Hearing that 1986 was his last time as Optimus prime till 2007 is actually heartbreaking, I know he had other work but imagine if he had other roles as Optimus throughout the early 2000’s
It’s kinda ironic that Bay says ‘I can’t imagine anyone else being Optimus’ since it actually took a _lot_ of persuading from the fans and 3 auditions before Peter got the part. I’m very glad he did, it’s the only thing that makes Optimus in these movies an enjoyable character
When Peter Cullen began the iconic optimus prime speech at 2:19 i was shedding tears when he said "I witnessed their capacity for courage and though we are worlds apart like us there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime and i send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars we are here we are waiting" one of my favorite speeches that can make me shed a tear
Man, I love this speech, but I also enjoy two others from Transformers Prime: "Without a means of leaving this world, we autobots take strength in the bonds we have forged with our three young friends, true warriors, if not in body then in spirit. My name is Optimus Prime, and I send this message: though we didn't choose to be of Earth, it would seem that we are here to stay. If you approach this planet with hostile intent, know this: we will defend ourselves, we will defend humanity, we will defend our home!" And "Above all, do not lament my absence, for in my spark I know that this is not the end, but merely a new beginning, simply put, another transformation." Both are from Petter Cullen, and damn it, do they give me shivers down the spine.
@@big7073 Idk man, the people who have strong opinions on these movies either way are pretty few and far between compared to the people who saw a trailer/poster for one of the movies, thought it looked neat and went to turn their brains off for a few hours before forgetting all about it within a day.
I want them to do the whole movie, but with the little voice actor screen in the corner the whole time. Something about seeing those guys actually do the voices, I just love it
Freya: If you're asking, he plays Lord Elrond in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Movies. I rolled over the floor when he was introduced voicing Megatron at 1:44, BTW... 👍🤣👍
Peter will always be Optimus Prime in my eyes forever, there is just something majestic about his voice that makes Prime this humble yet bad ass leader that if you were an Autobot, you would follow him to the scrap heap. Peter and Prime will be the legends that will live on and never fade.
I’ve been a Transformer fan since Day 1 & I love making Stop Motion animation with my G1 & Movie collection for people to enjoy 🎬📸🎞️🤩‼️ What are your 5 favorite Transformers🤔
1:32 Everyone talks about Peter Cullen, but Hugo Weaving delivering his line here gives me huge Frank Welker vibes. For someone who only did the role for the paycheck, he sure looked like he was enjoying himself for a second.
Interesting how I heard Hugo Weaving supposedly despised his time as Megatron but at least here he seemed to be at least enjoying putting some energy into the lines.
"I have witnessed their capacity for courage and though we are worlds apart, like us. There's more to them, than meets the eye. I'm Optimus Prime, and i send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here, we are waiting".
Peter Cullen (Optimus) was another reason i fall for these movies.. He has the exact Depth, Gravity, Weight in the voice that suites the Creature size of Optimus and matches his persona. even amplify that.. There could'nt be better voice for prime than Peter. Same as Weave for Megatron
frank walker is the best megatron voice he on 84 and 86 peter cullen voiced optimus and frank voiced megatron so they are the 2 legendary voices we will always remember especially peter
The live action movies have nothing on the 1986 one. I was a massive transformers fan as a kid and seeing this when it came out on VHS made me so happy. I also cried when Optimus died
Welker is Megatron. Weaving doesn’t naturally sound like Megatron. They had to modify him a lot just to make him scary. Frank Welker just NATURALLY sounds threatening as Megatron. Listen to him do the voice in interviews and stuff. He’s still terrifying all these years later. If anything more so now than he was back in the 80’s.
peters voice just gives me goosebumps. i remember being 8 years old going to the movie theater to see with my dad. have been a die hard fan ever since then. Rise of the beasts was an absolute masterpiece. one of the best ones in my opinion. the first 3 were the absolute best. but this one is right along there with those three. there can never, and will never be another optimus besides peter, period.
*USUALLY IN HOLLYWOOD ADAPTION MOVIES OPTED TO CHOSE CELEBRITIES, BUT THIS MOVIE ACTUALLY OPTED TO USE BIG VOICE ACTORS, & HONESTLY, THIS IS SO APRETIATED*
Like how Kevin Conroy was and is the definite voice of Batman, Peter Cullen is the definite voice of Optimus Prime. 2:19 I have witnessed their capacity for courage and though we are worlds apart like us, there’s more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.
Optimus's words at the end of the movie was my ringtone for a veryyyyy long time. Just cannot imagine anyone other than Peter Cullen doing Optimus' voiceover.
1:45 I doubt that's the face of someone who is "only there for the money". As much as Hugo Weaving denies it, he definitely has some degree of love for what he did for the role of Megatron.
Peter Cullen is the only Optimus. I follow Rob Paulsen aka voice of Yakko, PInky, Raphael and the new Donatello, and listen to his weekly podcast. Jess Harnell is the voice of Wakko and thus a friend and guest on Rob's podcast. But theres something about Barricade, his voice and everything that makes him my favorite badass decepticon.
I just watched it again for the first time since it’s release on dvd and now I have all five on Blu-ray still gives me goosebumps. I’m glad they kept Optimus and soundwave’s original voices takes you back to 1985 😁
"I, Am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots, Taking refuge Among The stars, We are here We are Waiting" Chills every time bruv🤧🔥✨

Peter Cullen has a voice that every body will remember.
Except his own voice lol
Peter cullen was my first favourite voice actor
don't find his house please
It's his brothers voice
Hallo nice to meet you, im from future 2021
when optimus prime speaks,gives me the goosebumps
Haha especially the part when he says "like us theres more to them than meets the eye epic line
why
When any of them speak I get goosebumps
Same
Goosebumps when i hear Optimus, Ironhides, Jazz and Ratchets voice!
Im really sad that Jazz died in the first movie 😢😭😞
"1986 was my last shot at this"
Same big part of my growing up transformers Cullen nails the voice much better in the movies
I can't think of anyone but Peter Cullen behind optimus's mic.
No one else is Prime.
One of the only times I saw a standing ovation in movie theater was when I heard "I am Optimus Prime."
Hearing that 1986 was his last time as Optimus prime till 2007 is actually heartbreaking, I know he had other work but imagine if he had other roles as Optimus throughout the early 2000’s
Whenever I hear "I am Optimus prime" hairs stand up, him and Vader.
"The force is with you young skywalker. But you are not a jedi yet" Is my favorite from James Earl Jones(Vader)
What about Mufasa from The Lion King?
I bumped into this comment right at the time he says i am optimus prime and my hairs did stand up while im reading.
AGREED
The wrestler?
Peter Cullen is the legendary voice
Yes
Yea.. From 2021
Forget james earl jones PETER CULLEN IS THE MAN!!!
The Cullens live in Washington. There’s little sun there so they can come outside without their skin shinning like diamonds
Yes from 2024
“I..am Optimus Prime & I send this message to any surviving autobots taking refuge among the stars,We are here,We are waiting...”
Goosebumps 😭😭😭
Peter Cullen's voice gives me chills & goosebumps every time.
Read it with peter’s voice ( in your mind ) 😳
"Whaaaaat IIII've Dooooooone!!"
his voice is being heard in brain in this sentence
“each autobot, each decepticon has a very specific personality” the last two movies:
Peter Cullen is the Robert Downey Jr. of the transformer’s franchise, he will always be Optimus Prime like Robert is for Tony Stark.
Agreed
Yes
True👌🏻
I can't imagine someone that is not them playing the role
There's more franchise can be compared to
It’s kinda ironic that Bay says ‘I can’t imagine anyone else being Optimus’ since it actually took a _lot_ of persuading from the fans and 3 auditions before Peter got the part. I’m very glad he did, it’s the only thing that makes Optimus in these movies an enjoyable character
did you get this recommended to you? Me too.
@@aminveritas5571 ahaha yeah I did. Seems like loads of people are
@@aminveritas5571 yuhuh
I guess he said that once he saw how good Peter's voice for Prime is and realized nobody else could do it better.
i doubt bay had much to do choosing voice actors
Peter is a golden voice of the ages

Almost like when they do commentary on movies.
2:19 his speech will always send shivers down my spine, peter's Optimus voice will always send nostalgia back to 2007
1985 for me
He is 81 now. Hope he lives until 100 and try to voice any Optimus that will come. Don't leave us yet legend.
I just hope if there is a final live action transformers movie to complete the story that he'll be alive to voice as Optimus
They’ll probably try to AI his voice after he goes
He turned 83 today.
This guy's voice is legendary.
There is no one who can be the voice of Optimus Prime other than him. No one can do it better than him.
can we all appreciate how Hugo Weaving delivered an absolutely on point performance although neither preparing nor caring about this role
Freya: If you're asking, he plays Lord Elrond in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Movies. I rolled over the floor when he was introduced voicing Megatron at 1:44, BTW... 👍🤣👍
Megatron Stephen Steve vs Hugo Weaving
and the legendary agent smith from matrix@@junnaldmuyco6010
A true professional!
I honestly can’t think of anyone else to voice optimus other than Peter Cullen
Peter Cullen didn't voice Optimus; he IS Optimus.
@@joshmontemayor1212 Optimus plays Peter cullen
@sayaba islam neha english dude
@Nathan Ronco nah
When Cullen speaks you feel the weight of every word he says with such sincere passion that touches us all everytime we hear it.
"I... am Optimus Prime..." god damn... that gives me chills every single time in a really good way actually... 😳
Hearing Peter say “I am Optimus Prime.” Makes me have a massive nerdgasm
The person who played as Optimus prime is just his voice is PERFECTO
Well, DUH! He's the original v.a. for Optimus from 1986!

If that's the case, they probably could've gotten Steve Blum to do Megatron at the time. But Hugo Weaving was still a pretty good Megatron 👍.

It is fun seeing the faces behind the voices, isn't it? :D
Yes
Wow it's been 11 years
it's been 11 years
Dude its 11 years ago 😭
Dang this is deep
His voice will be remembered for eons to come
Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime, KevIn Conroy is Batman, Andy Serkis is Gollum. Mark Hamill is Joker. Can't imagine any other voice!
Peter Cullen and James Earl Jones are the two most memorable iconic and best voice actors ever
Yeah. Peter Cullen as Optimus & James Earl Jones as Mufasa.
RIP James Earl jones, may he be missed 🫡😔
I know this 2 years late but RIP James earl jones

"gessing" because he kept asking question to megatron
@@izored nah megatron was gonna kill em regardless. Maybe not rip him in half tho

Am a fan of transformer, and am happy to know the person behind the voice of each transformer characters.
Amazing how Hugo Weaving still seems to be giving his all when he said he didn't care about the movies. Some people's 1% can be some other's 100%.
