Transformers Movie has updated their site to include the winning lines from the Make Optimus Prime Speak competition of a few months back. These are now voiced by Peter Cullen, the actor who voiced the great character in the original Transformers cartoon and will voice the Autobot leader in the upcoming Michael Bay movie.

To listen to these lines, go to the main page of the site and click on the link underneath the planet cybertron.

In a related story,... Snarlaboo, a member of the Don Murphy Board (which are also known as Stooges), also received a thank you letter from Peter Cullen offering to thank the fans for their support. The following has been taken directly from the post on the DM board.

"Dear Dave,

I thank you for the Stooges shirt, all all who contributed. Yet there is more than just thank you, for I have deep appreciation and grateful feeling for all of you. To know that after all these many years, you care, leaves me quietly humbled.
There is more however. In your acceptance of Optimus Prime, all of you share with me a mutual respect for what we think a hero should be. That simple bond ties a multitude of meanings together. Of hope, respect, integrity, honor and courage. I am proud to be one of you.
Honorary Stooge. It sounds somewhat odd, but I understand the significance and lighthearted intention. I suppose Curly, Moe, Shemp or Larry is in all of us sometimes, and reminds us not to take life too seriously.

Please send alond my gratitude to Robert Scott, Billy Edwards, Nancy Smythe, Nadja Tegen, Miles Ritchings, Albert Lee, Drew Early, Perter Verdi, Mike Holdcroft, Brian Leichtnam, Kev Johnson, Ollie Hurd and Matt Noades.

There is quite a lot of activity here in Hollywood. Sightings of car chases in the valley, and dry river beds filled with Transformer activity. I can only imagine the emmense work that Michael Bay is accomplishing. He is a gifted and talented man, and judging from the way he treated me in our couple of meetings, I am poised with confidence and eager anticipation to work with him.
I recieve some feedback from some internet hounds, and learn of your enthusiasm and continued support. I share the same hopes for dear friends Frank Welker to join the team, and bring full circle the ultimate dream. "Hold onto your dreams, The future is built on dreams".
I sometimes dream of restoring an old Freightliner, and painting it up like Optimus Prime, to drive among the hills and dirt roads of my liitle town. Perhaps I will. You have all certainly inspired me to do such things.
Well Dave and friends, "Till all are one." I remain your indebted friend, and keep you all in my thoughts as we count down to what I believe will be more than meets the eye!

A proud honorary Stooge,
Peter Cullen"
