Cullen should ALWAYS be the voice of Optimus Prime.

THe thing about Frank though is that, even though his voicing of Megsy is iconic, he's had roles that are much more iconic to the general populace- most notably as Freddie in virtually every Scooby Doo ever made; I suggest looking up his IMDC...the list is frickin HUGE. For Peter Cullen however, Optimus is his truly defining role and the one that everyone knows him for...especially with the success of the Bay movies in popular culture. Frank may be Megatron for us fans (and pretty much just to us fans), but Peter IS Optimus Prime to a much larger portion of the populace.


If you watched Voltron you should recognize Cullens voice from the intro.
But you are correct, Welker is not dubbed the man of 1000 voices for nothing..


I'm just finished volume 2 of Voltron and yep, Cullen is in that series. He also has a major role in the vehicular Voltron series.

No doubt. Welker and Cullen are damned good, but no one will EVER compare to the late great Mel Blanc- a man who will always be remembered as the greatest voice actor ever. I remember when he died...there were a number of posters that came out with the entire Looney Tunes cast looking down in reverence near an empty mic with the word "Speechless" below it. He was unbelievable and I believe the world misses him dearly to this day.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...


Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).
