Peter Cullen Transformer Interview

zap2it.com has posts a interview with the voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen, that is a little walk down memory lane do the beginning of the animated Transformers cartoon and the movie. Nothing is revealed about the live action movie, but an interesting read for any generation one fan.

"When I read for it the very first time, it was pretty much confusing because it wasn't your normal animated cartoon," he says. "I saw a sketch of [Optimus Prime] and a character breakdown. It interested me because it was different, it was new and there was no real challenge to create a voice due to the physical characteristics of the character. It was a mechanical toy, so it could be anything."

The interview is here.
