Good point.
Say what you will about Michael Bay’s Transformers films, but both he and Hasbro clearly understood the value and importance of Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Primepic.twitter.com/1ESiA9n6Bi

Which is funny because now Cullen is out on the TV side and Optimus is voiced by some kid doing an impression who got famous through Vine of all things (because all TF shows are non-union actors now)

Yeah, I’ve been keeping up with War for Cybertron and Cyberverse... Not sure what’s going on with that

Nah, Peter Cullen was the first choice. They had him announce it with a voice recording at comic con

Michael Bay is generally really good when it comes to his voice casts. Even the celebrities he did hire for voices at least had proven voice acting chops and wasn't just using big names for the sake of using big names.

But not Gary Chalk as Primal. ;-;

Maybe we'll get him as Grounder in Sonic 2. He DID cameo in the first one.

Except there were moments where they didn't. Peter himself voiced his disliking of how Optimus was handled as a character. Plus hasbro only brought him in to win over G1 fans when leaks of the designs sent the fanbase in an uproar

None of that has anything to do with my point, and that second bit sounds more like an opinion than a fact, but ok
