If anything, it shows Prime's personality a bit more, rather than just having him being serious the whole time. Even in the G1 cartoon he would have a fun moment here or there.


Exactly. And if people had actually read the article thoroughly they would have seen that Cullen got a kick out of the "My bad" line and wondered if he would get to do more. I find it hilarious how people cut small little quotes out of this and turn them into an argument opposite of what the quote originally meant.

If Cullen *got it* then I think it actually might work as Prime befuddled by Human mannerisms.

IT looks like Cullen *got it*.

When Peter Cullen is starting to worry like this, you know it's going to really stink. What a pity! Over 20 years of waiting gone down the toilet.

This was a good interview. Cullen gives interesting responses.

Bay is making Prime into a very stupid and silly character.
Believe me, 'My Bad' is only one of numerous clumsy lines that they will give Prime.

this movie is meant to bring in non fans and relate to kids.. and MY BAD is widely used by all walks of life and kids these days, so much so that it has even prompted Peter Cullen to say it in the Transformers movie, i wonder if that phrase is going to be added to the webster's slang section of the dictionary because of the popularity and over use, even if its aweful grammar??

I think that the "My bad" line will work because he's probably mimicking something his new human ally said earlier in the film. It's showing him developing as a character through learning the human language and relating to our species. I do, however, draw my optimistic line if stupid stuff like "Foshizzle and Blingitty Blang" are strewn throughout the movie.

That was a good read, I'm glad he didn't just tell the same story again that I've heard/read in the majority of these interviews.

Yes, I couldn't quite decide exactly what Cullen's view on the movie is.

Yet another great interview from PC. Why do I have a feeling that the 'My bad' line gonna sound cringe worthy.

I just found this article, so my commentary comes a bit late (well, okay, VERY late).

I was at Matsuri during this Q&A, and, in fact, I asked two of the questions posed in the article, though I was paraphrased. And that's somewhat unfortunate, as the “Q”s added additional humor to the “A”s. Verbatim quotes would've been great: one of my exchanges with Mr. Cullen was hilarious.

Anyway... I'm glad this was recorded for posterity. Mr. Cullen was an incredibly likeable and interesting person. Even my friends, who aren't devotees of TFs, thought he was awesome. Seriously. I'm 22 and I'd hang-out with this guy for fun. He also remains incredibly humble and gracious. That's a unique combination to see in such a confident and cool individual.

A friend of mine video-taped a portion of the Q&A, but exited the auditorium abruptly after embarassing himself by asking an inane and baffling question (something unintelligable about Mr. Cullen taking Will Smith's role in Bad Boys 2). Mercifully, that was omited from this article. He plans on turning the footage into a parody based on his faux-paux, mixed with footage of our group generaly doing insane things at the Con and elsewhere.

I'm going to attempt to get an unedited copy first and provide video of Mr. Cullen's Q&A (though he recorded only about half of it). Text doesn't do him justice; he was just fantastic. I overheard multiple anime fans say, after specifically stating only passing-interest in Transformers, that Mr. Cullen was the best part of the entire convention.

As an aside: I don't like anime, and therefore I can't judge the other aspects of the Con accurately. However, I was repeatedly told that the Con sucked and that Mr. Cullen was its only saving grace.

I think many of you are assuming it's gonna be like Alicia Silverstone in Clueless "Ohhhhh MY baaaaaad!"

Just play it in your mind with the calm demeanor of OP and everything is okay ;)
