Make Prime Speak Winners

TFormers.com has posted the info on the Make Prime Speak Contest:

TRANSFORMERS’ MAKE PRIME SPEAK CONTEST has announced the Top-10 winners to the contest, where fans and the online community could submit their chances to have Peter Cullen – the voice of Optimus Prime – speak their line of dialogue in the TRANSFORMERS movie, in theatres 7.4.7.

Carl, from Norristown, PA, will see his number-one winning entry – “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings” – featured in the upcoming TRANSFORMERS movie.

The number one line – as determined by filmmakers from a Top-30 list that contest registrants voted on – will be spoken by Cullen in the film.

Second and third place winners will have their entries recorded by Peter Cullen and made into ringtones.

And winners 4 through 10 will also have their entries recorded by Cullen, and featured on the official site, www.TransformersMovie.com.

A special thanks for all those that submitted entries and voted. The Top-10 Winning entries, in order, are listed below:

1) "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." – Carl, Norristown, PA

2) "That's how I roll." - David, Phoenix, AZ

3) "Autobots: transform and roll out" - Brandon, Jacksonville, FL

4)"This world should learn from its own mistakes, not ours."
-- Ben, San Francisco, CA

5) “One shall stand... one shall fall.” -- Paul, Elgin, IL

6) “It¹s Prime Time!” -- ¬ Jason, Murrieta, CA

7) “Alpha Trion said there’d be days like this.” ¬ -- Jason, Methuen, MA

8) “Now all we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck.” -- ¬ Kenny, Boston, MA

9) “You¹re on the wrong side of the blaster to champion that, Decepticon.” -- ¬ Afonso, Lisbon, NY

10) “There’s a thin line between being a hero and being a memory.” – Aaron, Austin, TX
Not exactly a win for creative thinking with 4 out of 10 being lines from either the toyline (#1), used in cartoons (#3) or from the animated movie (#5 and #8). About the only line that stands out in my opinion is #4. The rest are just a little to corny for me.

  1. I don't even understand what line 4 is supposed to mean. Why shouldn't the world learn from the mistakes of others also?

    The judges had originality in the criteria. Too bad they picked a really crappy 100 for the fans to vote on.

    Anyway, what's done is done. Line 2 would've just made me laugh...

    Jazz: "Hey Prime! What's with the flames?"
    Optimus: "That's how I roll."

  2. lines that were used in the cartoon or comic book or lines that everyone knew Prime would probably say anyway shouldn't have been allowed.

  3. #10 was also from the cartoon. I think Prime said it in the first 3-part episode.

  4. They should have Optimus say "That's just prime."
