*Inspired by [[David Kaye]], Garry Chalk has been delivering annual Christmas greetings since 2017, partially in character as Optimus Primal. The videos can be found on Candice N. Santora's YouTube channel, <ref>Candice Santora's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/iCandiS/featured</ref> as well as the Primal Parodies <ref> https://www.facebook.com/primalparodies/ </ref> Facebook page. Candice is the creator of “Primal Parodies” who approached Chalk about getting involved with the holiday tradition. She is the main writer, producer, graphic artist and video editor for the greetings/parody carols.
*Chalk did not return to voice Optimus Primal in ''[[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)|Power of the Primes]]'', but did give his approval to [[Ron Perlman]]'s casting.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ActorGarryChalk/status/953142713158914048]</ref>
**Similarly, he did not return to reprise his voice role as Primal in ''[[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts|Rise of the Beasts]]'' either, but again gave his approval to Perlman reprising the role.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/Seibertron/posts/10159345310975070?comment_id=10159345983715070</ref> For clarification, Chalk was never approached to reprise the role of Optimus Primal for any of the reiterations (PotP, Kingdom, Rise of the Beasts) that the character has been involved with.
*At TFCon Toronto 2018, Garry revealed he had also auditioned for the role of [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] however he agreed that [[Scott McNeil]] was simply better in the role.
