Transformers Botcon 2007 Peter Cullen panel Optimus Prime

[kimopsa]

it actually doesnt matter what he says, u just watch him hypnotically and listen his voice

[st3vEn3o]

He's our one and only Optimus Prime!

[kerayz1e]

Brilliant video man!!! He seems like a great guy in every interview he seems really genuine. And the ending was perfect. You lucky guy!!!

[Allucouldwant]

Kinda funny how he moved around the question "what autobots would you like to see return in a sequel", obviously doesn't know any XD

Can't blame him, he's a voice actor, not a dedicated fan. I would have done the same thing, LOL.

[Kaname1Fan]

when i watched the transformers 3 movie i cried because Optimus(Peter) said all of these memorable quotes that made me so sad! when i hear the voice of Optimus it makes me so happy!!! I <3 OPTIMUS PRIME!!! <3

[KozmoCSS]

I watched the 3rd movie of the transformers at the world premiere. Came back to here, just to listen to his voice once again. It IS legendary, and i feel like crying when he in the end of all the videoes stands alone speaking to the starfilled universe.

[RRVCrinale]

I love Cullen's initial reaction to seeing Optimus Prime's design and the truck noises he makes. Subconsciously imagining what must be Optimus gargling just makes me chortle.

He gave so much character to Optimus and he's such a big-hearted individual. May he continue to inspire and entertain us as long as he can.

Til all are one!

[TKE31]

There is only one Optimus Prime, and, with all due respect to Gary Chalk (Beast Wars, Unicron Trilogy), I can't imagine anyone other than Peter Cullen's voice for Prime.

[YouGotPwnedLMAO]

i want to go to botcon but i'm only 11

[MISCrazyaboutvideos]

I want to go to Botcon 2010 next year for my graduation from high school trip. The thing is I'm going to have to save A LOT of money since it will be expensive but it will be worth it if Peter Cullen's there. (Yes, I want to meet him as well as some writiers of Transformers. The reason I say the second thing is because my eventual goal is to be a writer; I'd be too nervous to do voiceover work or anything like that.)

[PurpleRanger]

Cullen is the greatest Prime voice ever!!!

[Zeraphalanx]

Wacko Genius. LOL!!

[MikagamiMenou]

Damn smexy voice! XD

[Kanenite2000]

That was amazing to watch! I so want to meet Peter Cullens in person...Autobots Transform and Rollout!

[Gaara296]

What Transformers fan doesn't?

[BSW0048]

Made your weekend? Shit, i woulda thought he would've made your LIFE :D I know he would if i saw him...ever. Lol. And nice going the asking him ot rollout. That made me laugh

[stonecoldvid]

i walays thought that it was someone about 20 - 25 years old doing iptimus prime's voice but since i've seen cullen i was like damn i didn't know someone about 40 - 50 does his voice so well

[rageingwolf]

thanks for this video dude!!!and thanks for asking him to say the role out line:D

[jazzimusprime]

In the next Botcon 2010, somebody should ask him what it would be like for Optimus Prime having a conversation with Eeyore would be like. LOL.

[Leathurkatt]

**falls over laughing** That would be epically hilarious!

[somarriba333]

He is the only Optimus.

[omyda365]

yes, if there was ever such a thing as a sexy robot, Optimus Prime is it. X3

[aniergoddess]

it's amazing that the voices of optimus prime and eeyore from winnie the pooh come from the same person...that's talent.

btw the optimus prime voice can actually be described as sexy

[shaundis2117]

i love that guy

[Galvatron7]

if only lennard nimoy was cast for the second movie as galvatron

[transformersvoice]

There's going to be a Galvatron in the second movie coming out? If so, I completely agree, Leonard Nimoy was absolutely outstanding in the 1986 movie.

[sodapopcurtise]

lol so true sunny246801!

i was thinking the same thing TWILIGHT!!

[kiryuandgodzillagirl]

i know hes cool

[ChaosNinja666]

Long Live the King... the AUTOBOT KING!!!

[MidnightEyes17]

Peter Cullen = Living Legend! It would be such honor to meet him.

[sairbear510]

He is a good friend of my parents. He's an amazing man everything wonderful you could think about him

[transformersvoice]

That's cool that you know him. His Optimus Prime voice is my all time favorite. I wish I could do that voice, but I cannot.

[sunny246801]

cullen. . .i like his last name. TWILIGHT!

[neogemini16]

Kill yourself, you illiterate shit-eating fanbitch.

[casaboaneopiana]

OMG! I agree!!! my fav one is Emmett!! omg!!!

[AnimeG1223]

...........its a common last name look at the mavericks manager

[enerjon777]

Peter Cullen.Optimus Prime.A hero a legend.

[transformerarecool]

amen to that!

[leanna1995a]

what would transformers be w/o peter cullen? he is a legend!

[transformersvoice]

Absolutely. His Optimus voice has become immortalized in my opinion.

[likes2havefun]

I would love to go to this con. It would really be a complete honor to meet Peter.

[loyldtecks]

And he will always be the real Optimus prime to me too.

[loyldtecks]

Oh yeah,I like the last part too by the way!

[loyldtecks]

serj234,you are correct.The reason why I like watching Transformers is because of Peter cullen & Optimus prime!!!!Let's all hear an applause for him!Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(clap clap clap)And he is not an amazing person,he is a very gifted and greatest person I have ever known!!!

[serj234]

no 1 can do primez voice better than him

[matthewjkim]

He is the reason i watched Transformers and the reason i got back into collecting transformers.

ty

[lursa55]

DAMN I WISH I WHERE THERE!!! Peter Cullin ROCKS!!!! I wish I could meet him someday! (like I ever will.) :[

[capodo]

Peter Cullen you are AMAZING.  You will always be Optimus Prime to me!!!

[jiushan64]

Hey did you all know that Peter Cullen went to the school called National Theatre School of Canada. That must be where he practiced his voice and everything he has accomplished came from this school Wow! I want to go there so badly.

[TangIsHere]

What does XD mean?

[CardboardtubeNinja]

Tilt your head to your left.

[yamiyugifangirl]

it's a smiley face, if you tilt your head to the left, you will see an excited smiley ^^......XD i like optimus he's cool =^.^=

[xxxwilly2]

me grimock....kick asss put me in next sequel as well as my dino-buddies!!! me grmlock not need to take a crap.

[armandroh666]

I just hope they get Adler back as Starscream for the sequal

[jhangirk]

Please get Jack Angel back as another classic voice as I'd really would Like Omega Supreme to be featured in the sequel.

[thebigwalbowski]

I'll bet that Ultra Magnus may show up in a future film, so that would be his most likely role if he's cast. ;-)

[RazorRC3]

omg this was awesome! Peter Cullen is incredible!...I only hope the second movie will be as good as the first. I'm really happy to hear that he became Prime's Voice as in the orignal animated series..and i'm glad Frank Welker was also involved as well!

[ArEsZuEs]

Yeah me too can't wait Transformers 2

[StarFighters76]

To be honest, hearing him as Optimus Prime is one of the main reasons why I enjoyed the movie. I can not wait for the sequel!

[van76]

I'm glad that Peter Cullen will be in Transformers sequel as Optimus Prime. I hope they'll use Arcee in the sequel.

[velkann616]

i cry wen Optimus transformed for the first time in the movie XD

[Chuloloc]

Awesome.

[lexSFC]

Man... opening night in Toronto... It was like watching Wrestlemania... everyone was into it... when Optimus first took his truck form in the movie, you could feel the anticipation and electricity. When he transformed into robot Prime, and said, "I am Optimus Prime" everyone just cheered. I had tears in my eyes when I heard his voice... Amazing...

[BigBarnversion1]

that is kick ass he said roll out. love the movie cant wait for more of them to come out.

[Baelmyrrdn]

I met him once, years ago. Despite being suprised at our unexpected visit, he was eminently gracious and kind. I'm glad they went with him for the movie.

[tmradjenny]

I love him!! aweson!!!

[BLARGHEAD99]

aint it weird nobody knew cullen before the transformers 2007 and wth is arcee c,mon chick robot awesome

[DeadmanInc285]

Anybody who was an avid fan of the original cartoons and grew up watching them knows who Peter Cullen was. He also voiced Eeyore in the Winnie The Pooh and does promotional voice overs for Cartoon Network's Toonami.

[Trollblood]

Transformers fans did.

[HyperKabuto]

AWESOME!!! :D

[silverbalto]

thank God he doesn't mind doing this sort of stuff.

some stars would just be like....How much are you paying me?

[SSJLIGHT]

This thing should come with subs because it's pretty hard to hear what they are saying.

[KnightStyleJKT]

He was the only man who could ever play the role... Don't get me wrong Gary Chalk (Beast Wars, Energon, Armada, and Cybertron) did an excellent job. Peter Cullen was the man who made Optimus Prime what he is and the only true voice for him. No one could ever do it better.

[ishman2006]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet !!!!!

[TechNAB76]

Man... I wish I could have been there. We've had for the first time in the Netherlands, the biggest Transformers convention ever held and it was awesome. I hope to find a way to invite Peter Cullen next year.

[blenderfroggy]

Man he looks pretty young. Was he like 18 when he first did Prime 20 plus years ago ???

[calicoboricua83]

he's in his mid 60's I think..but he does conserve himself well...

[YamatoBushi]

I believe that Wikipedia stated he was born in 1956... So he is in his 50s.

[XAytherxRedictusX]

Dang it. You got to meet Peter Cullen! I'm jealous. :(

[BaseballJunkie35]

was that you telling him to roll out

[eternalrogue]

yeah at the end i asked him to say it for us

[BaseballJunkie35]

Can I have your autograph? lol

[djmemoirs]

I just saw the very end. haha way to go!

[djmemoirs]

great video!

pce

[Planetsuz]

Isn't this the 2006 footage?

[huryochagi]

I really look up to Peter, he's got such an awesome voice. I wish I could talk like that. As a little kid in the early 80's, Optimus was like God to me. Respect.

[calicoboricua83]

So do I..God bless that man..

[Starfoxg7]

great guy!

[solidsnakealpha]

Eternalrogue, i must also thank you from the bottom of my heart. Man, I'm 33 yrs old and i still get shivers down my spine when i hear Optimus' voice!

The film is awesome, and this 33 yr old is a kid once again:) Lets get a Frank Welker campaign going too...

[eternalrogue]

thank you for the kind comments :) and yes im with you on the Frank Welker idea!

[fonduelazone]

yup, i agree, frank welker should do the voice over, it would be great if he did galvatron in the next transformers movie

[silverbalto]

Galvatron was plays by Leonard Nemoy, not Frank Weller.

[mosaicthoughtz]

You are correct but Leonard Nimoy only did the voice of Galvatron in the movie; for the seasons that came after the movie, however, Frank Welker did Galvatron's voice.

[rick4777]

@solidsnakealpha i know how you feel, we are the same age and this was like the good old days for us!, great memories from my childhood!

[elpiffy]

what a legend, Peter di a fw other voices too, He the voice of KARR in Knightrider, just before he started doing optimus prime, and If anyone remebrs Voltron Defender of the Universe, he was the narrorator in the show's intro.

[Galvatron7]

he is also venger in the epic cartoon series dungeons and dragons

[transformersvoice]

I never knew that.

[DMSL2007]

Yup that's him as well. Great series shame it never came to it's full potential.

[elpiffy]

I also was had a grin from ear to ear, when I first heard Peter pnarrorating at the begining of the movie. I think it would have been a disapointment if he had'nt played Optimus Prime, It instantly brought back memories of my childhood, Im 33 years old and It made me feel like I was 9 again, so awsome that hid di the voice again, It seems like there might be a sequal, Id love to hear Megatrons orginal voice, and It would be great to hear soundwave's voice again hint hint.

[cheeseynz]

what a legend...

[BotenMikey]

What an amazing guy... His voice means so much to so many people.

[Eclipse2582]

The voice of a generation around the world.

[huryochagi]

Eclipse2582, that's probably the most accurate and truthful description of Peter so far.

[GtarMANDude]

when he first did the optimus voice it doesnt sound like it

[TheGodshandkiller]

This is why they'll be another one...the original decepticon base was in the ocean...now ask yourself...in the movie..where were the decepticons buried?

[AmeliaElias]

Oh God, I can't believe I didn't pick up on that... duh! Man I can't wait for the next ones.

[thathockeydude37]

One Shall Stand, and one shall fall!

Lets transform and roll out.

[SailorChaos]

Does someone have a transcript if this or something? I can barely hear what they're saying.

[jp216purkis]

Peter Cullen is just an all around likeable person. Very talented as well. I'm ecstatic that he got the part.

[PsychoCheese1337]

they didn't show enough transformers in the movie, it could've been so much better >:p

[reggiefinleysr]

Word has it.. they'll be another one. And your wish will be their command. Believe that!!! That's the ONLY major complaint about the movie. Believe me.. they are listening.

[thejoint25]

When Prime narrated the opening of the film, I was grinning from ear to ear! AWESOME!

[webman]

Peter made the movie all the more special.

[jamstorm]

Thanks for sharing this video.

I maybe thousands of miles away here in the Philippines. This video made my evening. Thank you again and I'll sharing this with the rest of the guys at TransFormers Philippines.

Let's Rock & Roll Out!

[eternalrogue]

thank you :)

[Imagown]

Since there might be a second one lets hope they put in Frank Welker as Megatron, because even though Hugo Weaving did good job. You can't cut out an orginial.

[pbrskater]

when I saw the movie my jaw dropped when I found out it was the real optimus prime voice. Ah god the nestalgia I was 4 years old ageen

[g00dwitht0ngue]

have to say, knowing that the voice of optimus prime is such a good guy.... makes me just smile damn it!

[xiaoxia5]

did anyone ask him Ironhide questions or about Welker?

[eternalrogue]

there was a little boy that asked if he got the part of Ironhide in the movie, and nobody asked about Welker.

[PrimaryLotusLee]

Man, I wasn't able to go to BotCon this year. I want to go in '08, but i'm going to England after I graduate.

[bizlok02]

I saw him at bot con 2006, what a guy. Thank you for posting this interview.

[welfarecomics]

I shook his hand!

Swiggedy sweet.

[omegastriker7]

It was so awesome when I went to the Botcon cause it was my first and meeting Peter had just made my day. I never thought I would get this chance.

[dadada75]

was it you who asked him to say the "roll out" bit?

[eternalrogue]

yeah i wanted to get it on film :)

[Sylver1432]

Ooo! Thanks for posting this! I was so sad that I couldn't attend Botcon 2007 and go to Peter's panel. Thanks for giving me a glimpse! It made my night!

[eternalrogue]

you are welcome, i know we all had an awesome time

[zibarti]

cool, but ur reviews are the best :)

[eternalrogue]

heh thank you :)
