• Erwin Grunspan has dubbed Optimus Prime/Primal in more episodes than any other French-speaking actor.
• Following his departure from the French dub of Transformers: Cyberverse after season 1, the role of Optimus Prime was taken over by Benoît Grimmiaux for subsequent seasons, breaking a 13-year streak of Optimus Prime/Primal being voiced by Grunspan in every animated series (but not in the movies or the videogames).
