Peter Cullen, the voice actor of Optimus Prime, just passed awayRIP </3
>>11886057That sucks so damn much. He was the voice of every version of Optimus Prime except for the last one. He's simply irreplaceable.
::grabs the Matrix as it falls::
>>11886057What the hell???? I was just about to go to sleep!!!!
>>11886058We'll never get another Optimus Prime as perfect as him...</3
We need a better OP image.
Im beyond upset

CAN'T THEY JUST RE-ACTIVATE HIM LIKE THEY DID IN THE CARTOON?
>>11886057NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RIPDolly PartonTim CurryPeter Cullen>>11886131and again DJW
This was supposed to be a joyous occassion.
>>11886057Sad but not surprising, these last few years he started aging really fast. In one of his later public appearances you could totally tell that he struggled to organize his ideas and follow the flow of the conversation, even more so when Frank Welker was at his side and acting perfectly normal. I was ready to see the sad news sooner than later.RIP. Now he's one with the Matrix.
>>11886173He's been battling cancer for the past couple of years. And he's 85. He had a full life. It just still sucks when you see your childhood dying.
>>11886168I hope they pivot the marketing from "OOPS SORRY WE KILLED OPTIMUS" to celebrating the character. But like Cullen himself said, if he was going out he was going out big.
>>11886115Autobots, transform and rollout
A sad day in Transformers history...

>>11886057Light our darkest hour.
>>11886115til all are one
>>11886167The bit before that where he told his brother "I'm a truck! But...you know, a hero truck!" was genuinely fucking funny.Man this sucks. I could have met him at TFNation but the coof stopped that happening. A real damn shame, I would have loved to have met the man, by all accounts he was lovely.
>https://youtu.be/HMdpUP81HbI?si=kr29u4pWGMUmh_Lb>"Heroes never die. I, Optimus Prime, can never be conquered!"
This death fucks me up, and right before the "apology tour" thing they're doing next month of the old film. Guessing I gotta go see it now...>>11886115Till all are one.
>>11886057RIP
I never liked trucks.I never liked cars.I barely watched transformers, and when I did I did so in between add breaks of other shows.I never liked plastic toys, or shows that are just adds for plastic toys.But when Optimus spoke, when Peter spoke,I knew why you guys do.Till all are one
>>11886115TIL ALL ARE ONE
>>11886276I haven't seen any, can you point me to them?
I tried drawing Prime in memory of Peter Cullen.

>>11886057May he be one with the Matrix.
>>11886374>apology tourHuh?
>>11886390Gary Chalk was always my first Optimus. Because Unicron Trilogy, not Beast bores. Peter Cullen was my Toonami guy
>>11886427They're calling the re-release of of the original film next month part of an "apology tour".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U62UyYw7ekThe promo was made 6 months ago, and was tongue and cheek in the fact that while Optimus has returned post death in numerous incarnations; it's widely known how the creators/everyone involved in making the film regretted killing him off in retrospect. But now...
>>11886057RIP to a real one.>>11886115Till all are one...
>>11886374>>11886463It is sort of funny that the stupid little tongue in cheek thing they cooked up for the rerelease accidentally became incredibly depressing right before release.

Rest in peace , Optimus. (Apologies. My parents only bought me Go-Bots and I never got a G1 Optimus.)
>>11886115Open, dammit! Open!
>>11886058>He was the voice of every version of Optimus Prime except for the last oneNo he wasn't?
>>11886456>Toonami guySame. I knew him from transformers but all those Toonami promos he narrated were so cool. You can pick any one of them at random, and they’re instant classics. Knowing Optimus was narrating your Toonami block with TOM bought you into it completely.
>>11886057I will always love Peter and everything he was that made optimus.It sickens me to see these trannys and liberals trying to claim he was on their side and using his passing to fuel their agendas. Genuinely makes me sick to my stomach.Thank you for everything Peter and giving us one of the greatest heroes ever
>>11887101You are a fucking psycho, holy shit
RIP

>>11886517Rosie o'donnells time will come
Pic taken circa 2011....it was a different time for Transformers back then. >>11887097He just gave every promo this air of importance and gravity. The guys at Toonami made every premiere feel like an event and the voice of Optimus Prime himself elevated every series they aired into being something special, even when the show turned out to actually be awful. >>11886115Till all are one.
>>11887403>Hot Shot,Overlord(Ultra Magnus in Japan), Arcee, Perceptor, Blurr)>Cupkek got a smirk from me 15 years later.
>>11887403>He just gave every promo this air of importance and gravityAnd it worked in reverse for the comedic shows, too, like his Hamtaro promos.
Still haven't quite gotten over it. Really hoped to meet him some day.
His voice will live on forever in my expensive as fuck Robosen toy.

>>11890548I know you've been brainwashed into seeing trans boogeymen everywhere and to bring up your culture wars bullshit apropos of nothing wherever possible, but could you please show some basic human decency for once in your life and just let the people in this thread grieve together without trying to force an argument?
>>11890554Anon its useless. These people are fucking brainrotted. Schizos like >>11890548 are why i barely even come to this site anymore. And if you think its bad here its even worse on /co/ if you can believe it.
>>11887101Kill yourself
>>11886057Big F, to be honest i saw this coming the moment they started canceling his convention appearances last year. Will miss the old lug and bayverse prime is still one of my favorite characters despite peter allegedly hating optimus's portrayal in those movies
>>11890559Your tantrum right now is why /pol/ needs to be nuked off here
>>11890561I don't care about your heckin Pol boogeyman, I'm just here to laugh at those heckin chuddies and those chunky little Pinkertons
>>11890560I heard he didn't actually hate Bay's take on Prime, but I suppose we'll never know now. Probably my least favorite version of Optimus to be honest, but I did think it was pretty funny when he killed Kelsey Grammer.>>11890556I'm all too aware /co/ is somehow an even deeper circle of hell at the moment. I should probably just give up and start using other sites more too. And I know that trying to change the minds of people like that anon is pointless, but sometimes I just can't help myself when I see someone being that much of a stupid asshole.

>>11890585I've never watched TADC and I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Feel free continue lashing out at imaginary people though I guess.
>>11890586>I don't know what's up with you buddy but trannies are wholesome and definitely don't want to molest vulnerable children in the locker room
>>11890576>I suppose we'll never know nowThere's an interview floating around where he says he really liked working with him. We do know.
>>11890560I hate the warcrime meme. Because it all comes from 2 youtubers and not from engaging with the source.In the comics, all the cons are worse. Comically so. Shockwave kills Elita in front of Optimus, on purpose. Sentinel was basically racist, and Megatron hated living peacefully with Optimus next in charge.Megatron kills him once, he's got free reign to kill him again even if the original script was for them to shake hands. Sentinel was his father, adopted, however the betrayal was something that could only end with putting him down. Him surrendering was not going to stop the conflict.
>>11890603Honestly anon that sounds like a load of hoo-ha because we all know how terrible those films really are while actual good series like idw's mtmte is what saved the franchise
>>11890560How was he a war criminal?
>>11890607https://dangilvezan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Peter-Cullen-Interview-Scrolling.pdf
>>11890554Pronouns bullshit was literally written into the cartoons with a sassy Black girl lecturing Optimus on getting the pronouns of one of his autobots right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrK8SoiIC04
>>11890622I'm aware. How is this in any way related to mourning Peter Cullen's passing and celebrating his life and career? Answer: it's not, you're just using a man's death to push your own political ideology. Pretty despicable behaviour, if you ask me.
>>11890622Where's the lecture? This is what has you mad?
I only just fuckin realized he voiced the toonami bumpers
>>11886517John Goodman is immortal.
>>11886517They were all old, and made it above the average lifespan of a person. It was going to happen. The big question is when do Clint Eastwood and William Shatner go? They're even older.
>>11890576Ive been trying to use the internet as a whole alot less lately. I dont think their is a good alternative to 4chan as ive used it for most of my life when internet browsing, but this place is so rotten from culture war world discourse that its nigh unusable anymore. I was a /co/mrade for years and i cant even discuss cartoons anymore without any thread i either make or go into devolving into /pol/ 2.0 topics around 4 posts into the thread. Shit is so awful here i wish the 4chan stayed dead at chicken jockey.
>>11890650I bet both will go this year but the shat will outlast clint as ive heard eastwood isnt doing too good currently
>>11890677NTA, I come here whenever I want uncensored discussion about something people wont talk critically about because it involves the exact thing that pol harps endlessly about.Earthspark has its faults, but it isn't the gender shit. It's the whole writing team and treatment of the cast who aren't the clear IDW favorites. I ended up liking Seasons 2-3 more than 1 for the simple fact that it didn't feel like a bad fanfiction. Not even a good fanfic. It was a show for kids written like a show for adults who can't let go of childhood hang ups.If you try to share your opinion in a discussion elsewhere, you'll get called racist or your post deleted. Racism comes with majority of the threads on 4chan, so it isn't impressive and thus, not included in the discussion. Also, being a collector, it's a different form of discussion more than anything that could come out of leddit, twxitter, or misery incarnate the forums.
>>11890679Its fine to be edgy i love edge too, but what i cant stand is when people arent even criticizing shit or discussing anything and a thread just derails into some nut ranting about sone off topic political spasm. I cant even talk about cartoons anymore at least /toy/ is more on topic half the time then /co/ ever is anymore. Thats my problem
>>11890680Yeah, troons ruin everything.
>>11890695Reactionary faggots like you ruined 4chan far more then trannies ever could
While I am sad he is gone, I am more happy that he lived so long and played Optimus for as long as he did.
>>11890633People being polite is offensive to assholes. >>11890679Never actually watched any Earthspark myself, always felt it would be too...childish...in that I feel they wrote the show for super young kids while also assuming said kids were dumb. Kind of like that kiddy Spiderman cartoon, where the series is just vapid colors and noises shaped like super heroes. If I want to watch a Transformers show for Pre-schoolers, I'll stick with Rescue Bots, which was surprisingly fun. I watched it a lot with my 2 y/o and while definitely young kid friendly, the show was still entertaining while not being vapid. The fact it has an actual continuity to the storyline was surprising and I kinda wish the team from that show appeared in more Transformers media. Also, I'm super disappointed the firetruck dude's only modern figure was just a Bulkhead repaint. He's got a great silhouette and a transformation that on paper should be easy to translate into a good figure, so the fact they went with a lazy repaint will never not irk me.
>>11886057He crossed the humbling river.>>11886115Till all are one.
>>11891122I agree, on both replies. I do think it is in character for OP to apologize over something trivial. But it's also condescending in presentation.The tone of the series, unlike Rescue Bots, feels like it is aimed towards three year olds and twenty three year olds who hound JRO on twitter about Whirl's sexual preferences. But then you've got Mandroid who isn't a villain I don't think is appropriate for small children. Dr. Morocco was a great kid TV show villain. Mandroid is a Prime antagonist who got stuck with a bum script. The toys were so bad I didn't buy them when I had the chance to get them discounted. I rather like Megatron's look, and Bee. But the toys, sans Soundwave, are some of the worst shit while being overpriced.A trend they continued with Cyberworld in which the show gives the everything to market a damn near 1:1 accurate replica, transormations included, and the toys are $20 bargain bin plastic waste.
>>11886424NTA but you definitely don't have 'the best words'
>>11886115 Till all are one. Do you remember there was a National Guardsman who officially changed his name to Optimus Prime.Also if Peter came back, telling us all to tear down the gates of Hell - we would.
>>11890622God in heaven was that terminally cringe.
>>11893711>>11890622The man died and you guys are falling for the culture war psyop you might as well be bot farm bots rip Peter
>>11890622The characters being ugly was already enough for me to avoid it. So I had no idea this scene existed, and it's just another excuse for me
