![r/community - Troy 's mouth is too close to his brain [S01E15]](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/dHjdjb2wEJR2C_yIN1fPIJ9F0_I52aEk8fdOWs2LnTY.jpg)
I don't know how to break it to you, but Peter Cullen is never gonna die. He'll be voicing Optimus Prime a thousand years from now and I wouldn't have it any other way.
As a hypothetical question that is?
Hypothetically I still have literally no idea, lol. I would probably say the guy who voiced Babar, (Can't remember his name just now) but he's dead.
give Peter Cullen and his family an insane amount of money for the right to his voice
I hate AI but I can't think of anyone else ever voicing Prime. I think I'd have to learn to live with this.
For voice acting in roles like this, I think it’s ok, if you back up the money truck for the family
They could literally just A.I. his voice like theu did with James earl Jones as darth vader
Or get a Voice actor that can actually emote
Christopher Judge
I'm on the god of war sub and a fancast sub and while everybody is absolutely entitled to their opinion it gets a little grown-inducing to see his name pop up for every role that involves a live action tough guy even though the guys almost 60.
*groan-inducing
Clancy Brown or Liam Neeson
Clancy would KILL as Megatron, and Liam would be cool as Optimus.
Hands down, guys. David Kaye.
Gary Chalk
Hell yeah
While Chris Hemsworth isn't bad, I personally think Bryan Cranston would be great in the role (even if they're only 14 years apart lol).
spitting on all the wretched scum suggesting to use an AI, fuck right off with that putrid shite
Keith Davids
Christopher Judge
Me too
Keith David
David Kaye or Christopher Judge
Bobcat Goldthwait
LOL that would be funny to watch
Josh Keaton, A.J. LoCascio or Steven Yeun.
Epic Voice Guy.
Came here to say this!
Michael Fassbender or Benedict cumberbatch
cucumber patch as Optimus would be epic
A Bot...
every character should just be voiced by Keith Davids
tara strong
Another robot.
Gilbert Gottfried
RIP
With his regular voice it could work.
Owen Wilson
Christopher Judge
Peter Cullen shoud coach Jon Bailey on how to portray Optimus Prime properly.
Nobody. Give him a meaningful death like in the animated movie (i.e. the only real Transformers movie).
Karl Urban
Probably a dark horse, but I’d say Bruce Greenwood
The guy from Armada
Brad Garrett, with a little voice coaching.
Idris Elba
Christian Bale using his Batman voice.
I guess the option to let something die and create new stuff is off the table?
Jon Bailey. He’s a pretty damn close match.
Chris Hemsworth, I'm excited to see what he'll do.
Chris Hemsworth?
Troy Baker
Kill him off it's about time for HotRods intro anyway!
Liam Neeson
Christopher Walken
Whoever voiced Eeyore in Once Upon a Studio
I don't usually agree with AI voice replication, but...
I say secure the rights from Peter Cullen now to replicate his voice with AI in perpetuity.
Okay, while it's ethically divisive, I think transformers (literal robots) are one type of film where you CAN use an AI version of an actor's voice post-death, if Peter Cullen accepts the same type of deal as James Earl Jones did for Vader's voice.
If the voice behind a digital assistant dies, does the digital assistant get a new voice? Or is Siri (more or less) always going to be Siri? Robots speaking a specific language should be easy to copy-paste pre-rendered lines from a legacy actor. And BECAUSE they're robots, they don't HAVE to pass an uncanny valley 'it sounds fake' argument, they sound weird because they're robots, duuuuuuhhhh.
Wait I thought he already retired? Am I wrong on that
Liam Neeson
Hunter Peterson
I need someone who has a commanding voice whose voice seems like a leader
They need to get a contract that allows for AI reproduction of Cullen's voice after he dies for a few to his family.
Til all are one...
Tbh, Hemsworth channels such young Cullen energy in TF1 that we could just let him naturally age and he’d sound pretty damn close
Jon Bailey
Ron Perlman wasn't bad as him I'm interestedbto see how Chris Hemsworth does, he would be a worthy successor
I'll do it if noone else wants to
Pete Gustin
Chris hemsworth....
If for a darker toned film I’d say Jake Gyllenhaal if it’s more lite toned Seth Rogen
Chris Hemsworth is already voicing Optimus in the new movie.
And it sounds awful.
You right. He sounds like typical Chris Hemsworth, not a character.
Chris Pratt or Tom Holland
You’re joking, right I would go with Keith David or James Earl Jones now nothing personal with Chris Pratt and Tom Holland they’re great actors but I doubt Chris and Tom will make great Optimus prime but Keith and Jim on the other hand have the deepest voices that it really fits as Optimus prime especially his speeches
How About Christopher Judge?
The AI will he fully trained by then. Recasting will not be necessary.
