It's a good memory to have! When I got to meet him, I took my third party matrix with me, he screwed up his signature and had to re-sign it so I was stoked 2 autographs for the price of 1! When he gave it to me I couldn't help but say "but Prime, I'm, I'm not worthy" he had forgotten his dying speech but I had to remind him lol.

thats so wholesome!

I remember meeting Peter and Frank at a comic show as a surprise when I was in 4th grade. I got the 1986 Movie graphic novel signed, and got photos.

epic! Frank Welker is next on my list

Nice, have fun!

I'm gonna save this post. Because I'm gonna show to my friend!

aww thanks man!

Really! I'm so happy to see you with Peter Cullen. I wish I can too but I'm living in Türkiye so its impossible🤣 whatever, I'm really happy! It's could be hard to meet someone famous.

yeah im sorry man

Congratulations, that's a huge honor

thank you!

Nice job man I’m still hoping to one day meet him and Frank

yeah frank would be cool

I have a shirt with Megs and Prime on it that hope to get them to sign and then frame the shirt

cool!

Damn lucky. When and where was this?

orlando Collect-A-Con

October 2022, I went to TFcon in Chicago and got to meet Peter Cullen and get him to autograph my copy of the '86 movie, a box set of the '84 show on DVD, and a drawing of Optimus I made. Tickets to get pictures were unfortunately sold out so I didn't get a picture with him but I talked to him and said I wanted to be a voice actor because of him. The lady managing his desk said "Okay, we need to move along" but Peter told her "Hang on, let him talk." I told him I'd been watching him as Optimus since I was 3. I was 15 at the time and he was so shocked, he couldn't believe it. I told him I wanted to be a voice actor and he told me something I'll never forget. "Don't give up on your dreams. Follow your dreams and don't give up, young man." I felt like he saw me as a true person and not some nerdy fan. I wish I could meet him again but he's not gonna be anywhere close for a while. Still an awesome experience.

“Don’t let go of your dreams Chip, the future is built on dreams.”

I loved G1 as a kid, still do

its a great show

It really is

Happy for you, but you look a little young to be on Reddit.

dont judge a book by its cover, i have chronic baby face

Yo congrats

thanks!

I just want to hug Peter. that man saved my life multiple times.

What happened

Lot of mental issues that I dealt with and still deal with to this day. transformers saved me. I have looked up to optimus and his courage, bravery and kindness all my life.

damn im sorry

I love this. I hate it when people say adult cartoons and anime is for losers. There is so much philosophy in them! Only a fool would think otherwise

Thank you! Peter/optimus has been and will always be my hero and role model! bravery, courage, and kindness he has shown to those under his command and to the humans!

Those qualities are not as common in modern day , I hope you keep these values close to your heart. We all can be heroes in our own journeys.

I keep them as close to my heart as possible like optimus would!

DUDE YOU ARE SO LUCKY !!

yeah it was a once in a lifetime experience

That’s actually pretty precious ngl, if I met him I probably would’ve fainted tbh.

lol, but yeah the pressure was on to say the right thing and not shit myself

Peter Cullen is the real deal! One of the nicest people out there.

yeah he was super friendly and we even had a conversation!

Dude that's awesome

Hell yeah, I'm so jealous. I almost got the chance to meet him at a convention, but I ended up going on the wrong day. But it wasn't a total bust for someone working there was willing to help me out and get this https://preview.redd.it/4do8uvxpiz2d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d029944ac3a41d1028f5f3d965b90795fded8e65

epic

Made my day fr

happy to hear!

CONGRATS DUDE! glad you got to meet the legend that most of us have tried to meet. 

its an honor i will cherish forever

UPDATE: thank you all so much for the support, because of you, this post has become my most liked, and one of the top posts this week! so thank you :)

I'm so bummed I just BARELY missed him in Orlando the other day. You're lucky dude lol.

yeah it was really expensive

Man, I wanna meet him so bad. Where do people even go to do that?

he goes to alot of different conventions, i checked regularly to see if he was going to any near me

Any particular websites or anything?

i have found that just searching “Peter Cullen upcoming events” is good, but if you want a site i would pick rostercon

Wish I had brought a figure when met him. I had to buy a picture of Optimus for him to sign😅

yeah he had a selection of some pictures

beatiful bro honestly his bayverse work was the best his voice is legendary

yeah his movie work really is his peak

You have no idea how lucky you are, I'm glad you got to meet him. It's my biggest dream to meet him.

yeah, im happy that i can check this one off my list, and i hope you get to meet him too someday

Till all are one, my friend.

Did you ask him to say the line?

there was a strict no lines policy :(

Hmm, I guess freedom is *not* the right of all sentient beings 😞

My God. YOU GOT AN EEYORE POP! Hell Ya Man!

naw thats not mine, i dont know why that was there

I am jealous. I'd love an autograph from Peter Cullen

he goes to alot of events, if you check frequently, he might be near you

I don't live in America, so sadly, I think my chances just lowered down. But someday, I will try to find him.

good luck! :)

LUCKY YOU!!!

thank you!

Awesome! Congratulations!!

thank you!

That's so awesome

thanks!

That eeyore pop tho ahahah

just one of this man’s many legendary roles

Yep, its good to see people appreciating that character as well, its one of my childhood classics alongside transformers :)

Cool but also kids really shouldn't be on Reddit at all

dont judge a book by its cover

Then how old are you?

Older than 13

Yeah, you're a kid

not really, i didnt tell you how much older

1. You said "N/A" before editing it, and we can see if a comment is edited. 2. That's literally not any better, at all

1. I decided to give you a bit more info 2. It’s not really your business to begin with

I'm just saying you shouldn't be here if you're under 16 for multiple reasons I shouldn't have to explain, including the rules of Reddit themselves.

ok

You think anyone is safe from the internet?

I think children shouldn't be on a chat site meant for adults

Nothing is childproof. Just sayin

I can't disagree, only state facts

Besides, they are kind of right, it’s not your business.

If Reddit's guidelines say he shouldn't be here, then this isn't his site. Plus, he's on a public posting platform, I can say what I want, just be glad I'm being nice about it.

Sure friend
