Optimus Prime: "In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us. But the day will never come that we forsake this planet and its people."
Rest in Peace, Peter Cullen.
"Our races, united by a history long forgotten and a future we shall face together. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message so that our past will always be remembered. For in those memories, we live on."
Rest in Peace, Peter Cullen.
“You will never stop at one. I’ll take you both on!”
I quote this line till this day. Still my favorite scene from the Transformers movies. Thank you Peter Cullen for the memories I’ll never forget.
“I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting.”
- Peter Cullen (1941 - 2026)
