He was Optimus Prime, my favorite Transformer, Eeyore, my favorite Winnie the Pooh character, and the promo guy for classic Toonami. Man. He voiced so much of my childhood.
Wow! I think Frank Welker and Peter Cullen did the voices for every single one of my favorite cartoon shows growing up as a kid. I had no idea he did so many.
This man is the reason 40 year olds like myself had a great childhood. 1984...was a time when children could watch television and afterwards still have their innocence. Thank you Peter Cullen!!!!
He voiced characters I had completely forgotten about. Or characters that were in cartoons I never knew about. Quite nostalgic! Overall, he'll always be Optimus Prime to me.
Met him at BotCon 2011, great awesome times, a moment I will cherish forever, sadly haven't met Frank Welker yet, I believe Peter Cullen talked Frank Welker into finally attending conventions, because Frank Welker is known to be kind of reclusive
Yep! Likewise, Frank Welker (a.k.a. the voice of Megatron and Soundwave) voiced a few Autobots. Wheelie, from the '80s animated movie, is probably the only such case I can recall from memory, though.
I was thinking about that. There was a voice I just recently experimented with, and I couldn't even do it for more than thirty minutes. This guy is too cool.
I remember, vividly, Opitimus Prime of my childhood, and hearing him on the big screen when i went to Transformers years ago was going back in time. I'm still kinda miffed about Bumblebee not being a VW Beetle, but hey, I wasn't in charge.
Thank you X 5 !! Star Rider and the Star Sherriffs! That is a long time favourite series that for the life of me I could never remember the name of! If I ever did know it, I remembered snippets of the series. Space cowboys and a giant robot, an extra dimensional villain and the name cobalt blue. Thank you for uploading this!
I’ve said it before. Someone needs to follow him around everything that comes out of his mouth. To me, the most iconic voice actor ever. Follow him around so that we can listen to his voice for ages ❤️❤️❤️
They need to develop the technology to replicate deceased voices ASAP for when the likes of Cullen (God forbid) and others such as Frank Welker pass on.
My 4 favorite famous leading voice characters from Peter Cullen: 1:13-32 -Optimus Prime, & Ironhide (from "The Transformers" G1), & 4:30-41 -Coran, & Commander Hawkins (from "Voltron:Defender Of The Universe") as well.
You sir, contribute a good and irreplaceable memories to our childhood and manhood in many voices of many characters. As you said "There's a thine line between being a hero and being a memory.” .. You sir are both of them May God bless you in many ways. Regards, Alexander U.L. From Malaysia
Wait. You forgot one of his voice characters from the very memorable animated series: The Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. He was one of the Darkling Lords known as Cindarr
I want Peter Cullen to read me a bedtime story.
@Kalymixx obviously
Hell yeah! Don't give a fu(k if I'm a grown a$$ woman.. It's Peter Cullen.
Same
I want him to voice my eulogy 🤔🤷🏼♂️
I could listen to Peter Collin talking for 24/7
*_Without Peter Cullen there is no 80s_*
No 90s without Tress MacNeille either.
Exactly
Or Without Frank Welker, Chris latta , Mel blanc or Jim Cummings there is no 80s also
@@megatron9183 Chuck Mcchan either
Cullen is semi retired voice actor.
Peter Cullen and Frank Welker are literally the voice of Saturday morning cartoons
Major players and talented voice actors for sure, but we boomers can never forget Mel Blanc
@@usafvet100 oooh I forgot about him, good one
After Blanc, and before Cullen and Welker would be Casey Kasem, and Janet Waldo.
I prefer Hugo Weaving as Megatron over Frank Welker.
@@fearfulclan2007 Blasphemy.
He basically voiced my whole childhood!
Thats what I thought! the whole time I grew up listening to same guys voices! And then some in Predator.
Mladen Mihajlovic bro me too
Yes of course..mate cant believe
Mladen Mihajlovic Same here.
Between him and Mark hameal
You forgot his role as The Predator. He invented that chirp that they do.
He also did the noises for King Kong in the 1976 movie.
Its titled the voices of Peter Cullen . I do't think he read the line at the end . Just the sounds .
you are kidding? seriously? my gosh
He also voiced Captain Flint in the opening to Treasure Planet.
I swear this guy has been in every 80s animated robot cartoon.
KRedV what about go bots?
Pretty much.
Some random guy 45 he was in go bots
@@somerandomguy4542 as was Frank (g1 megatron) welker...believe it or not Frank welker voiced scooter from the gobots.
Woooower
Peter Cullen is like a father figure to me growing up in the 80's. His voice always calms me when I'm down.
Me too! As Prime he always has reason with strictness.
"I, am Optimus Prime."
Classic.
I always got goose bumps whenever I heard Optimus Primes voice!
Mister Jack same😊👍🏻!!!
Me too ma dude
Damn Right! I DO too.
All i hear is Optimus Prime but with different accents and emotions.
Exactly.
Same😂
Me too now I know lol
Yeah
My dad said he voice the original jocker in batman animated
Peter Cullen, the voice of my childhood.
Voice of the 80s
Even now he still is Optimus Prime in various movies, tv shows, and games!
Yeah i liked predator also
He was Optimus Prime, my favorite Transformer, Eeyore, my favorite Winnie the Pooh character, and the promo guy for classic Toonami. Man. He voiced so much of my childhood.
And to think I only knew him for Optimus Prime. Such a great career.
He looks exactly as I thought he'd look if Optimus Prime was a human.
Same
I always envisioned a muscular oldman with a beard
Same here!
A sweet old man
@@notsohunkeymonkey9624He's like 82.
I had no idea he was this prolific. One of the greatest voice actors of our times. I grew up with most of those shows.
Indeed. I never realized he had that much range. Much respect for Cullen's mad skills!
No wonder I always thought his voice was so familiar.....hes in EVERYTHING!!!
Wow! I think Frank Welker and Peter Cullen did the voices for every single one of my favorite cartoon shows growing up as a kid. I had no idea he did so many.
I just can’t imagine a mere man walking around with Prime’s voice. This is awesome like discovering James Earl Jones
This man is the reason 40 year olds like myself had a great childhood. 1984...was a time when children could watch television and afterwards still have their innocence. Thank you Peter Cullen!!!!
I'm so glad you mentioned that "Little Engine That Could" adaptation! It's so underrated!
Optimus is and always will be Peter Cullen nobody will never ever replace him
Now knowing that Peter did the voices for Mario and The Hulk (My favorite Avenger) makes me respect him as a voice actor more.
ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICE-OVER ACTORS EVER. I CAN ONLY HOPE TO AS GOOD AS HIM SOMEDAY.
He voiced characters I had completely forgotten about. Or characters that were in cartoons I never knew about. Quite nostalgic! Overall, he'll always be Optimus Prime to me.
This guy is been in my life more than most in the past and I never realised it
Thank you for the great memories chap
Special stuff indeed
Thank you Mr. Cullen for brining many happy experiences to many 1980s and 1990s children.
Grimmitz and eeyore are so criminally underrated and unnoticed. Everyone knows how amazing his prime voice is.
He will be always, OPTIMUS PRIME 😎
Met him at BotCon 2011, great awesome times, a moment I will cherish forever, sadly haven't met Frank Welker yet, I believe Peter Cullen talked Frank Welker into finally attending conventions, because Frank Welker is known to be kind of reclusive
By the all spark that's a lot of characters........
Peter Cullen has an extraordinary talent
God bless this man, he completed my childhood 😭😭💞💞❤️
He did the voice/sounds of the Predator from The Predator original movie as well. No effects even, just his voice.
The very start u swear he’s Walter white
Oh my God Hawksnest, you’re here ;-;
Big fan, and yesss he definitely looked like Walter White in the beginning lmaooo
Didn't expect you to be here
The Real Heisenberg
I can't beleive I saw hawks here
Does reek oil still bother you?
Didn't realize Peter voiced a few decepticons.
Yep! Likewise, Frank Welker (a.k.a. the voice of Megatron and Soundwave) voiced a few Autobots. Wheelie, from the '80s animated movie, is probably the only such case I can recall from memory, though.
Welker voiced Mirage, Trailbreaker, Chromedome, Blades and Sludge
He voiced every seeker that wasn't Starscream
He also voiced a vehicon in the episode of beast hunters where knockout and starscream infuse breakdowns body with synthetic and dark energon
These old clips are making me wanna watch all my favourite cartoons all over again.
This must’ve hurt his throat a lot wow
He has at times had a bloody throat
Try to see Frank Welker talks in Megatron / Soundwave voice
@@risraid9324
That shit has them talking from the base of there necks in that deep behind voice!?!!!
STARSCREAM!!!
SHOCKWAVE RE0ORTING!!!!
I was thinking about that. There was a voice I just recently experimented with, and I couldn't even do it for more than thirty minutes. This guy is too cool.
I remember, vividly, Opitimus Prime of my childhood, and hearing him on the big screen when i went to Transformers years ago was going back in time. I'm still kinda miffed about Bumblebee not being a VW Beetle, but hey, I wasn't in charge.
Cullen is an integral part of my childhood, and he will always be.
you should watch the new bumblebee trailer - wish granted!
GM paid a fortune to do most of the vehicles into GM ones hence the reason he was a Camaro.
They made jazz a fucking nissan, it still hurts.
That was an amazing collection. Someone took a lot of time to get them...thank you!
1 of the most iconic voices ever!!!
This legend has like 50 different voices...incredible.
Even Monterey Jack. 😯
Hes literally the voice of 80s cartoons
The voice of my entire childhood!
When I watch and listen to Peter speak Prime, I get misty. Love that iconic voice. Thank you Mr Cullen
Another impressive résumé. And I had all but forgotten about the Hagar the Horrible TV special.
William Crowe I didn't know there was a Hagar the Horrible cartoon.
Peter Cullen is my favorite as the voice of Optimus Prime. Autobots Roll Out! ❤️💙🚚🤖😁🙏🏻
Please live long and prosper!
Peter Cullen is flawless
Thank you X 5 !! Star Rider and the Star Sherriffs! That is a long time favourite series that for the life of me I could never remember the name of! If I ever did know it, I remembered snippets of the series. Space cowboys and a giant robot, an extra dimensional villain and the name cobalt blue. Thank you for uploading this!
ozzymandistwenty14 You are so welcome. 😁
I love these! can't imagine how long this mus have taken to get all this footage. thanks
Thank you so much. Yeah, they're not super easy to make. I'm working on one for Alan Oppenheimer right now.
Peter is the one guy who can say "puppies" and make it feel menacing.
Nothing short of a legend
3:17 Apparently, the writers of the _Transformers: Shattered Glass_ comics imagine the evil version of Optimus Prime to sound like this character.
I'm impressed to learn that Peter Cullen's also voiced the narrator, nemesis, commander eagle and ramrod's ai in saber rider and the star sheriff.
And he was the *Predator* too :)
0:15 "Before time begaan
There was a cube "
My favourite lines of optimus prime ☺☺☺☺
I love Peter Cullen’s voice and I love the transformers act voice
I’ve said it before. Someone needs to follow him around everything that comes out of his mouth. To me, the most iconic voice actor ever. Follow him around so that we can listen to his voice for ages ❤️❤️❤️
This took me back in time. 👍👍👍❤️
Now I wanna go back and rewatch a few of these lol...the memories!
They need to develop the technology to replicate deceased voices ASAP for when the likes of Cullen (God forbid) and others such as Frank Welker pass on.
First was Orson Wells
Your Average Malaka Unicron
Your Average Malaka starscream has the same voice as cobra commander
Cole Robinson-Boivin we need to keep the voice of Paarthunax too. He sounds like a grandpa thats good at story telling (only he's a dragon)
Your Average Malaka damn, the guy who voiced Jazz died too
PETER CULLEN!!!
He gives chills down my spine and laughter...
But mostly chills down my spine and awe
That voice ......... just perfection
My childhood has a face lol in 38 and this guy was the voice of my fav cartoons :) THANK YOU
A living legend
Thanks for all your hardships I appreciate your time and knowledge thank you
Damn he looks like Walter White in the beginning of this vid.
Rufus of UFOMG! YEP
I thought the very same thing.
Voltron intro was spot on
So many iconic roles!
My 4 favorite famous leading voice characters from Peter Cullen:
1:13-32 -Optimus Prime, & Ironhide (from "The Transformers" G1), &
4:30-41 -Coran, & Commander Hawkins (from "Voltron:Defender Of The Universe") as well.
When you realize that 1 guy voiced almost your entire childhood. I bet he's rollin out.....straight to the bank.
Wow, if this guy's voice could wake me up in the morning like my alarmclock. Motivation for life as the voice of Optimum Prime.
Hands down peter cullen best transformer
He's a good friend with Frank Welker in Transformers franchise
Peter Cullen was just incredible as Optimus and Eeyore. I had no idea he was the magician in Mickey's 50th!!
You sir, contribute a good and irreplaceable memories to our childhood and manhood in many voices of many characters.
As you said
"There's a thine line between being a hero and being a memory.” ..
You sir are both of them
May God bless you in many ways.

Wow! Great work! Thanks
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
this dudes voice gives me chills
So he basically voiced every well known optimus
All 80's and 90's cartoons, he almost voice ovee all characters😊❤
So Peter worked with Mel Blanc on Heathcliff... and as Heathcliff's dad even that should have been an interesting Voice Acting Session
This man's voice makes my heart melt ❤️
That clip of Robotix sounds like Frank Walker and Peter Cullen. 10:05
Knight Rider as KARR! Nice!
4:30 OMG VOLTRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This man has the best voice ever. I hope someday I can meet him. He is the reason I want to do Voice overs.
He's one of the voice choices for Replika chatbots. Listen to him daily!!
Cullen voiced the car of Knight Rider?! How did I not know?!?!?!
Matthew Bane He wasn’t K.I.T.T., but voiced one of the villains: K.A.R.R. (Paul Frees also voiced KARR)
William Daniels did the voice of KITT
did voices in the 80s Voltron!
KEETH DRE and also Vehicle Voltron
K.I.T.T was played by Mr Feeney from Boy Meets World.
Wow, grew up watching all tjese characters, talent indeed..
Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Red Skull, Hulk, Gunner
u were featured in the BEST cartoons EVER made! glad to be a 90s kid
He also do announcer of Toonami
Jennifer M no way!?!
+ultimate furryqueen Yes Way
+Zero Law When I found out that the announcer for Toonami is Peter Cullen I was really surprised and Excited
Jennifer M You’re wrong, the voice announcer for Toonami is Steven Blum. Best know for his voice acting as Wolverine.
@@complexedcom9988 He did it before TOM, voiced by Steven Blum, was even around on Toonami dude.
Voices I NEVER knew he'd done; AWESOME!!!
WOW!! This man has an awesome resume ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The voice of K.A.R.R, and Optimus Prime, and many others. I had no idea.
Voice of a generation
Well, that covered just about everything I remember from childhood.
Wait. You forgot one of his voice characters from the very memorable animated series: The Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. He was one of the Darkling Lords known as Cindarr
Was hoping for Cindarr myself. Although to be fair, it's about the same as any of his dumb brutes.
Jay Breezy he missed more than 1 or 2.
The Predator from 1984😮?! I thought that was the great Frank Welker/Megatron
2:35 peter cullen's best role
That's a weird way of saying 1:13
Had no idea he did kit!!!
Everyone will remember Peter Cullen’s role
As Optimus prime
Is it me or does his voice make you feel all warm and safe inside.
