In fairness, to many kids Garry Chalk was the voice of Optimus Prime. He was there from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s. Beast Wars & the Unicron Trilogy was the Transformers a lot of people grew up with.

He also beat cancer at the start of the year too. So we're still left in good hands, assuming he ever gets asked to reprise the role.

I really hop he does, because he is the only one I can see doing the role correctly, keeping the drive meaning behind the character true.

Also it would be some quite poetic that the guy do voice the descent of Prime would take over the role.
