	'''Jon Bailey''' (born [[March 3]], [[1979]]) is an American voice actor. A long-time Transformers fan, his first Transformers voice acting gig was at [[BotCon 2015]], in the script reading of "[[The Return of Blurr]]". Prior to this, he had voiced Optimus Prime in various fan projects as well as a parody of the character in an episode of ''The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange''. In the time since, he has become a sort of go-to Optimus voice for [[Hasbro]] when [[Peter Cullen]] is unavailable due to scheduling or budget reasons.

	*Bailey provided the temporary voice track for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus Prime]] in ''[[Bumblebee (film)\|Bumblebee]]'', with the studio intending to replace his voice with that of Prime's regular actor, [[Peter Cullen]], once everything had been finalized. However, some of Bailey's temp tracks were accidentally left in the film's marketing material. The official trailer released in September 2018 features Cullen's voice, while an international trailer released at roughly the same time features Bailey, with a teaser released a few days earlier splitting the difference between the two. Bailey also auditioned for multiple characters, including [[Ironhide (Movie)\|Ironhide]], meaning he was originally meant to speak (whether Bailey was originally going to get the role or not is unknown).<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/bumblebee-movie-voice-actor-jon-bailey-talks-about-his-experience/42553/ Seibertron article about Bailey's experience]</ref>		*Bailey provided the temporary voice track for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)\|Optimus Prime]] in ''[[Bumblebee (film)\|Bumblebee]]'', with the studio intending to replace his voice with that of Prime's regular actor, [[Peter Cullen]], once everything had been finalized.

			*Bailey also provided some ADR dubbing for [[Chris Hemsworth]] as his [[Optimus Prime (One)\|Orion Pax/Optimus Prime]].
			*Bailey's first ever Transformers figure was the original [[The Transformers (toyline)\|Generation One]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Toys\|Bumblebee]].
			*Bailey's favourite characters are of course [[Optimus Prime]], [[Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave]], funny since they are the three he usually ends up being cast as the most in a project.
