July 22, 2006 - During Paramount's presentation on Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego, the studio made an official announcement regarding their live-action feature film version of Transformers.

While the announcement, which was preceded by a taped greeting from director Michael Bay, wasn't as momentous as the much expected first look at the giant robots in action, it was almost as eagerely anticipated by the fans.

A vocal "greeting" by Optimus Prime himself announced that voice actor Peter Cullen, who played the character in the popular 1980s cartoon TV series, will voice Optimus Prime in nest summer's big -budget movie version.

The announcement was met with rousing applause from Comic-Con attendees. The fans have long desired that Cullen reprise the role he'd made famous on TV.

Good to know that Michael Bay is doing something right with the movie. Now to get the original Megatron voice actor and we are almost all set.

BTW this is Primes look for the movie or so alot of sites say.

Frank Welker is rumored to play the voice of Megatron . And that better be the design of the truck and not the colors as Optimus could be no other color than red and white. Black would be the stunticons lol .

Great to see the makers of the new movie are sticking with tadition and using Peter Cullen,and not bringing in some high paid actor to play the part of Optimus Prime..
