Original Optimus Prime Actor Will Read You a Transformers Bedtime Story
The Calm Kids app has partnered with Transformers to provide a bedtime story read by Optimus Prime himself. The Transformers franchise, which began with the 1984 toy line and its tie-in animated series, follows robots from outer space who can shift their shapes, disguising themselves as cars and other vehicles and machinery. The benevolent Autobots are locked in a desperate, eons-long battle with the evil Decepticons. The franchise has existed in many forms throughout the years, but the most prominent contemporary version is the series of live-action films that began with Michael Bay's 2007 Transformers, starring Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox. That franchise has run for six films with a seventh, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, expected in 2023 followed by an animated Transformersmovie the next summer.
The leader of the Autobots is known as Optimus Prime, the good-hearted hero who constantly faces off against the wicked Decepticon mastermind Megatron. The character was originally voiced by Canadian actor Peter Cullen in 69 episodes of the original series, as well as in several spinoffs and animated films. In the years since, the character has been voiced by several other performers, including Neil Kaplan, Garry Chalk, and David Kaye, but Cullen returned to voice the role in the live-action franchise and has been the primary voice for Optimus Prime for the last decade and a half.
