[TFATM]

Please use this thread to discuss the Peter Cullen set for Transformers Prime news story on the main site.


Advertising Age has had a chance to sit down with Hasbro concerning their venture with the Discovery Channel called The Hub to discuss many of the shows.  The main news from the article is the annoucment that Peter Cullen will return to a Transformers animated series.



Some of the Hub's most high-profile shows will be updated versions of
well-known Hasbro programs from the 1980s, including "G.I. Joe,"
"Transformers" and "My Little Pony." The latter is being re-imagined
for young girls by "Powerpuff Girls" creator Lauren Faust, while the
new "Transformers Prime" will feature the voice of Peter Cullen, the
original voice of Optimus Prime from the animated series as well as the
Michael Bay-directed feature films. Additionally, "Transformers"
feature screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci will act as
showrunners. "G.I. Joe Renegades" will spotlight the Joes on the lam
from government forces and the agents of Cobra, a storyline that echoes
the recent feature film released by Paramount last summer.
Although little information is known regarding ­Transformers Prime­ it is likely the show will either be a prequal to the live action Transformers movies, set in the same universe or an "alternative take" on the Movie verse.
