I’m so glad that Garry started doing these, he has such a nice voice and I have dearly missed Primal or even Optimus voiced by him. The lyrics were really funny. I can just imagine that funny Season 1 munky face singing this.

Next to Peter Cullen Garry Chalk does a great Optimus.

Hahaha You’re not wrong! Except for the “Mrs” part. I just think it’s amazing that we fans have this kind of joy for the holidays. These guys are the best. Merry Christmas, my friend.

You remember it better cuz you're a NERD and I bet you've watched it more times than he has; RECENTLY…
And for that, we appreciate and LOVE you for it and the knowledge.
Seriously Mrs Candace, if it weren't for you putting all this together, we would have nothing to look forward to ALL YEAR concerning You, Garry and David…
Thank you for thinking of us and have a Merry Christmas!

I love how much fun these guys have with these videos every year, and how they genuinely love both the show and the fandom.

Oh my goodness, Christopher, I’m so sorry to hear this. That is heart-breaking. This is exactly why we do these videos. My deepest condolences to you and your family. It’s so sad to know that we lost such a young, new fan. I will inbox you.
As for other holidays, Garry and I did put together a few other videos last year – because of the anniversary – for St. Patrick’s Day, Independence Day, and “Beast Wars Day”. It’s very difficult to put more than one out a year because these guys can get really busy and they simply don’t have the time. Garry would not have the time to write his own lyrics, which is partly why I wrote them for him. Also because I remember the show better than he does. Haha

Looking forward to David Kaye's rebuttal.. Yess…
but Megatron is going to need a long soak in his CR Tub after that one… Yesssss.
A couple years ago, Kaye did a Holiday message and was changing his voice for every line with each of his characters. "Animated" Prime chief among them but I don't think he used his Treize voice.

Thank you (three) so so much for this. It's kind of embarassing how much I'm reacting to this one.
The allusions to plot-specifics from his character's journey (not just surface-level "zingers" that would be so much easier for filling in a song) show a real depth of appreciation for the role, and the fans.
It's not just nostalgia, and no disrespect for Mr. Perlman, but GC would have been stellar to have back as Primal for RotB. There's a convincing candor to his voice, a sort of glimpse of empathetic understanding behind a firm but unaggressive resolve. My wife loves Stargate SG-1, and I even heard it in his portrayal of Chekov.
Optimus Primal is my children's godfather… "god-bot-er"?
As others have said, feels like the first honest smile in a while. And as Mr. Chalk himself said in the video, it IS a difficult season this year (for my family at least) but we WILL get through it.
Thank you all again, and truly wishing you the happiest of holidays.

Holy crap, I completely forgot that Garry voiced G1 Megs in Beast Wars. Yes! Turn the whole thing on its head.

Or BW G1 Megs fighting Animated Optimus
