The Untold Truth Of The Voice Behind Optimus Prime 

What other characters would you have liked to hear Peter Cullen do the voice for?

Peter Cullen IS OPTIMUS PRIME!

The Prime, the myth, the legend himself! "Roll Out!"

I met him 19 years ago at Cybercon Expo in NYC. Great and funny guy. Got him to sign an animation cell from my favorite episode, “The Return of Optimus Prime Part 2.” Got that with a DVD of the second half of the third season from Rhino Entertainment. One of the greatest days of my life. 😃

Peter Cullen James Earl Jones Nancy Cartwright They are the voices for 3 generations

I love him!!! He is the reason why OP is Alive!!! Please him and Gary voice the OPs together for once!!!!

Gary Chalk Was Optimus Prime/Optimus Primal for my Generation of Transformers sans Transformers Robots In Disguise (2001) on Fox Kids which was Neil Kaplain but Gary Chalk held that role tight for 10 years and watched People like Mike Judge, Seth MacFarlane, Dan Castellaneta, H. Jon Benjamin and Trey Parker and Matt Stone voice the same characters for a long ass time

I recently meet Peter Cullen a month ago and I can full out say. He's the best damn person on this planet and I recommend anyone meet this Ledgend!!!

@Looper,did you say Edward Cullen he-should have voiced young Optimus Prime in" Transformers One",ha?.

Will forever remember the first Transformers movie with Megan Foxx. Was my childhood

Peter Cullen is a national treasure.

He is the best and only Optimus Prime

I met Peter Cullen last year

Are they going to A.I. his voice like they did with James Earl Jones?

FIRST COMMENT:🥇🏅🏆

Agreed his voice is iconic but I like yours too looper guy 😅

And as K.A.R.R. in Knight Rider on two TV Shows 1982 and 2009.

Because of unionisation 😮 thank you for this coverage!

Did I miss them mention he also voiced Coran from VOLTRON

David Kaye, Garry Chalk, and recently Chris Hemsworth are all great as Optimus Prime in their own ways, but Peter Cullen will always be *THE* Optimus Prime, and that’s not just an opinion, it is a *FACT*

This looks great😊Peter Cullen sounds great as Optimus. I remember song of Transformer as little,not sure what else. He deserves all the respect and admiration. Great video😀

My fellow Canadian, Peter Cullen! Take care, and all the best.

to think... somebody has Peter as their neighbor and some lucky kids have him for a grandfather... just how dang cool are their outgoing phone message recordings? And does Peter order pizzas while in character? - Can't imagine how his doctor visits go.....

He was great as the operating system of Ramrod in Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs.

Ah, yes, the guy who was Corran on Lion Force Voltron....

He’ll always be the voice of the autobot leader!😁👍👍

It's kinda hard to disassociate Prime and Cullen

Cullen was also Vengar on Dungeons and Dragons cartoon.

Killing Optimus prime in transformer movie (1986) was one of the biggest mistake in transformers history 🤓. I was young and I cried in the theater 😢

Mr Cullen also voiced KITT's evil doppelganger KARR in the Knight Rider series.

Choose your heroic Optimus Prime or Godzilla

Peter Cullen & Frank Walker are the best of voices in animation, & there would be no Transformers without them :)

I wonder if Peter Cullen and Frank Welker did their voice work at the same booth so they could play off each other.

Optimus prime is the leader of leaders and Peter Cullen is King of voice acting, no one and nothing can challenge or replace them

There may have been other people to voice Prime, but Peter Cullen is the definitive voice.

Don't forget that Cullen was also the voice of the Knight Automated Roving Robot (K.A.R.R) FROM Knight Rider.

Mr. Peter Cullen Also Did The Voice Of (Venger In The Animated Series-Dungeons And Dragons + In KNIGHT RIDER TV Series-K.A.R.R.).-(♏🦂☯☮).
