Turns out that Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime in the latest Transformers movie, was also the voice of Optimus Prime back in 1984. According to Cullen, he probably got the part in large part due to lobbying by fans.
I knew the movie was weirdly evocative, and now I know part of why.

Spielburg and Bay made the best casting decision of their careers in hiring Peter Cullen. Chills shoot through my spine and body when Optimus stated his first line.
Peter Cullen is to Optimus what James Earl Jones is to battle armor/respirator Darth Vader. They simply cannot be replaced.
