    I love how Peter is passive-aggressively exposing another "asshole-Micheal Bay" moment, because he KNOWS everyone is done with Bay's shit.

    Not to mention that the dialogue Cullen was given to work with in a 30 year old kids show was far better than anything he got from the script writers of the live action films.

    Who wants to give Peter Cullen a hug instead? I know I do. A big bear hug and a peck on his lips. What? My eternal man crush levels are uncontrolable OK? ;)

    He's already 75 and super fit. Not many 75 year old people are as healthy as he is at their age.

    YouTube (Legacy):
    Did you take in the context of when this happened? This was 20 years after Cullen had voiced Prime. Of course they were going to be cautious of Cullen's performance. Any director would be wary if they were given 147 million dollars to direct a blockbuster.

    Cullen may seem like a no brainier right now, but please people, think of the context.

    I think Michael Bay should have let Peter Cullen do both Optimus and Ironhide. That smartass remark about 'playing the part in a cartoon' was NOT called for, and an insult to Mr. Cullen.

    Well Mr.Cullen you have become my favourite 'star' on the media, and God only knows how difficult it is for me to like a media person, but I have to tell you: You deserved this insolence. Yes you did. I know you acted like this because you are an honorable person and trully a great guy, but putting somepride in there wouldnt have hurt anyone. Had I been in your shoes the moment I would hear that a&#&#e utter the words: "This guy" he would get a middle finger in the face, a smile and I would put on my sunglasses and walked off the stage.
