Title: Peter Cullen, Voice of The Transformers' Optimus Prime, passes away at 85.

Man, talk about a piece of my childhood gone.

In fact, Cullen voiced Optimus for 40 years (2 generations), during the 80s, 90, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.

When they killed off Optimus Prime in "The Transformers: The Movie", people went nuts, to the point where they had to write his resurrection into the 3rd season of the cartoon series.

I remember that episode. I never knew he did that voice.

And Cullen, I believe, just did the 40th anniversary of "The Transformers: The Movie", the cult classic that has been revered by Transformers fans for decades.

His Predator sounds were amazing.

RIP.
