We are deeply saddened by the passing of legendary voice actor Peter Cullen, the iconic voice of Optimus Prime and the leader of the Autobots for generations of Transformers fans.
For more than four decades, Peter’s unmistakable voice became part of pop culture. Whether you grew up watching the original Transformers animated series or experienced Optimus Prime on the big screen in some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster films, his performance transcended generations.
Peter Cullen didn’t simply give Optimus Prime a voice—he gave the character strength, compassion, leadership and a soul. His work left an undeniable mark on entertainment, Transformers fandom and even generations of automotive enthusiasts and car culture.
From all of us at SoCalTelevision.com, thank you, Peter, for the memories and for being a part of so many of our lives.
Rest easy, Optimus Prime. Till all are one. 🤖💙
