Report Claims Transformers Voice Actor Peter Cullen Has Died at 85

Reports claim that Peter Cullen, the Canadian-born voice actor best known as Optimus Prime in Transformers, has died at the age of 85. His family reportedly said he died at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday, surrounded by relatives. No cause of death was disclosed. Cullen voiced the heroic Autobot leader in the original 1984 animated series and returned for several live-action Transformers films from 2007. He was also known for voicing Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, K.A.R.R. in Knight Rider, and vocal effects for Predator. His portrayal of Optimus Prime made him one of animation's most recognisable voices. Fans especially remember the emotional reaction to Optimus Prime's death in the 1986 Transformers film. The reported death should be independently verified, as the accompanying image does not appear to show Cullen.
