Peter Ha; the technology editor for TIME and editor of TECHLAND, sat down for an interview with none other than Mr. Peter Cullen.

While the main focus of the interview was Transformers: War For Cybertron, Mr. Cullen expressed his view regarding the continuity of Transformers: Prime.

"An interview with Peter Cullen needs no introduction. He's the man behind the iconic voice of the leader of the Autobots that many of us grew up with in the 80s. With the recent resurgence of Transformers hysteria due to Michael Bay's live-action adaptations, Peter Cullen has been hard at work on the films, video games and upcoming cartoon series. We recently had a chat with him about all things Transformers. I may or may not have tinkled a little in the process. It is, after all, Optimus Frakkin Prime.

How is the Optimus Prime in War for Cyberton different than other Optimus Primes?

In the game it's perhaps a little different in that he jumps around saying things that are activated by the actions of the player. There will be a consistency in his character but you won't be able to find the same significant emotions he would have with a written script in the movies or cartoons. From what I've heard and what I've seen of the game it's a very interesting combination to have an individual play into, let's say a cartoon, he's now in the cartoon with Optimus Prime and I think that's a very special ingredient to have.

Do you have a routine to get into character?

Well, not really. Generally, I just assume the character that came to me from the very beginning that's based on my brothery Larry who was a Marine Corps captain that served in Vietnam. Larry is 13 months older and when he came home, I noticed a great difference in him. He was more composed and understanding. All his character traits that I saw in him, I applied to the breakdown of the character when I first auditioned for him, so I don't have any problem recalling Optimus whatsoever. His basic components are courage and compassion and dignity and honor and integrity. There's really no energy involved. I just think of my brother and read the words and then he comes out.

You've said in the past that you were able to improvise while shooting the movies. Were you able to do that in the game?

Somewhat. There were opportunities to perhaps change an attitude that wouldn't be consistent with Optimus as he would be in the series or the motion picture but they were rare. The character was pretty much “spot on” as the Brits would say. Outside of a couple of changes whether he would say something or not and or according to the powers that be what could be said and what couldn't be said in terms of verbal selections or something a little less violent. But they stuck pretty close to the original fabric of Optimus.

War for Cybertron is a completely new story and serves as the backstory for the Autobots and Decepticons. Do you read any of the comic books or have you in the past?

To be perfectly honest, I stopped reading comic books at a young age. Those were Superman, Black Hawk and GI Joe. That was a long time ago. I haven't read any of the comics. I've seen a lot of covers at BotCons and I've been curious by it and amazed by some of the illustrations.

What did you think of the story for War for Cybertron?

Generally speaking, I'm always impressed by the writers that have imagined and conceived these plots and adventures. They're brilliant people and overall they write really well, for me at least. They've come up with so many great one-liners that memorable and universal almost. As I said, generally speaking, I am amazed by the writers from the very get-go. There are so many sub factors and tangents with the Transformers that the imagination can take you almost anywhere you want to go in the future as they've done in the past. I'm always amazed and look forward to where we're going to go now. What's next!

Did you voice any other characters in the game?

Just Optimus Prime.

Is there any connection between War for Cybertron and Transformers: Prime?

I really don't think so. There may be but I'm not really privy to discuss the creative content at this point. We're in a very exciting stage in development with Hasbro and the Discovery Channel's HUB. The introduction of the series will be coming the fall.

Were you at all upset with Optimus Prime's moving lips in the movies?

Hahaha. Let me tell you how I felt while they were doing it. They had a camera, while I was reading my lines, concentrated on my mouth and nothing else. If you think that wouldn't make you feel uncomfortable then you've got a character of steel and concrete. After a while I would forget it was there but it was very unsettling at first. I wasn't really quite sure why they were doing it but I suspected it. It was a little unnerving, you know, when a camera is pointed at your mouth when you're trying to create something. When I saw the outcome, I didn't really notice it. It didn't draw to my attention as much as I was lead to believe it would be. It really didn't bother me. The only thing that bothers me and to be perfectly frank, I can't stand the movement of my lips. I think they look stupid. That's another reason why I felt odd when they were concentrating on my lips.

How do you bring emotion to an artificial robot?

To speak as a truck or as a robot, I apply just the character that's written. I give him all the qualities and traits that his character demonstrates. I don't think of where it's coming from, I think of it perhaps on a more spiritual human level. I don't worry about that, I'm just being a character. In my mind, I just realize that I am from outer space and that humans are from here, so there will be a difference in his sound or in his reactions.

In the game, you can make your own Transformer, had you not been involved with Optimus all these years, what would your Transformer change into and what powers would he have?

I may have answered this question years ago, but I'm allowed to change my mind if I want to. I love flying, so I'd want to be aerial. But I do love being a truck, so I'd like to remain an 18-wheeler. I love the sound, of course. I've always wanted to drive an 18-wheeler and I wouldn't mind one of those Peterbilts with all the flames and everything else. I think it's a cool machine. It's awesome."

Journal Sentinel Online, reports that the Milwaukee Filming of Transformers 3 will be delayed.

A crew of about 150 - including, presumably, director Michael Bay - will film dialogue scenes with several of the movie's principal actors Monday and Tuesday at the museum, which "I believe, is not a museum in the script," said Visit Milwaukee spokesman Dave Fantle.

However, the production's filming at the old Tower Automotive plant on the city's north side will be delayed until August.

In a voice message, Rocky Marcoux, commissioner of the Department of City Development, said the city was still in negotiations with the production company, and that filming at the Tower site wouldn't take place until after principal photography in Chicago is completed.

Marcoux said the Tower scenes would involve "a small amount of pyrotechnics," but "no damage would be done." Fantle said those scenes would be digitally enhanced for the completed film.

There is a chance for intermittent closures of Lincoln Memorial Drive during next week's filming at the museum, Fantle said.

Last month, "Transformers 3" held a casting call for paid extras to appear in the museum scenes. No extras will appear in the Tower scenes.

TFClub has posted an interesting new auction on Chinese auction site Taobao - for what appears to be a redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Recon Ironhide. This version of the toy is a blue version of the heavily armed Ironhide released at the beginning of the year as a part of the first assortment of NEST Global Alliance Voyagers, with mud splatter effects above the wheel arches for additional details. It is in effect a combination of Ironhide's Recon mold and his "Offroad Ironhide" deco from the first movie line - an interesting choice that really lends itself to the mold and in this editor's opinion looks really dynamic, although fans wanting a red Movie Ironhide look like they might be denied yet again.

Yesterday, Collider caught up with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to talk a bit about Transformers 3.

Collider: You mentioned Bay and you mentioned Transformers 3. So how are things going on that shoot?

Lorenzo di Bonaventura: It’s going really well. It was very complicated to imagine the movie without the Mikaela character and that was something that took all of us a lot of time and effort. But the truth is we’re very excited what happened as a result is…it’s not just with casting Rosie (Huntington-Whiteley), but with casting John Malkovich and we’re Frances McDormand and we’re casting Patrick Dempsey and Ken Wong and it goes on and on and on. And so the movie feels like which you always fear in making the 3rd movie is it’s not replicating what’s been done before. And the breath of the new cast is I think helping you avoid that pitfall.

Collider: I also wanted to know how’s the 3D going? Because for me, and a lot of people, we’re just very excited that the franchise is…that Bay is shooting with at least some of the scenes with 3D cameras, which just seems really cool.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura: He is shooting a lot with 3D cameras and he is, as usual, a master of camera and he learned it very quickly. And it is going to be very exciting for all. I’ve had an opportunity to see it and it just looks fantastic. And so you know Michael is really enjoying shooting it, too. So it’s hats off to him because it’s working fantastically.

Visit Collider for the entire Interview about Transformers 3, Red, the next Jack Ryan movie Moscow and The Associate (which Shia Labeouf’s attached to).

Be aware that these KOs are on the market if you are looking to add these molds to your collection, so you can be more informed about what a seller is actually offering you. The Japanese exclusive molds on these KOs are missing the copyright stamps that appear on the vintage versions, so make sure to look for that if you are after the originals!

This all-redeco assortment consists of two packs Darkstream with Razorbeam, Steelshot with Beacon and Windburn with Darkray, and five packs Crankcase with Destrons and Stakeout with Protectobots. These redecos change things up a bit, though, by swapping the Mini-con partners - for example Windburn, the Searchlight redeco, comes with a redecoed Caliburst from the first wave's Huffer, while the Destrons and the Protectobots each come with two of the previously released Aerialbots and Combaticons. These were previously shown off at Botcon 2010, however you can now check them out right here on TFW2005.

Also as an added bonus, we have sharper official images of the second assortment of Power Core Combiners. These official images show us a nice clear look at the two packs Leadfoot with Pinpoint, Sledge with Throttler and Icepick with Chainclaw along with the five pack sets of Double Clutch with Rallybots and Mudslinger with Destructicons.
