Exactly. His abilities as a voice actor go far beyond Optimus. He's haunting as Venger in Dungeons & Dragons.
Also…he was the original voice of Mario, in the Saturday Supercade show (a role that even he himself admits he forgot). The voice he used as Mario is so different from Prime, I never would have guessed it was the same person.
Anyway…about time. And well deserved.

Agree to both and congrats to Mr. Cullen.

Well deserved Mr. Cullen!! I still remeber meeting you back in 2005 at a small convention in NYC! The way you treated me at the convention once you found out that I was a Marine was flattering and humbling at the same time!! You have earned this award with all of the voicework you have done!! Now if I was there it would be my time stand up and make all in attendance recognize you for the AMAZING lifetime of work you have done!
Semper Fi and carry on!

Way to go Mr Cullen. I agree he deserves it. As well as Dab Galvizan and Neil Ross to name a few.

Congratulations Peter! Couldn't have happened to a greater guy. Loved him as Eeyore, Predator, Kitt, Spme toonami narration, Ironhide, and of course…OPTIMUS PRIME.

This is a major win for Mr Cullen, and for the Transformers saga.
But Mr Cullen is so underrated, he's done more talented voices beyond Optimus: Eeyore, KARR, Eddie Spencer, and many others.
Congratulations to Mr Cullen for a long overdue award.

Greatly deserved. Mr. Cullen created more than a cartoon persona – for so many of us as children, he helped give voice to an embodiment of ideals, chief among them justice, bravery, sacrifice and most of all compassion. A voice that would reverberate those ideals in our hearts and minds throughout our lives. If nothing else, that is the real triumph of Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime.

It's things like this that momentarily restore my faith in humanity.
Couldn't happen to a better person than Cullen, and needless to say, BEYOND well deserved.
