I think everyone here will agree that there could never be a more fitting voice for Optimus Prime than Peter Cullen's. I can't help thinking, however, that he probably wasn't very fond of all the trash-talking he had to do during the showdown scene in the first episode of Transformers. I'm basing my assumption on the heartwarming story Peter has told so many times about his late brother, Larry: "Don't be a Hollywood Hero, Peter. Be tough enough to be gentle..." It was that perfect blend of incredibly strong leadership with compassion and gentleness that made us fall in love with Prime in the first place.
When watching the last two Bayverse films you could tell in his voice that he was phoning it in due to the direction they were taking OP and he didn't like it but kept it professional and the best he could with the material given for all the fans who love him. I totally respect that.
Fabian Rocha It makes me happy whenever I encounter other people who know the story of Peter’s brother, Larry. He was a Marine Corps. Captain, a Vietnam Veteran, and an inspiration to one of the most kindhearted people in the Universe!
murasaki_ahiru I have mad respect for him as well! Anyone who knows anything about this gentleman knows that he took his brother’s advice to heart when he originally auditioned for the role of Optimus Prime. I wouldn’t be surprised if he only continued to lend his voice to Bay’s shit-sequels because he didn’t want to disappoint his fans. Not long after his brother’s passing (maybe a year), I wrote a letter to Peter’s Talent Agency in which I offered my condolences for his loss and told him that he shares a Birthday with my late Mom: July 28th. Some time later, I received an 8 1/2” X 11” autographed photo of Optimus with Peter’s thanks for my “kind words.” The man is Legend and a Sweetheart!

i really want a video with ALL of the voices he did. I just discovered one of his contributions in an old episode of Duck Tales. He has done sooo much!
You forgot the following: Venger from Dungeons and Dragons, KARR from Knight Rider, King Alfor from Voltron: Defender of the Universe, Airborne and Zandar from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, and Felix Faust from The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians

Lesley RedRhody he had no issue doing it, it’s a job a well paying one at some point.
Rest In Peace Captain H. L. "Larry" Cullen... May The Force Be With You and Till All Are One

Eeyore sounds like a sad Optimus Prime.
BatteryMaster MMD i cant stop hearing that now
That surprised me
3:01-3:06 yes, eeyore is still depressing for no reason.
I swear when Peter dies I'll be depressed for the rest of my life
Agreed
GirlyGamer76 Please don't say the word "die"
GirlyGamer76 If he does, maybe they will hire someone who does a good impression of his Optimus Prime voice, like myself.
I will be devastated. A part of me will die too.
GirlyGamer76 exactly I can't let him die he is my idol
PETER CULLEN the greatest Optimus Prime ever TILL ALL ARE ONE

I grew up with his voice
One shall stand (Peter) one shall fall (any other voice actor)
0:53 - 1:03
"I have found that the young of this species are the most valuable allies...Not entirely. Rescue Bots, good luck"
Agreed.
"One shall stand,one shall fall"

Wait, i know why starscream and knockout flipped when they saw those terrorcons, all of them sounded like optimus.
How come doesn't this video have so much views around the million viewers range ?

He's gotta John Wayne drawl to his voice as well.
From days of long ago. From uncharted regions of the universe comes a legend. The legend of Voltron.
Optimus Prime: Eeyore who's butt do I kick?
Eeyore: Disney's butt cause they said I'm not doing me anymore. Not that I mind at all.

Neighbor Prism he even voiced two decepticons Nightstick and and that Blue Decepticon targetaster

Cool voices
No one can replace peter as optimus
2:00 really?? I didn't know he did that one
one have fallen or two
-Eeyore
1:17 I’ve always liked Optimus prime without his face guard.
Peter Cullen also voiced Optimus in the live action Transformers movies.
the first is irreplacable
I like that Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime is also the voice of Pac-Man's cat, Sourpuss.
And he also was the first voice of Mario in the old Donkey Kong cartoon as well as the Predator in the first PREDATOR movie.
You forgot Cindarr from Visionaries. Hes adorable!
So if Peter voiced a red and blue donkey on mlp who had a dragon friend voiced by Frank Welker, would it be too meta?
Van Oskuro-pony form I'm not sure what meta is, so I don't know?
Peters burns as g1 optimus, focing beautiful.
Why does everyone sound like some sort of optimus like his diffrent personalitys wtf lmao
Don't forget Parthanax from Skyrim
Eeyore is edgy depressing Optimus Prime
The announcer from toonami
There's also Vinnie the Cat and Baby the Rat from Foofur.
In the early days he's sounds a bit John Wayne :)
I recognise Prime and Eeyore but who are the other characters in this?
And where's Venger?
Kairu Otaku I don't know him and I tried to use only the most famous roles
Just picture him voicing Mr. Popo.
he voice as Eeyore?!
AUTOBUTTS ROLL OUT
He's a vehicon?!
You forgot the following: Venger from Dungeons and Dragons, KARR from Knight Rider, King Alfor from Voltron: Defender of the Universe, Airborne and Zandar from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, and Felix Faust from The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians
civilwildman but I did use KARR
Where? I don't see and hear any clips of him doing that in this video.
civilwildman I don't understand, it should be there?
I always wondered why optimus always sounds the same
You forgot King Kong 1976.
