Peter Cullen And The Hub At San Diego Comic-Con 2012

Posted on 06-29-2012 at 11:26 AM by NIBMRatchet under San Diego Comic Con

Two legends are about to meet. The news buzzing around the Web is that Larry King is going to interview Peter Cullen at the San Diego Comic-Con 2012.

The Hub officially announced this via Facebook:

“Friday, July 13, “OPTIMUS PRIME: Up Close and Personal” (6:00 p.m., Room 23ABC)

The incomparable Larry King, one of the most recognized broadcast interviewers in the world, goes one-on-one with voice actor Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), a talent who is practically synonymous with Comic-Con itself. In this panel, "The King of Interviews" salutes the beloved Cullen and takes attendees through the actor's early days on the original 1984 animated TV series “Transformers Generation One,” the three box office smash Transformers movies, and his current work on The Hub TV network's Daytime Emmy® Award-winning animated series “Transformers Prime” from Hasbro Studios. Audience Q&A to follow.”

The Hub at SDCC will also feature other popular franchises including Aquabats, Dan vs. and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Hopefully, this will be the day we hear the return of Transformers: Prime.

Nice!

I'm hoping the fans who'll attend to the Optimus panel will ask questions about when the show's break will end.

So...they've got this Optimus interview thing, but no actual panel for Transformers Prime? Seems like they have their priorities a little mixed up.

OH-- okay, you see, I missed that. Criticism retracted.

Hey, the Larry King interview sounds like it could be a blast.

Larry King interviewing Peter Cullen? That's pretty impressive. I hope at least parts of that will make it onto some sort of DVD/BD special features list one day.

Many members are thinking the same thing.

Tekkaman Blade

I'd ask in the Hasboro panel, I doubt Cullen knows.

TFW10

^^ Thank you for asking. ^^

Oberoniss

Reported already.

That's pretty darn awesome. Larry King! And Cullen being interviewed. Though likely, they will hit many of the same questions, like the inspiration for Optimus' voice, the enduring popularity, his fun with Frank Welker, etc.

But, this gonna be pretty epic.

Motor_Master

Wow, I hope Hasbro or somebody captures this and puts it on the web.

Larry King to Peter Cullen: ''So Peter..as the iconic Optimus Prime, would you say that YOU HAVE THE TOUCH, THE POWER?!''

lame j/k

but if this is on CNN I'd love to watch and actually sit through and put up with King's droll personality for once. ;D

MTME

already a thread about this

Plainsjumper

That's awesome! I bet Peter Cullen has never been interviewed by an undead interviewer before!

ErbFan28

I hope this is on CNN

moreprimeland

Posted yesterday...and beat this one by a couple of hours.

Okay where did the Larry King thread go to??? Merged, I suppose.

Chris McFeely

Oh, shoot, I thought this was going to be on the Hub.

TheTFReview

There is no way in hell I am going to miss the Larry King - Peter Cullen 1 on 1. That sounds too good to be true.

You do realize you linked the one that "beat me" right back to this thread right?

ex dtw2003

Cool.

Too bad though that Larry King is darn near rambling and borderline senile. I expect the interview to be chalk full of non-sequiter and rambling inchoerence. Poor Peter.

StarryAqua

So there's only a 1 hr Transformers panel, with only 2 people, and they will discuss all the Transformers brand. There's also a Q&A, which is usually about half the panel time. They better not talk about Prime for only 5 minutes.

nelodiavolo

Awesome news! I'm going to try to get into this panel. Hopefully the line isn't insanly long.

^This.

Larry King and Peter Cullen are nice but it's more important if we got some new info from Prime.

Shame you missed the Ript shirt. I love mine

Driskull98

Unrelated to TF, but I'd love to see a crowd shot of the MLP panel just to see how many guys'll be there.

Powersa

The Hub actually got money to go to Comic Con. News.

I bought mine from Ript for 10 bucks, but you can buy the "voice of a generation" shirt here:

"The Voice of a Generation" T-Shirts & Hoodies by ninjaink | RedBubble

Costs more at $24.54 but I say its well worth it. I'm wearing my shirt to the con for sure.

alfred p. sloan

I doubt we'll learn much new from the Larry King interview but it's nice to see Peter Cullen get the all-star treatment. I certainly hope Peter is flattered by the opportunity.

Infosaur

I have one question for Larry King: "What took you (and by extension the hollywood media) so long? (To recognise Peter for all his work over the years)"
