In an interview exclusively with Sci-Fi Wire this morning, Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime in the original animated series, the live action Transformers Movie and Transformers The Game, gave praise to Michael Bay as well as confirming that he recorded three times as much dialog as Optimus Prime will have in the final cut. Here are some quotes."Michael Bay is a character unto himself, and he was a cast all himself,"
When going on to speak about Michael Bay, "He could play all the roles when we were recording this together."
"Unlike the animated series, when we were all in a room together recording together, for this movie it was just Michael and [me], and it was rather fun," Cullen said. "He knew all about the characters and had a great knowledge of them all. There were only a few times when he would ask, 'Would Optimus say this?' But that was just at the beginning. He was very well-versed in the world of the Transformers."
"Michael Bay and I never conflicted in the interpretation of the character, nothing at that level. I was comfortable with everything he suggested."
