I had no idea he was the voice of the Predator.

I hope they retire Optimus Prime the way Baseball teams retire players numbers. Peter Cullen is an act that can't be followed and any attempt to do so will sully the memory.

Here he is telling a powerful story about finding the voice by being inspired by his brother's calm authoritative voice, a Vietnam veteran. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zryfjSaxXLo

it makes going to the see the released "Apology Tour" of the 1986 Transformers that much more heartbreaking. RIP https://www.fathomentertainment.com/transformers40thannivers...

I'm surprised to learn that he was also the voice of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. Rest in peace, Mr. Cullen.

Was a bit too old for Transformers when it became popular but even watching a few mins here and there was enough to imprint Optimus’ voice on me. When they hired him for the movies I thought, well of course they did. Believe that puts him in the same league as James Earl Jones as Mufasa. RIP

He also voiced aspects of Voltron and Saber Rider, maybe “narrated” is the right description Such a big part of my youth
