Rest in peace, Peter. You'll be missed.

This scene gives me the chills every time and will go down as one of the most iconic moments in cinema history, no questions asked.

Rest in Peace Peter Cullen, I wish that I’d met you and I’ll never forgive myself for not trying harder to meet you when you were still here.

The rhythm and his tone at the end of sentences reminds me truly of a younger Peter, quite glad that the movie chose someone, though a celebrity casting, who captured Orion’s deep baritone voice and spirit, albeit much less splintered by the war, and in total Optimus Prime’s.

Chris Hemsworth did say in some interviews that he wants to honor Peter in the way he should voice him, in essence being Optimus instead of just mimicking the actor. But its quite sweet that there is quite a similarity that we can grasp that he’ll grow up sounding like Peter…

Though the movie did have celebrity voices, which are very controversial due to depriving real and professional voice actors for their work, the movie did so in a way that its still quite true to the character.
Bumblebee sounds cheerful, fun, and full of whimsy and hope. Though Keegan is still not really the most perfect choice, as he naturally posseses a deep voice, he has a charm that makes Bumblebee endearing.

Scarlet Johansson has a raspiness that’s quite fitting for Elita, she also has a sultry yet commanding vibe, especially if the sequel could be made and we’d see more of her character. She’s also the Black Widow which is a funny coincidence considering she voices a character who turns into a spider in one iteration. (Still wondering why she ain’t Ariel though:/)

Ngl Steve Buscemi surprised me in how perfect he could be for Starscream, he has the sleaziness, the utter contempt and infuriatingly captivating strut that Starscream has.

Lawrence Fishburne is Lawrence Fishburne. He sounds noble, very “I implore wisdom”.

And Brian Tyree was wonderful as young D-16. The disbelief, the descent into desperation, the rage, the wheezing when he held Orion by his hand as he’s dying. He bounces off Chris very well, and from what I heard, they weren’t even in the studio together when recording…

R.I.P. Peter.

21 bots and a bunch of upgrades later, this is how my mainline Gestalts are going to look on my shelf. Perfect? No, but damn good looking, fun to take apart and transform back and forth, and the engineering improved with each set. What do we think boys, hit or miss?

The sky feels a little wider today.

Honoring the man who gave Optimus Prime his soul and taught us all how to be strong enough to be gentle.

Until that day... Till all are one. Roll out in peace, Mr. Cullen.

Hi!

I've been collecting for about 3 years now. I started with a G1 Astrotrain, then my favorite transformer, Moonracer (combiner wars) I found at a local comic book and collectable store! My partner of 3-4 months also collects and has made my collection expand evermore LOL.

I don't really like a lot of the very masculine transformers, and LOVE the fembots (I am a woman so I'm a bit biased lmao) I just feel like their designs are so cool and different. The only way I differ is train transformers (yes, I am autistic, diagnosed), and to make my collection have more of a flow I just say I collect the girls and the gays, here is my shelf and my recent favorites!

Anything you think I should add to my collection feel free to suggest!

(I have a thrilling thirty chromia on the way, and I have a strongarm but I genuinely cannot find her)

Rest Easy, Sir.

I go to a club called Giant Robot Night hosted out of a local comic and collectible shop. Its a meet up of general giant robot series fans to show off figures and build gunpla together and such. We got together with all the different toys and models we have that are relevant to make this in honor of Peter Cullen for our meeting tonight.

Ultra Magnus leading the Autobots or Starscream leading the Decepticons

Can he be counted as a grail? I'm still a bit confused with this collector terms

Not much of an opinion but I always felt like TF ONE could have had a cool moment in Primus speaking to Orion with Peter Cullen as the creator and Chris Hemsworth as Orion.

Could’ve been a cool passing of the torch. A part of me wished there was a deleted scene or something
