While Cullen has lent his talent to dozens of other shows and productions, his work in the Transformers franchise is what many fans know him for. Either it be his work in the 80’s or his more recent credits in the live action Transformers / Bumblebee Movie(s).

With the success of Bumblebee, fans have been clamoring for more Transformers content. So this type of award can help push forward a possible Optimus Prime film, and Peter Cullen himself as well.
