Notes
- Tudyk didn't actually realize he'd been cast as Optimus Prime right away. As he puts it, when he first got the e-mail offering him the role, his brain instinctively rejected the idea that he'd be asked to play Optimus and instead focused in on the "Prime" part, remembering that there were other Primes from his time on Dark at the Moon and assuming he'd play some one-off joke character like "Optometrist Prime" or "Amazon Prime". It wasn't until he got his script a few days before recording and saw all the lines labeled "Optimus" highlighted that it finally clicked and he started freaking out.[1]
