All Things Transformers

In this special retrospective episode of All Things Transformers, Steve Megatron and TFG1 Mike pay tribute to the legendary Peter Cullen, the iconic voice of Optimus Prime, following his passing at age 85.
The hosts reflect on Cullen’s incredible legacy and the profound impact his voice had on generations of Transformers fans. From the original 1984 Generation 1 series and The Transformers: The Movie to Transformers: Prime, the live-action films, video games, Rescue Bots, Transformers: Devastation, and countless other roles, Cullen’s unmistakable voice became synonymous with Optimus Prime—and inspired fans around the world.
Steve and Mike share their personal reactions to the news, memories of discovering Cullen’s work, and thoughts on why Optimus Prime became such an important father figure and source of wisdom for so many fans. They also look beyond Transformers to celebrate Cullen’s extensive career, including Eeyore, Voltron, G.I. Joe, Toonami promos, K.A.R.R. from Knight Rider, Predator, and more.
The episode also discusses the changing nature of fandom as the generation that grew up with 1980s animation gets older, the loss of other beloved voice-acting legends, and the lasting connection these characters have created.
Finally, the hosts discuss the newly announced 12-minute animated short, Optimus Prime Awakening, which features Peter Cullen’s final performance as Optimus Prime alongside Frank Welker as Megatron and Soundwave. The short will accompany the 40th-anniversary theatrical return of The Transformers: The Movie, giving fans one final opportunity to hear Cullen bring the Autobot leader to life.
It’s a heartfelt conversation about grief, nostalgia, fandom, friendship, and the extraordinary legacy of the man behind the voice.
Till all are one.
