We have received a You Tube Clip from 2005 Boards Member jon3pnt0, where we hear legendary voice artist Peter Cullen giving “life” to Optimus Prime.
The recording takes place at Creekside Audio, Ohio with the support from Rick Sellers and Wes McCraw.
Based on what is being recorded, we can assume that the recordings might be for Transformers: Age Of Extinction Merchandise such as Toys, Role Play Items or for the Video Game (Rise Of The Dark Spark).

I was just sitting here thinking that I would love to hear him just got off on some crazy Christopher Walker style rant, spouting just random shit for the hell of it.
I guess the closest I can think of that we have actually gotten was when Optimus did the Top Ten for Letterman years ago.

Whose the other? Tom Selleck? Burt Reynolds?

He has one of the 2 greatest moustaches I've seen.

Oh man! I wanna hear him order a pizza in that voice.
Novaburnhilde
Me too.
Always nice to see Peter in his element, sounding awesome as usual.

Shout out to O-HI-O.

No, no, never mind his ability to emulate and modify the same voice he did for a cartoon character in 1984 for a new adaption in 30 years later in 2014; all that matters is that glorious mustache. Clearly.

Quite endearing to see how genuinely excited and even a little star struck that Wes guy was to be working with Peter Cullen, even just via a phone.
Says a lot about how respected and admired PC is even within the industry.

Yup,still got it after many years. I STILL cannot get through listening the great Peter Cullen's voice without getting goosebumps..

That voice always gives me shivers!

With a sweet mustache like that, I hope he is making pretty decent money off the resurgence of Transformers.

Agreed. Though there have been others that have also voiced that role, none of them can take the crown away from the original.

Peter: "I haven't done a lot of these in quite a while…" Sounds like 30th Anniversary stuff to me…
EnergonWaffles
he just IS Optimus to me. Such a nice guy.

Booooo hooooooo, I miss Optimus from TFP.
It was very nice to hear him again. Thanks for keeping us die-hard Peter Cullen fans listening.

Oh Peter, you really are the voice of Transformers.
Bnz Toy

Awesome. He sounds so good. And he's just the sweetest man there is, really.
