafking1234]

Peter Cullen is the goat many people including myself look up to him and Optimus Prime he has put his heart and soul into the character and many others and I aspire to be like him one day

[@green-legacy]

the dark of the moon one sent shivers down my body 😅

[@JacksonLane02]

Crazy Cullen has voicd Prime for this long and so far 0 ways of it ending and him being done voicing Prime. He is Optimus Prime. If he retires or passes then good luck to whomever voices Optimus Prime cause oh boy it's gonna be extremely tough to replace Cullen as Prime

[@RAZGRIZ016P]

I really wish Garry Chalk or David Kaye to take that position

[@Delzord]

If and when he does, I would like him to pass the torch to someone who gives a new take on Optimus rather than someone who is imitating Peter Cullen's iconic voice.

[@aaronsalvador8943]

@@Delzordyeah obvi mimicking cullen’s version would dissapoint and trick the fans

[@clogs4956]

For me, Garry is Optimus Primal; David is Megatron II. And, yes: I’ve met both actors.

[@theelderscrollsnerdysgramo7180]

It will be like Kevin Conroy

[@wd3185]

It's crazy to think the 2007 movie was the first time since the original cartoon that Peter Cullen had voiced Optimus.

[@Liam-wg1nn]

He is getting older, you can sorta heard it in the performance.

[@ethanloming001]

It's a good and bad thing for what I can say. The good is that he sound more and more like a war veteran that Optimus is supposed to be. The bad? we know that he's getting old, and will one day leave us, for good. I'm not trying to sound rude, but I will absolutely cry when the day we lose our beloved Peter Cullen. I can only pray for many more years of him.

[@Howza_the_lego_guy7784]

Yes, but they also wanted him to sound older, he can still do the g1 voice, he does it at every con and it sounds almost exactly the same.

[@JacobNGames]

No shit.

[@simchinweebryan1249]

At least Peter Cullen is such a legendary voice actor for Optimus Prime, even though he stopped voicing him from 1980s to 2007! Very nostalgic to hear Peter Cullen’s Optimus Prime voice for many years!

[@Delzord]

[@JacksonLane02]

All of them but If I had to choose one then either gen 1 rise of the Beasts or Transformers prime

[@aaronsalvador8943]

Probably generation 1 and rise of the beasts

Peter Cullen always makes Optimus sound awesome even in the worst of Transformers films.

[@Norange-Juice]

i really love how peter does a lighter tone of voice for transformers prime than what he was doing in the movies

[@Kanna.7]

Bro, he really become a Truck since 1984

[@blueherostudios8591]

Oh my goodness, his voice sounds very different in Generation 1!

[@Howza_the_lego_guy7784]

One thing that pisses me off is that people say “ohh he sounds so old, you can really tell h is older” ITS BECAUSE THEY WANTED HIM TO SOUND OLDER, HE CAN STILL DO THE G1 VOICE HE DOES IT AT EVERY CON HE GOES TO.

[@Jay-ms4vb]

I love peter cullen. My favorite show was tranformers prime loved his lines in there. Just the design of prime in transformers prime is so good. They knew what they were doing when they said cullen got the role of prime

[@castleguard_of_xbox360]

I agree I agree I agree

[@Spider-Sonic_Prime]

Peter Cullen's performance as Optimus Prime is amazing no matter which movie, TV show, video game, etc.

[@DrakeKing98]

The transformers : The Movie (1986) the best optimus voice. Sounds menacing, deeper and calms.🎉

[@stephenhobbins4895]

Peter Cullen is the best voice of Optimus Prime from The Transformers (TV Series 1984-1987) to Transformers Rise of the Beasts 2023 Autobots Roll Out. ❤️💙🤖🚚 and I like The Autobots. 😃😁

[@jacenwade]

I notice that Peter’s voice rally got that waaay deeper tone between Predacons rising and Age of Extinction. Course with his voice it only gets cooler with age, I just hope he’s taking care of himself so he can keep doing Prime for as long as he wants to.

I wish you included the video games. His performance in Devastation is one of my favorites.

Fun fact: He was also the voice of KARR in 1984, and he reprised his role as the same character in a Ford Mustang in 2008.

[@EV_Comics]

Transformers Prime is easily his best performance in my opinion. He's so kind sounding with friends, but firm when talking to enemies.

[@tsuaririndoku]

You know, if Cullen is gone. So does Optimus Prime. I can’t think of anyone to replace him tbh. Sure, there will be some people who can voice Optimus Prime. But Cullen’s voice will be my number 1 no matter what. Which I think, we should he prepare for it. We don’t know when it will happen, but we also need to be prepared if that day is happening. Our Darkest Hour. I hope Hasbro will either promote someone to be a new Prime to lead the Autobots. Or, making Optimus having his fitting end with a massive bang.

[@East_Coast_Toasty_Boy]

0:35 This sounds HEEEEELA SUS 💀💀💀💀💀

[@Wazzaworld_XD]

He's probably in the toilet after having taco bell

[@godzilla5611]

He kinda sounds like Liam Neeson in Revenge of the Fallen

[@rileylappin6588]

He even makes Optimus Prime sound normal in the terrible animation of Rescue Bots.

[@MavisSongbird]

There's just something about G1 Optimus that even the new versions of Peter roles do not capture.

[@alobaymar]

Notice how the first 5 films Peter was given such a professional acting coach to sound as realistic and powerful here, all to be thrown down in the prequels for amatuer acting coaches to strain Peter's voice to do the stupid cartoon overexaggerated dialogue.
