'''Peter Cullen''' (1944–) is an American voice actor (though originally from Canada) who has earned fame, respect and admiration as the voice of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|the original Optimus Prime]].

In 2006 it was announced that he would be voicing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] in the 2007 movie as well. And there was much rejoicing (One person started complaining. He was torn limb from limb, skewered and eaten).

In addition to Transformers, some of Cullen's other roles include Eeyore from ''[[Jim Cummings|Winnie the Pooh]]'', Venger from ''Dungeons & Dragons'', Bankjob Beagle from ''Ducktales'', Cindarr from ''Visionaries'', [[Zandar]] and [[Nemesis Enforcer]] from ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', K.A.R.R. from ''Knight Rider'' and as the title villain from ''Predator''. He has also recently done announcer work for commercials for the U.S. Navy, taking over the job from [[Keith David]], the announcer for the U.S. Navy for a number of years.

* Yes, Optimus Prime is his favorite voice acting role.

* He also loves being [[Wikipedia:Eeyore|Eeyore]].

* At [[BotCon 2007]], Peter Cullen said he'd love to own one of the three modified [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] trucks used in the filming of [[Transformers (2007)]]. Let's try and picture Optimus Prime driving himself for a moment. Has your brain exploded yet from the sheer awesomeness?

Frank Welker

[[Image:FrankWelker1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|So good, it's scary.]]

'''Frank W. Welker''' (February 16, 1945-) is an American voice <strike>actor</strike> god. Though it is but the tip of the iceberg, some of Welker's most notable roles include Fred from ''Scooby Doo'', Ray and Slimer from ''[[Dr. Susan Hoffman#Dr. Hoffman's Assistants|The Real Ghostbusters]]'', Santa's Little Helper in "The Simpsons", Nibbler from ''Futurama'', Dr. Claw from ''Inspector Gadget'' and that parrot that got eaten by the shark in ''Deep Blue Sea''. He has also done nearly all the animal sounds recorded for cartoons in North America in the last few decades. Though he has given voice to numerous Transformers, he is particularly remembered for his portrayal of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]].

Basically, if you haven't seen a cartoon with him in it then that's because you've never seen a cartoon in your entire life. Unless it was one of those public domain 1930s cartoons which sell for a buck at Family Dollar, of course.

==Trivia==

*[http://www.bwtf.com/bw/tvshow/episodes/seasontwo/agenda2/ According to Ben Yee], [[Bob Forward]] desperately wanted Frank Welker to reprise the role of Generation 1 Megatron for the [[Beast Wars]] episode "[[The Agenda (Part 2)]]" and even offered to go to Welker's home in California and tape-record his lines there. However, Welker declined the role supposedly because Forward was unable to offer him a sufficient amount of money and his schedule was too busy.

*For an episode of [[Cartoon Network|Adult Swim]]'s ''Robot Chicken'' series, "Werewolf vs. Unicorn", Frank Welker reprised the roles of both Soundwave and Megatron.<ref>http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c3921449e2e901144bddc6af00c2</ref>

*Throughout the 90's, Frank Welker was the official voice of [[Steven Spielberg]] in all his animated appearances in shows like ''Tiny Toon Adventures'', ''Animaniacs'' and ''Freakazoid'' but one: the ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' episode, "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian", in which Spielberg played himself in his first appearance on the show.{{-}}
*On a Futurama commentary, Billy West referred to Welker as "a voice-acting god", an appelation that has stuck in various fan communities.

Transformers The Game

2008-05-01T17:17:54Z

198.22.236.230: /* PlayStation Portable */

[[Image:Transformersthegame logo.jpg|center|500px]]

'''''Transformers The Game''''' is a series of computer and video-game console games produced by Activision in conjunction with the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 live-action film]].

The online multiplayer game [[Battle for the Allspark]] is essentially an elaborate ad campaign for ''Transformers The Game''... most versions of which do ''not'' support multiplayer action (bummer.)

==Versions==
===[[Transformers The Game (console)|"Console"]]===
The "main" version of the game is available in the following formats:
* Nintendo Wii
* PlayStation 2
* PlayStation 3
* Xbox 360
* PC DVD-ROM

===[[Transformers The Game (PSP)|PlayStation Portable]]===
This game exists. Apparently there are a lot of playable characters; movieverse characters exclusive to this game who someone really, really needs to document.
The gave deviates from the movie plot, focusing more on background characters not seen in the movie, including Thundercracker, Shockwave (as a triple changer. They one eyed drones are implied to be loyal to him), Hound (a tech specialist) and Trailbreaker (voiced by Steven Blume).

Upon beating the game, several characters are unlocked for online play, including Wheeljack and sideswipe among others.

===[[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS]]===
There are actually two games for the DS, ''Transformers Autobots'' and ''Transformers Decepticons''. The games have different storylines and environments, but the basic gameplay elements are shared between them. However, the similarities between the two end at altmodes and environments. While Autobots very loosely follows the movie story, Decepticons offers a much more unique twist, focusing on the Decepticons and their attempts at resurrecting Megatron.

====Autobots====

As mentioned, this game revolves around the Autobots and their attempts at preventing the destruction of Earth and the resurrection of Lord Megatron, the former military leader of Cybertron. After the battle of [[Tyger Pax]], [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]] Arrives on Earth, landing in the Las Vegas Casino Strip. After a quick run-down with Ironhide, he teams up with his fellow Autobots to retrieve the AllSpark, searching the quiet (and appropriately named) city of Tranquility, but later heading to the Hoover Dam and even going as far as the Arctic to find the frozen remains of Megatron. All the while, Create-A-Bot must learn what it truly means to be an Autobot.

====Decepticons====

Similar in setting but unique in portrayal is the flip side of the story, ''Decepticons''. Here, a [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|nearly identical robot]] has come to Earth at the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to find the source of a distress signal from a "lost" Decepticon somewhere in the area. However, Starscream keeps many important pieces of information to himself, including the location of the AllSpark and the identity of the Transformer locked in the icy grip of the Arctic. While this Create-A-Bot has to learn that being a Decepticon means loyalty to Megatron, it also becomes apparent that though they fight for different reasons, the Autobots and Decepticons are aiming for the same goal, namely peace on [[Cybertron]], and also that their senses of honor are not that far off.
