EVERYONE SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK WELKER

[whatwooshkai]

none of my friends/family are transfomers fan so I'm gonna share my excitement with you guys:

PETER CULLEN WON THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD!!! AND Frank Welker presented it to him??? Megatron presenting that award to Optimus Prime feels so full circle, I love it. It's totally well deserved, I look up to Peter Cullen so much and seeing him recognized for everything he's done was just so cool to watch! I actually nearly cried during his speech. I hope he's able to keep voicing Optimus Prime for as long as he wants to.

frank welker doesnt get enough credit for the fact that hes so good at voicing fred jones that hes just been doing it for nearly 55 years at this point

and like, Fred Jones had frequently had his character shifted by various writers and usually to make him more comedic in different ways. And it's such a testament to Welker's voice acting ability that he's always nailed the comedy inherent to Fred's character even in very different iterations of him

As we had previously reported, Peter Cullen received Emmy’s Lifetime Achievement Award last night during the 2nd Annual Children’s and Family Emmys.

In a very emotive ceremony, Megatron’s voice Frank Welker presented the award and Mr. Cullen gave us a great and touching speech.

“And now, a time to thank my many Transformers fans and friends…with all my heart. We…are one.”

A totally well-deserved honor to the iconic voice of Optimus Prime as well as a tribute to all Mr.Cullen’s career.

--

"Transformers and Optimus Prime have become legendary. And Peter's iconic performance has made him not only part of the culture, but the undisputed and irreplaceable leader of the Autobots.

But it's not just his talent or that magnificent voice that we recognize. It's who he is. His honesty, his loyalty, his passion for his work, care for his friends, and his deep respect for the audience.

That's what's brought him here tonight."

Profiles in Villainy  

The Phantom Blot

The master criminal known as The Phantom Blot is a vain and diabolical cad whose desire for money and power is only surpassed by his need to immortalize his name in ‘the annals of crime.’  The Blot’s lust for power and fame have led to countless nefarious schemes that range from simple theft to attempts to conquer the entire world.  

Shrewd and cunning, there is no crime too outrageous nor bold for The Phantom Blot.  He is a master of disguise and a brilliant inventor; he can hypnotize with a mere glare and can escape any prison or bindings…  a frightening fink to be certain!

The Phantom Blot’s villains endeavors have led to numerous confrontations with Mickey Mouse.  Oh, how The Blot hates Mickey!  He has set dozens of traps and orchestrated all manner of plots in his effort to be rid of Micky Mouse.  Through luck and guile Micky has managed to evade these schemes and thwart the Blot’s plans.  

Although a thoroughly deplorable scoundrel, The Phantom Blot does have a soft spot for his beloved daughter, The Phantom Brat.  The Brat has followed in her father’s footsteps of villainy and aspires to be an even greater menace than her dad.  

Aside from Micky Mouse, The Blot has also matched wits with Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, SuperGoof and Scrooge McDuck.  While he prefers to work alone or use witless henchmen, The Blot has been known to team up with fellow villains, specifically the Beagle Boys and Mad Madam Mim.  Although The Blot would never join forces with Magica DeSpell; for some reason the Blot hates magic and has taken steps to rid the world of all magic, witchcraft and sorcery.   

The Phantom Blot has also run afoul of the Ducktales crew and his plans of world conquest have been foiled by Donald Duck’s nephews and niece, Huey, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby.  

Actors Frank Welker, John O’Hurley and Giancarlo Esposito have each voiced the sinister Phantom Blot.  The villain first appeared in a 1939 comic strip entitled Micky Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot.  His first animated appearance was in an episode of the original run of Ducktales called ‘All Ducks on Deck,’ originally airing on December 30th, 1987.

Happy Birthday, Peter Cullen! If it hadn't been for your brother, Larry Cullen who told you many years ago that if you're going to be a hero, be a real hero, and be strong enough to be gentle, be humble, and be courageous, then Optimus Prime wouldn't have been the wise Autobot leader loved by fans all over the world. I drew this picture before Peter Cullen turned 82 and I drew a picture of him and his friend, Frank Welker in front of Optimus Prime and Megatron. I hope you like it.

The Pits: superable. Survival guaranteed with your presence. Thank you, Frank Welker, for bringing so many beloved characters to life through your voice, as well as through the energy and passion you bring to every role. No matter the timbre, no matter the tone, you always nailed it. From Dr. Claw to the Cave of Wonders to Fred to Garfield to (of course) Megatron and Soundwave to so many more, your performances never cease to amaze me. This is my artwork for the "Peace Through Tyranny Zine," hosted by @allsparkzines ! Thank you, mods, for putting this together! It was wonderful to be a part of it.💜
