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."

  1. What's the appeal of Transformers? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't get it. What's so special about transformers? I remember as kid it just another gimmicky, poorly animated cartoon show designed to market little robot cars and other toys. There was certainly nothing memorable the show that would create a fan following, I don't think. Maybe I'm missing something.

    No. I loved Transformers as a child. I have a tape of myself singing the theme song as a CHILD. I did not own any transformers. They were too expensive for my parents. I just got the stupid knock-off Go-bots.

    I don't care much now, even though I loved them then. Sure, if I saw it on TV I'd watch it--if my wife could take it. However, I am NOT excited about this movie. I am too busy studying and doing research for a Transformers movie.

    You see, there is more "More Than Meets the Eye" in psychological research, than in Transformers.

    Do you realize that it is 113 degrees Fahrenheit here? My mind is degenerated to Slashdot level. So Fuck you.

    For what it's worth, I don't think the comment was worth the down-modding. This story may arguably be "news for nerds", but "stuff that matters"? Enough for the front page? Maybe I'm just getting old...
