2023年、ピーター・カレン氏は、『トランスフォーマー』シリーズ全般にわたるコンボイ（オプティマス・プライム）役としての演技が評価され、子供・家族向けエンターテインメント分野におけるエミー賞の生涯功労賞を受賞しました。

同賞は、メガトロン役を演じたフランク・ウェルカー氏から授与されました。

ウェルカーさんはカレンさんについて、次のように語りました:

「1984年、状況が一変し、ピーターと私は『戦い』に入りました。私たちは『トランスフォーマー』を手がけることになったのです。
そこでもまた、ピーターはスーパーヒーローであるオプティマス・プライムを、私はその宿敵である邪悪なメガトロンを演じました。
あれから40年が経ちましたが、カレンさんのおかげで、このシリーズは今もなお、かつてないほどの勢いで続いています。
『トランスフォーマー』やオプティマス・プライムは伝説的な存在となり、ピーターの象徴的な演技は、彼を単なる文化の一部にとどまらず、オートボット戦士たちの揺るぎない、そして代わりのきかないリーダーへと押し上げました。
しかし、私たちが彼を認めているのは、その才能や素晴らしい声だけではありません。
彼という人間の内面こそが重要なのです。
誠実さ、忠誠心、仕事への情熱、仲間を思いやる心、そして観客への深い敬意……
それらすべてが、彼を今夜この場所へと導いたのです。」

What is going on. Hayden, Dolly, Tim Curry, Kusama, and now Peter Cullen?

Transformers, especially Optimus, meant a ton to me growing up, and played a big role in my interest in the USA.

😢 #RIP Mr. Cullen🕊️ Till all are one.

Peter Cullen, best known for voicing Optimus Prime in both the original Transformers animated series and the live-action films, has died at the age of 85.

26 years ago today, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors arrived on PC.

Back when an expansion pack could feel like an entirely new game. Big PC box, CRT monitor, hours disappearing before you even realized it.

Still one of the best eras of PC gaming.
