Looking for a good laugh? TFW2005 member, Deceptigtar has recorded and posted a new Toys R Us commercial featuring Peter Cullen, who plays the role of a Robots In Disguise 2015 Mega Optimus Prime toy. In this short role, Optimus learns about Toys R Us’s price matching and his omnipotence as a baby doll explains TRU’s system and points out that there are in fact many Optimus Primes. The Autobot leader then comes to a shocking revelation similar to Buzz Lightyear’s from Toy Story and gives us a good laugh. Check out the video after the break!

Just caught the commercial for the first time. Very hilarious.
A truly funny out-of-character moment from Peter Cullen. :

Much better.
DUDE YES…LET'S DO IT!

That was awesome! If only Peter could appear in a Toy Story movie as Optimus!

As if we needed more reasons to love Peter Cullen.
I love any reason to love him, but it's all gravy now. What a fun man.

Now we just need someone to use the audio to edit Pinkie Pie revealing to G1 Optimus just how many versions of his character exist.

Still funny as hell.

Ditto, Prime's getting stiff in his old age. This commercial is a breath of fresh air.

Yeah I don't see the problem in having some fun with Prime and letting him let down his guard sometimes and enjoy being with his friends. Maybe with RID being more kid oriented they might have some moments like that in season 2, but since it's a lot of the same people that worked on Prime I won't hold my breath.

Thank you someone else who sees it that way. Everybody here shits on Jamie Simone's voice director for Prime because of Optimus but honestly it's the writing that holds back Optimus as a character.
I miss G1 Prime, he was fun.

I'm getting the urge to replace Peter's screams with the Duck Army.

cool commercial!
Unfortunately, thats exactly how the TF section looks all around here..
JasonPrime
I don't think that is the fault of the voice directors, I think it's the fault of the writers. They intentionally wrote Optimus as very serious and even had the other characters joking about it, "Primes don't party."
Though I admit I got a good laugh the one episode where Jack asked Optimus:
Jack: "Optimus… you want to see something funny?"
Optimus: (deadpan) "No."
I thought that was funny. But all and all, yeah I missed G1 style Optimus who played basketball with Spike and showed some real emotion. I didn't think it was necessary to make him sooo relentlessly serious in 'Prime'. But hey what do I know.

Hilarious, absolutely loved it
Also did anyone else get an Dr. Smoov SOS Wheeljack flashback when Prime said "Explain"?
Autovolt 127
AUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!
That was priceless.

I was a little "meh" at first, but the entire shelf full of Primes got me at the end.
Lord Of Tetris
I realize I'm not the first person to point this out, but…
That was more emotion than Optimus Prime showed during the entirety of TF: Prime. Again, I feel very silly pointing this out, but Optimus was actually having a conversation with the girl, instead of giving some grand speech. Whoever voice-directed this commercial should have directed TF: Prime.

Sumalee Montano says it was Tara.
Onslaught24
Same. Especially when she said "Look to your left."

Really? Sounded like Tara Strong to me
