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.
incredibly important scene to remember when considering the truth of the trial is the one from 2x04 where Armand freezes and manipulates an entire restaurant of people, including the entirety of the theatre coven (save Santiago who he chastises alongside Louis). And it was nothing. He seemed far more annoyed than burdened or overwhelmed. Meanwhile season 1 Lestat commanded a group of soldiers to exit his house peacefully and started bleeding from the ears from the amount of effort it took.
Humbled and grateful to Epic Impact Society for surprising me with the Legend Award after my onstage creative process chat with the brilliant Tricia Garwood. Thank you old friend Dennis Baker for introducing me to all the above.
