60 of 111 · most liked firstsaw the The Transformers The Movie re-run I really enjoyed the new post-credit short, no spoilers, way more interesting than I expected, Cullen had two line reads that are some of his best work tbh hopefully Optimus Prime Awakening goes up for free viewing once the theatre run is done
positive · AI labelView post →Like many, I watched Optimus Prime: Awakening this weekend as part of the 1986 Transformers movie re-release. How does it hold up? And is it a fitting send-off for Peter Cullen? Here are 8 thoughts on the animated short... --> tfsource.com/blog/20... What did you make of it?

positive · AI labelView post →I think the Optimus Prime: Awakening short film has been done a pretty egregious disservice by marketing that primed people to expect "TFTM epilogue short film", a thing which it is not and is not trying to be, rather than "episode 0 of a larger future story", which is what it clearly actually is.

positive · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime: Awakening has divided Transformers fan opinions in ways you would never imagine a 12-minute short film could! But why is it such a hot topic, and is the actual story any good? We get to it in a new podcast chat --> www.patreon.com/trip... What did you make of it?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Transformers the Movie and the Optimus Prime: Awakening short film in theatres. Hearing Peter Cullen's first and last recordings in a theatrical run as Optimus Prime brought tears to my eyes. Rest in Peace.

neutral · AI labelView post →The twelve-minute short, entitled “Optimus Prime: Awakening”, uses the art style of the 1986 film to “connect fans to the franchise’s past and future” in a “love letter to the Transformers community” with new voice work by Frank Welker and, in his final performance, Peter Cullen.
neutral · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime Awakening is a 12 minute short that was shown after a screening of Transformers The Movie. I’m not sure what exactly it was supposed to be. Maybe a story of what happened while Prime was dead? Good performances, poor writing, confusing and unneeded. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

positive · AI labelView post →I'm off to see The Transformers The Movie The Apology Tour featuring Optimus Prime Awakening. Heard so many wildly different opinions on that short.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw it during it's original run when I was a kid. I cried twice in the movie. my dad had to take me out of the theatre when prime died. He said he'd take me back next week if I promised not to cry. We also had it on VHS when they showed it on TV as a special with live action scenes between commercial breaks. Had that tape for like 20+ years and wore it out. I know every. single. line in that movie. I can quote it from beginning to end. It's honestly my favourite film of all time and yes I…

positive · AI labelView post →Just got out of my showing for the #Transformers 40th anniversary. Still a great movie, and the new "Optimus Prime: Awakening" short they added at the end was REALLY cool and an excellent send-off for Peter Cullen. #TF40 #Transformers40th

positive · AI labelView post →Went & saw 'Transformers 40th Anniversary: The Apology Tour' in theatres today. Took my OP plush made by @/plushi.bsky.social to enjoy òuó 'Optimus Prime: Awakening' was amazing & well matched to the original 1984 TF film. A beautiful tribute to 40 years and to Peter Cullen. Til all are one 💙
positive · AI labelView post →Seeing that film followed by Optimus Prime Awakening felt like getting the closure I desperately needed. Thank you peter cullen, I won't ever forget how much you've inspired me.
positive · AI labelView post →Had a great time at the 40th Anniversary screening of Transformers: The Movie. The after credits special Optimus Prime: Awakening was amazing and a perfect send off to Peter Cullen. Pictures taken by my girlfriend :3

positive · AI labelView post →I was in Wilhelmshaven tonight and watched "Transformers: The Movie" and "Optimus Prime: Awakening" at the UCI Cinema and I'm still misty-eyed. If you ever liked any version of Transformers at all, please go see this. You won't regret it. #Transformers
positive · AI labelView post →First poster for ‘OPTIMUS PRIME: AWAKENING’. The animated short features the late Peter Cullen’s final performance as the character. It will play after screenings of ‘THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE’ from September 17-22. (via ScreenRant) #OptimusPrime #TransformersTheMovie
neutral · AI labelView post →Just got home from watching "The Transformers: The Movie" and "Optimus Prime: Awakening". A good film and a good send-off to the man that gave Prime his first and most iconic voice. Keep on truckin' up there, Peter. We'll miss ya.
positive · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime Awakening was a visually beautiful, but largely vapid and confused, epilogue to The Transformers The Movie Obvs no one knew it would be a send off for Peter Cullen as Optimus but good lord the message of the short could not have been more antithetical to the spirit of the character
negative · AI labelView post →Cora Buhlert Review: Transformers: The Movie and Optimus Prime: Awakening file770.com/cora-buhlert...
neutral · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime Awakening feels like it was writing someone who hadn't actually watched any Transformers before Like it directly contradicts the themes of the movie it's supposed to be an epilogue to
negative · AI labelView post →Managed to catch a screening of the 40th Anniversary Transformers the Movie and also the short Optimus Prime: Awakening in Brisbane. The short was definitely made all that more poignant as Peter Cullen's final performance, a new final chapter and goodbye.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched the Transformers Movie anniversary in cinema today. Totally awesome and totally worth it Knowing that Optimus Prime: Awakening was Peter Cullen’s last ever performance as Optimus Prime broke my heart watching it
positive · AI labelView post →the TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE (1986) + OPTIMUS PRIME AWAKENING (at da pictures): the thing is blown up on the big screen, you can catch all the errors in the animation, as an adult I can see the pacing & plot flaws, but like, it still hits hard, it's a tour da force of a movie. And the short was good.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw Transformers: The Movie in theaters with Optimus Prime: Awakening. Peter's final performance as Optimus was great and it further makes me miss him. Frank Welker also returned as Soundwave and Megatron.
positive · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime Awakening felt a bit too abstract for my tastes. If they wanted an epilogue to the 86 movie I’d much rather have seen some kind of funeral for Optimus where the surviving characters get to say goodbye and we, the audience, get to say goodbye to them.
negative · AI labelView post →Transformers the movie is still a wild, and incoherent ride (30+ minutes in). I'm glad I went to see it in theaters with a friend last night, but the "Optimus Prime Awakening" as a post-credits was a massive let down. That short was just bad, and I hate that's Cullen's last role as Optimus.
negative · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime: Awakening was stellar. We need a full length movie or series in this style.
positive · AI labelView post →(From Screening Film) First look at 'OPTIMUS PRIME AWAKENING', starring Peter Cullen in his final performance as Optimus Prime. The 12-minute animated short is described as a love letter to the Transformers community & Peter Cullen. (Source: screenrant.com/transformers-m...)

positive · AI labelView post →HOLY PRIMUS!!! I just finished watching Transformers: The Movie. This is the first transformers movie I’ve seen in cinema and I’m so happy it was this one. Almost bawled my eyes out, Optimus Prime Awakening was an amazing farewell to Peter Cullen #transformers #transformersthemovie
positive · AI labelView post →Earlier today I went to see the Transformers movie for the 40th anniversary. I stayed behind for Optimus Prime Awakening, which raised a lot more questions than it answered. Still, I did enjoy myself.
neutral · AI labelView post →77) Transformers: The Movie(1986) with Optimus Prime: Awakening(2026) RIP Peter Cullen. While the '86 movie is fun and brutal with the Transformers death, it's still a pretty metal movie- 7/10. As for the Awakening short, it gives us a good send off to the original Optimus Prime.- 10/10
positive · AI labelView post →After watching the Optimus Prime Awakening short film, I wanted to try to draw Optimus again.🥺🌹 Here is a sketch of how he is looking so far.

neutral · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime: Awakening A visually beautiful animated short that I wasn't expecting to see after the movie, hadn't heard it was a thing. Makes for a weird bittersweet tribute to Peter Cullen, who gives a wonderful final vocal performance as Optimus despite how old his voice sounded at this point
positive · AI labelView post →The post-credit short film “Optimus Prime: Awakening” is really good, and of course, it definitely hits so hard, like close to home. RIP Peter Cullen, thanks for the memories, and everything. "'Til all are one"
positive · AI labelView post →I enjoyed the “Optimus Prime: Awakening” short after the movie (particularly the callbacks to the first episode [I think] of the original cartoon) but I’m still not sure what it was supposed to *be* or how it fits into the continuity.
neutral · AI labelView post →And just, FINALLY seeing The Transformers The Movie in a cinema after a lifetime of small screen viewings was so much fun 💖 11,778,000 out of 10, best movie ever, please put it in imax for the 50th 🤭 (Will keep lips sealed re: Optimus Prime Awakening until after the screenings end ❤️ )
positive · AI labelView post →saw the 40th anniversary showing of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE tonight to relive my childhood trauma and then the special OPTIMUS PRIME: AWAKENING to heal it. It felt like the most loving goodbye Peter Cullen could have given us.
positive · AI labelView post →Besutiful tribute to Peter at the beginning — had us all sobbing! ; Guy next to me was quoting pretty much the whole movie and I was living for it. ; Optimus Prime Awakening was fun! ; 4DX cues were NOT synced with the movie. Why was I being tossed around when literally no action was happening? 🤣

neutral · AI labelView post →Optimus Prime Awakening is such a great Animation! I don't like it being cannon to what happens in the movie, BUT as its own independent short film, its fantastic. The Art style & how it was animated is some of my fav. in a long time. I want more! Optimus Prime in his purest form 😊
positive · AI labelView post →After watching Optimus Prime Awakening for Movie 40. ...hmm. I get what they are trying to do.but it's very head handed and doesn't explain enough. So it will go over like lead balloon. 🤷
negative · AI labelView post →But the REAL kicker was after the credits: they showed a brand-new, animated farewell short film called Optimus Prime: Awakening. Knowing it was his final performance made it profoundly emotional. It was the ultimate, perfect send-off for a legend.
