Peter Cullen Talks “Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters” with MTV Geek!

Published on March 29, 2013, in Interviews, News.

Whenever Peter Cullen gives an interview we all listen.  And here is another recent interview where he discusses season 3 of Transformers: Prime (Beast Hunters).  The story arc has come full circle from the first episode.  

One of the reasons this fan site came to fruition was because someone had to pay homage to Peter Cullen.  Just read the below interview. Everything that a role model should be – Peter Cullen is. He understands the huge responsibility of what Optimus Prime has become.

MTV Geek: You have a couple generations who know your voice acting as Optimus Prime. What goes through your mind as you’re processing that?

Cullen: I would have to say a mixture of feelings. Certainly, it’s an honor and I never forget that fact. It is staggering when you isolate a thought like that and think about it. But there’s responsibility to it, there’s gratitude, there’s that sense of awe that it could actually happen.

When you really do think about it, you ask the same questions: “How did that happen?” and “Who do I thank?,” “Who are the many, many people and the many ingredients that were necessary to allow all that to happen, where does the gratitude actually go?” But I do take it quite seriously, as you can tell. (laughs)

Geek: What has changed for you as Prime over the years, and even since doing The Hub show?

Cullen: Well, I think the ingredients changed, but certainly not the good versus evil, and the way we approach that. That seems to be always relevant and predominant. We’re going into Season 3 and it really is kind of exciting because it’s not just Autobots and Decepticons. We’re getting into something else … just the hint of the name, Beast Hunters. That’s a prequel to what’s going to happen imaginatively. We’ve done that before, we dealt with it in Dinobots, and things like that. But this is huge. This is much, much bigger, and it takes it to a new level.

Geek: Has your approach to voicing Prime changed over the years or it is very much the same as in ’84?

Cullen: It’s exactly the same. And, you know, the ingredients that I used way back then are the same ingredients that temper my interpretation and my feeling, and in the end result, the expression of it. It’s a feeling. It’s a feeling that I have when I put all the ingredients of his character together. It’s what comes out of me that comes from other places, and my past, and my life, my upbringing.

Everybody’s going to approach a character differently, depending upon what they bring to it on their own intellectual level or their feelings from their heart and soul. And this just happens to be mine, and it just stays with me. I can’t stray from it, it comes up because that’s the way I feel it and that’s the way I interpret it. I always will, I always try to stay very true to what he says, and I fight for his character traits because sometimes there are written-down lines that I would take exception to because I would say, “in my gut, I don’t think he’d say that.” I’m sure that goes for a lot of other characters as well; people want to fight for maintaining that integrity that they’ve had since the beginning.

Peter Cullen Talks about Transformers 4 and Transformers Prime

Peter Cullen

 

What better way to hear that Peter Cullen is going to be at least involved in the new and upcoming Transformers 4 movie than from the man himself.  Peter Cullen gave an interview with IGN and he talks about his role in the new movie and the end of Transformers: Prime.  Read some of the article below:

 

IGN: When last we saw Optimus on Transformers Prime, things weren’t going so well for him, to say the least.

Cullen: Yeah, he had a rough go last season, but I think he gets up on his feet… You wouldn’t have a Season 3 without Prime getting on his feet! But it was a surprise to me too, because I’ve been through that once before in my life many, many years ago. I croaked and didn’t come back for 20-odd years, but that’s not the case with our Season 3 and Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters.

IGN: What are you most excited about this season?

Cullen: We’re introducing whole new characters. I can’t get into too much detail about it, but I know the kids will be excited and the adults as well. Certainly there are great characters and great acting. The Predaking character is phenomenal and Frank Welker as Megatron is back at his best, making it difficult for me. Steve Blum is full force, as usual. And I’m really looking forward to the viewing again tonight. It’s something that I think everybody is going to enjoy on March 22nd.

IGN: This is the last season. Does it build towards a big finale for the Transformers story?

Cullen: I don’t think there’s ever going to be a big finale. I think, as all series go, it’s always a transformation – there’s a good word! – into another environment. But it’s pretty much like man going to the moon, you know? “Well, that was one season, but now we’re going to Mars! Now there’s a whole new adventure there!” Who knows? I think it’s just as exciting to be wondering where it’s going to go next, you know?
