Peter Cullen Chosen to Voice Optimus Prime (Again)
bigdady92 writes "Yesterday at Comic-Con it was announced that the new voice for Transformers the Movie was to be Peter Cullen who will voice Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots. Peter Cullen was the voice of the original Optimus Prime. The lending of his voice to the cast in a quick 'intro' at Comic-con was greeted by unanimous cheer from the crowd. Many fans, internet boards, blogs were calling for the return of Cullen to voice his most famous and well-loved character Optimus Prime."
I am guessing you are one of the following.
As a child There were transformers but you never liked them much. You may have preferred He-Man, GI-Gjoe, or Something else.
When you were a child Transformers were either Non-Existant just starting but you were a little to old to like them much.
WHen you were a Kid Transformers were going out of style.
When Growing up you had Transformers and you liked them but you are trying so hard to be grown up you hide you wish to play with toys like you did as an adult.
I am an adult to. I am getting Married Have my own how, work a full time job which pays more then the national average. I am a responsible mature adult by all measurements. But heck I still like transformers I watch the DVDs yea in retrospec the cartoons were a little cheesy but still they were fun. What is there not to like about Robots turning into cars and back.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
I've never bothered to watch G4 in the past as everything I've tried to sit through was, well, painful. The closest thing to any of their content I'll watch is old reruns of ST:TNG. With their claim of a Transformers exclusive I was suckered into recording it on the DVR. Thankfully I was able to watch it on FF until they got to the segment on TF that I was waiting for. And we all know the rest...

Or maybe he thinks on his own rather than going with the mindless sheeple that goes with whatever is popular., or maybe he just outgrew them and doesn't go by nostalgia.
I am of the former, I wasn't into whatever was popular at the time. I don't go for the brain-rotting device called television. I spend a good part of my free time reading. That brings me to another point, whatever happened to children entertaining themselves by using their imagination, or is it cool and the 'in thing' to follow the crowd like a bunch of mindless sheeple.
What "creative" changes? In 1995 Optimus Prime was a red-black long nose truck sporting flames.
Also if VW was unwilling to allow Bumblebee to be a New Beetle in the current Alternators toy line, why do you think they would allow him to be a New Beetle (or an old one) in the movie?

This is my opinion. To make sure you don't steal it, it's covered by the DMCA.
I hear you on the mass thing, but I think the clever boys over at Hasbro have this one licked. Check out the Alternators line. They're amazing.
