Description of Optimus Prime (Orion Pax):

The leader of the Autobots in their war against the Decepticons, Optimus Prime is a noble robot that believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. He has fallen many times over the course of his different incarnations, but always returns in the Autobots' darkest hour. He truly believes that true peace may never occur until "All Are One". He has had several alternate modes throughout his many different incarnations, but is most renowned for his earliest transformation into a semi-truck.

hisakoshintani18 Peter Cullen is the GOAT voicing Optimus Prime, but... As some folks would say: Nothing can stay the same forever.

hisakoshintani18 As for Alan Tudyk, I've heard him portraying Optimus Prime (nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!! Not even going to start on this abomination, this one took a step WAAAAAAAAAY back to how the original G1 Optimus was, well actually he doesn't even remotely act like Optimus Prime at all, he is as retarded and stupid as Patrick Star. Not to mention that ugly maskless face design and the weird uncanny expressions he does, Eww nooo....) in that EarthZZZpark trashy and abysmal cartoon. And let me tell you, it was AWFUL! IT LOOKED LIKE ALAN TUDYK (LIKE THE ENTIRE CAST) ONLY READ THE SCRIPT!!!

- hisakoshintani18 @gaogaiced Yes, trash. Horrible character designs, character flanderization, a cast that doesn't fit with the characters, human characters that don't contribute to the plot (they're just filler), and the Terrans, who have that unnecessary surname Malto (which is really disrespectful for the Cybertron lore), are too obnoxious, no character development at all. And the worst part: Forced Inclusion (*cough* *cough* That sissy non-binary Nightshade... *cough* *cough*).

- gaogaiced @zetamusprime7 so? That doesn’t mean that any Optimus Prime who’s not voiced by Cullen is terrible they each have their own charm

gaogaiced There are certain incarnations of Optimus Prime who are not voiced by Cullen that I am very much happy with, and some that I think should be voiced by Cullen

hisakoshintani18 For me, Kellen Goff is the perfect successor to Peter Cullen. With the voice tone for Glamrock Freddy (Gosh! I love him) in Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach, he can give Optimus Prime that serious and stern demeanor, although with a bit of that sweet, goofy and somehow corny touch. So, while he is a determined leader and soldier, he can also be a goofy dad.
