The other day, Optimus Primal voice actor Garry Chalk gave his first-ever Christmas address - getting into a tradition that Beast Wars Megatron actor David Kaye has upheld for many years now. Today, Kaye responds with his own How The Grinch Stole Christmas song adaptation! But where Chalk went with the classic from the 1966 animated special, Kaye went to the live-action film for "Where Are You, Optimus?" Keep reading to see! Imagine, all those years ago they probably could've just settled the Beast Wars with a singing contest.
Kaye and Chalk worked together as a Megatron and an Optimus for a run of five series: Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. Kaye would later get his own turn as Optimus Prime in Animated - which makes them even, since Chalk provided the voice of G1 Megatron during Beast Wars. Kaye also voiced several characters in both Transformers: Prime and Robots In Disguise.
