In a great way to close the first “Transformers Day”, the official Hasbro Pulse YouTube account have treated us with an interview with Frank Welker & Peter Cullen, the voices of Optimus Prime & Megatron.
This would be the last of the interviews with the voice talent from the Transformers 40th Anniversary Celebration Table. Mr. Cullen and Mr. Welker need no presentation for the Transformers community, being one of the most beloved and respected original G1 voice actors.
Enjoy this 21:36-minute interview after the break and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Michael Bell: "So Chris Latta became a sweat mop during sessions. I made it a priority to put some new guy between myself and Chris"
Frank Welker: "So Michael is on one side and Chris is on the other…"
I love these interviews.
IGEBM
Yes, I believe they’re interviewing the entire cast for that, and these two were the last ones

What a treat it is to get these two in a room! Love their dynamic as both the characters and as lifelong friends.

Two of America's greatest treasures! I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Cullen last year at GalaxyCon, and he was such a kind and humble person. I am looking forward to seeing him again at TFCon and finally meet Frank for the first time. Honestly, if you're a G1 fan and haven't met Peter (and I'm sure the same goes for Frank), make it a priority if you ever get the chance. Peter is the kind of guy who proves the old saying "never meet your heroes" wrong!

Are these just the ones from the 40th anniversary screening that was in theaters?

I got to meet Mr. Cullen and shake his hand at Galaxycon in March after he signed Prime\'s trailer for me, truly a kind man who lives up to the hero he represents.
This was heartwarming to listen to, Frank seems down to earth, fun loving and also great to be around.

Hope I get to meet Optimus Prime himself this November!

A cameo by Peter Cullen as Optimus’ driver is incredibly overdue. I’m surprised there have been 7 live-action movies and they still haven’t made this happen. That would be epic. The fans would love it (I think it would be a clap and cheer moment in the theater) and I believe Mr. Cullen would be deeply honored. It would be a great way to honor his involvement in the franchise.
Story-wise, it would also help to humanize the giant alien robot leader.

Always great seeing them together. I really hope they reprise their roles in the next movie. And hopefully we can finally get Peter's cameo as Optimus' driver!

Love it. I don't know if I would have ever been interested in Transformers as a child if it weren't for the amazing voice acting.

Always a pleasure to see these two. (o´∀`o)
Not had the pleasure to meet Welker as of yet but I can absolutely confirm this for Cullen, holy moly.
