    Tudyk is hilarious. I always love seeing him pop up in things. Ever since Firefly.

    It's definitely a bit jarring at first to hear him as Prime but by the end of the first set of episodes they released, you get used to it. I really like how Prime is handled in the show so far. There's some moral gray area and he's struggling with the decisions he's made and how to navigate a post-war era and whether he's relinquished too much control to Ghost in the name of peace.

    Alan Tudyk is a no body, couldn't they get somebody important? (if you know, you know) (Sarcasm)

    It works as a double reference because of his role on Santa Clarita Diet.

    Warning: I haven't seen the series yet (not a no spoilers request I have no problem with spoilers) so this is me late in the game finding out who voices this Optimus Prime.

    So Alan went from Joker and Clayface to Optimus freaking Prime. Did anyone see this coming before it happened or am I silly for not considering this casting?

    Also, I loved that when Alan saw he was playing Prime, he didn't realize it was THE Prime. lol

    I like the actor, but his Optimus voice isn't for me. Now, I haven't seen much of Earthspark other than a few clips. But the little I have seen of his Optimus, he always sounds like The Kraang from TMNT'12. Not really what I want Optimus to sound like.
