TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on PETER CULLEN

Last month, we lost the man who gave Optimus Prime his voice across the original Generation 1 cartoon, the live-action Michael Bay films, Transformers: Prime, and more - and the viewers of this channel all spoke with one voice of their own, and made clear how they wanted this channel to memorialise him.
