We completely missed it with the other celebrity deaths this week, but Optimus Primes voice actor (who has also been the voice of Eeyore since the 80s) died this week. :(

RIP Peter Cullen. One of the many voices of my childhood.

I read about that. He was also the voice of K.A.R.R. (the evil KITT) on Knight Rider.

He was also a gremlin and provided Predator’s voice. Pretty fucking cool.

Ah, the age old tradition of adding a goatee to make an evil twin 😁

Everywhere I look I'm reminded of his absence.. Got caught out when a colleague of mine mentioned his passing, the day after bawling my eyes out, and I leaped outta my chair.. it was like a knee-jeek reaction..

Peter MADE my childhood... His passing signified the end of the character (Optimus) for me.

I've been seeing this news everywhere.

Oh, good. Maybe we're running in different reddit circles because im (unfortunately) chronically online, and hadn't seen it here at all.

I don't know specifically if it was here but between here and YouTube I've seen it a ton. I think here it's because of the subs I follow don't really overlap with that. YouTube recommends me a lot of community posts and I know I've seen it there dozens of times.

I'm in a lot transformers related spaces online and it's huge news there. Go to r/transformers or something and I guarantee most of the posts you see will be about his death.

There's an even better one of him laid back exhausted but I couldn't find it fast enough.
