![]() Though the Axalon computers suggested his beast mode be a bat, he rejected it in favor of the more powerful gorilla. In Transformers lore, he once saved the life of his legendary namesake, Optimus Prime, and he had a rivalry with Megatron, the commander of the Predacons. In battle, he is a brave and honorable warrior - loyal to his friends and respectful of his enemies - though he's willing to do whatever it takes to fight the good fight. In addition to leading the Maximals, Optimus Primal is the captain of the spaceship Axalon. ( Creed II) is directing from a script by Darnell Metayer and Josh Peters, who worked off an earlier draft by Joby Harold. Rise of the Beasts will be led by rising stars Anthony Ramos ( In the Heights) and Dominique Fishback ( Judas and the Black Messiah), and Steven Caple Jr. He also got some comedy experience in live-action, appearing (alongside a young Steve Martin!) in The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour between 19.īut without question, Cullen is best known for that unmistakable voice that we immediately associated with Transformers and Optimus Prime-and now, in the context of Invincible, will associate with Thaedus.The next live-action Transformers movie will center on the Beast Wars, and the globetrotting story - which is set in the '90s - will introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on Earth between Autobots and Decepticons. Transformers voice actor Peter Cullen is revealing how the voice of Optimus Prime was conceptualized for live-action form. Scourge first appeared in the 1986 animated film 'The Transformers: The Movie,' in which he was voiced. He's also provided the voice of characters like Eeyore the Donkey in Winnie the Pooh. In 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,' Dinklage voices Scourge, the deadly Terrorcon leader. He will certainly continue to play into the future of Invincible (and Allen the Alien's ongoing story, if he has any more to be revealed)-and we expect to hear that voice again in the future.Ĭullen, a Canadian-born actor who is now 82 years old, has been consistently working as a voice actor since the '70s and was even nominated for an Emmy for his work on Transformers Prime in 2011. Peter Cullen-the voice of Optimus Prime-voices Thaedus in Incincible Season 2, Episode 3īack to Invincible for just a moment Thaedus, it turns out, has a bit more going on than just what viewers first see on the surface level. He was never supposed to come to Earth (he was actually looking for "Urath"), but it led him to find Mark-who he tells the Coalition of Planets in "This Missive, This Machination" could be the key to defeating both Omni-Man and also all of Viltrum.Īs it turns out, the leader of the Coalition of Planets-a majestic dude named Thaedus-plays a rather large role in the episode, and has a voice that fans of genre television and films will almost certainly immediately recognize. ![]() We'd previously met Allen as someone who, we learned, travels from planet to planet looking for the strongest universal fighters, essentially. ![]() ![]() The episode follows three main storylines one is Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) going off to college for the first time at Upstate University, and another follows his mom, Debbie (Sandra Oh), as she attends the superhero spouse support group that Olga (Red Rush's widow) previously pointed her toward.īut the one we're focusing on for the purposes of this story is a mid-episode diversion that tells the origin and present story of Allen the Alien (Rogen), a friendly Unopan from the Planet Unopa who we find out was essentially bred from birth to defeat the Viltrumites, who we know have essentially launched a universe-wide plan for conquering. Invincible Season 2, Episode 3, titled "This Missive, This Machination," changed that, bringing in an extremely recognizable voice-and one that people almost certainly will recognize just from the voice. We're talking just stacked top top bottom with characters who appear throughout the series (Steven Yeun, JK Simmons, Sandra Oh, Walton Goggins, etc.), recurring characters (Seth Rogen, Mahershala Ali, Ben Schwartz), and seemingly one-off fun (Jonathan Groff).īut one thing in common with most of these notable stars is the fact that they're also notable for their appearances elsewhere in live-action. WE'VE NOTED BEFORE that Prime Video's Invinciblemay just have the greatest voice cast in the history of animated television. ![]()
