Peter Cullen on Optimus Prime and the Transformers

Anyone who grew up watching the Transformers on Saturday mornings like I did remembers Peter Cullen. He’s lent his voice to countless animated series over the years, and when you hear it, you know it.

Now, he’s back, reprising his role as Optimus Prime from the original series and the 1986 movie.

This YouTube video features Cullen talking about the original series, and how when he took the job, he had no idea what the show or the concept was about. He talks a bit about a few of his favorite lines, and the clip even incorporates some shots from the upcoming game.

Enjoy the nostalgia!
