Would be great if everyone showed up for Dan the way the fandom showed up for Peter back in 2006 for the live action film casting. @ThatRyanParrott @TFHypeGuy @TF_Moments

Did you see the 1986 Transformers The Movie in the theater this weekend? Did you stay for the after credit feature Optimus Prime: Awakening? Turns out there there was one last after credit feature many people missed!

Looks like Bumblebee also noticed that he didn’t sound like himself.

Today marks the 40th Anniversary return of Transformers The Movie to the big screen! There have been many iconic movie posters produced for the movie since 1986, from all around the world. These have included international releases, VHS, Laser-Disc, DVD, Blu-ray, product promotions, and more. Nothing is better though than the original though, with Optimus Prime shining bright firing straight up at Unicron! Check out the special screening at a theater near you, and let us know your thoughts on the all new bonus feature Transformers: Awakening!

When you are at @FANEXPODallas with your partners @Blokees and you see the line to sign the guestbook for the late Peter Cullen is longer than the lines for half the guests that are at the show. Speaks volumes to the reach he had doesn’t it? Thanks again for all the memories going all the way back to 1997!

A Tribute to Peter Cullen Few voices have inspired generations quite like Peter Cullen's. As the original voice of Optimus Prime, he brought strength, compassion, and unwavering hope to one of the most beloved characters in popular culture. His performances taught millions that true leadership is measured not by power, but by courage, humility, and kindness. Through decades of storytelling, his work became more than entertainment—it became part of countless childhoods and lasting memories. His iconic delivery of "Autobots, roll out!" and the quiet wisdom he gave Optimus Prime will continue to resonate with fans around the world. Transformers fans got a chance to meet the “real” Optimus Prime at BotCon in 1997, and he was just as kind in person as he was on the screen. Every time Peter was at a show in the years to follow it was a true pleasure to have him as part of the event. In 2011 his years of work as Optimus were honored as he was inducted in to the Transformers Hall of Fame. In 2023 he was awarded a lifetime achievement award at the Children’s Emmys. Peter Cullen's legacy is one of extraordinary talent, generosity of spirit, and a voice that defined a hero for generations. His influence on animation, film, and popular culture will endure for years to come.
