Till All Are One: A Tribute to Peter Cullen

Over the weekend, The Transformers: The Movie screened at theaters in the USA and many locations around the world. Depending on location, you may still be able to see the movie in theaters, check local theater to see. As part of that screening, before the movie Hasbro added a tribute to the late, great Peter Cullen who died on August 27 at the age of 85 that they have no made available online. For the description of the video they wrote:

For generations, one voice taught us what it meant to be brave, to be kind and strong enough to be gentle. 

Peter Cullen didn't just give Optimus Prime a voice. He gave him a heart, and in doing so, inspired millions of fans around the world to believe that true strength comes from compassion.

The Transformers community has lost a legend. But the lessons Peter shared, the memories he gave us and the voice that brought so many of us together, will live on across generations.

Thank you, Peter. For the voice. For the heart. For everything.

Till all are one.

Optimus Prime: Awakening Score

The full score for Optimus Prime: Awakening has been posted online. The score by Bobby Krlic (aka The Haxon Cloak) is for the 12 minute short that screened for the 40th Anniversary of Transformers: The Movie. Krlic also provided the score for The Wrecking Crew, Invasion, Snowpiercer (TV series), and Blue Beetle. The short is the last time Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime. The short is expected to be part of the home video release of the movie

Happy Transformers Day

Friendly reminder that today is Transformers Day as it is the day that the cartoon series first premiered on September 17, 1984. This is also the day that Transformers: The Movie returns to theaters for its 40th anniversary. Don't forget after the credits there is a 12 minute short that is the final time the late, great Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime. I think the movie will be in US theaters until September 22nd but dates vary by region so check your local theater.
