According to The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ, Peter Cullen, the legendary voice actor, has passed away at the age of 85. Transformers fans of course grew up with Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime and Ironhide. He would go on to reprise his role as Prime multiple times including in the live action movies and Transformers Prime. However, his credits span decades and across an incredible variety of roles. I myself met Cullen on many occasions and I always found him to be an incredibly charming, affable and generous soul. Ben's World of Transformers sends its deepest condolences to Mr. Cullen and his loved ones.
