The Transformers franchise hasn't always had the same voice cast. Cullen is arguing for something more than just a lost paycheck - he's looking out for his fellow actors. But more than that, Cullen warns that Netflix hiring only cheap, non-union voice talent sets a dangerous precedent for the industry, which is heavily regulated by the Screen Actors Guild to ensure fair pay and working conditions.

Cullen, for his part, took Netflix's decision to use non-union actors personally, taking the opportunity in March 2020 to denounce it on a panel Q&A at Galax圜on Richmond 2020.
Franchise stalwarts like Peter Cullen and Frank Welker who are nowhere to be found, replaced by non-union voice talent. But fans might notice something a little off about the series: it features a slate of relatively unknown voice actors.
