Transformers Fall of Cybertron Audio Logs
Walker for Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime is the awe-inspiring leader of the Autobot forces. Selfless and endlessly courageous, he is the complete opposite of his mortal enemy Megatron. Originally a very optimistic and rebellious miner known as Orion Pax, he was chosen by Primus and entrusted with the Matrix of Leadership to lead, the first in a number of heavy burdens he has been forced to bear. Another is the many years of war with the Quintessons and the Decepticons, which have left him weary. Every casualty weighs heavily on his spark. He often tries to not show this side to his soldiers and almost never succumbs to despair. But because of how much of a toll this conflict has left on him, his voice should reflect this as he goes through these audio logs.
Optimus is willing to sacrifice his life to protect his fellow Autobots or those under their care and does so on a regular basis. His compassion for other sentient beings is his only real weakness, and one the Decepticons have taken advantage of time and again... though it's also the source of his strength!
For this role, I am looking for a voice close to Peter Cullen's performance in Fall of Cybertron. You may also refer to his performance in Rise of the Beasts, or how he is portrayed in the Skybound comics. You are also welcome to add a touch of Chris Hemsworth's performance from Transformers One into the voice.

As the Great War and the Quintesson Wars spread like a storm of burning Energon across the surface of Cybertron, devouring in its path the great city of Iacon, even I was caught off guard by the depth of Megatron's depravity. I should have anticipated his utter lack of feeling for his fellow Cybertronians… but at the expense of the lives of many thousands of my fellow Autobots and almost all of the Jedi Knights, I did not.
Much like when the Allspark was launched to keep it out of Megatron's hands in Helex, some argued that I should have split the convoy of Energon on its journey to Autobot City. However wise, there is no time. The transport, though heavy and cumbersome, is our best hope. In the meantime, I wonder how the Decepticons will respond to their leader being pulverized. I sense the one called Starscream has been waiting for this opportunity to reassume command of the former High Guard.
After countless megacycles of war with both the Quintessons and the Decepticons, I have faced no harder decision, given no more difficult order than this. Effective immediately, all Autobot soldiers are to retreat their positions and gather at Iacon. A final general evacuation has been planned, and it is presently underway. I implore all of you to resist, as I have resisted, the temptation to fight until the end. The end is here and now. Cybertron itself is past the point of survival. The future of the Autobots, and any surviving Jedi, lies beyond these war-torn lands. And that future must begin now. I look forward to the honor of serving each of you again aboard the Ark. Until then, may the Primes watch over you.
