    Didn’t watch all of it (got to the “this is a emergency” part) but this is awesome.

    I love whenever he talks about voicing Prime, he brings up his brother and never forgets him so wholesome.

    Cannot wait to hear him on the big screen again after 5 years. Always a pleasure having him back as the Autobot Leader.

    Absolutely love to see him. I know this is pretty standard for professional voice actors, but seeing and hearing him go from normal speaking voice to Optimus Prime so effortlessly is really something, especially considering his age. He's definitely still got it.

    \"There\'s a thin line between being a hero, and being a memory\"

    Peter Cullen is always gonna be a hero and an icon in the pop culture circle. Even when he\'s gone, I\'m sure his legacy will live on forever...

    TILL ALL ARE ONE!

    Can't imagine this character without Cullen's voice. When he's gone there won't be another Return of Optimus Prime. Such a shame he didn't get to star in a decent live action TF movie so far. The series has been horrible and I fear this latest flick will be just the same.

    such a classy actor...

    I remember my first BotCon, in 1997, where he was an announced guest and I couldn't pass up going...

    I recall being outside the convention, to look at the river and he came out to smoke and we just sort of nodded to acknowledge each other...

    I got to meet Peter in person a few months back. I can proudly say that Optimus Prime has played with one of my Optimus Primes.

    Can't help but smile every time I see Cullen talk about how much voicing Optimus means to him, he always comes across as such a genuinely wholesome guy. What a legend.

    Dude, what?
