For an entire generation of children, his was the voice that ordered the Autobots to “Transform and roll out!”
Peter Cullen, the Canadian voice actor who gave life to Optimus Prime for 40 years, died Wednesday according to multiple media reports.
He was 85.
Born in Montreal, Cullen was equally famous as the voice of Eeyore, Winnie-the-Pooh’s glum donkey friend.
Other famous roles include Monterey Jack from Disney’s Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers and the evil K.A.R.R. on Knight Rider.
