Paramount Pictures is hosting a contest on its official web site for Transformers where you can provide a line of dialogue for Transformer leader Optimus Prime.

If your line of dialogue is one of the 10 chosen, voice actor Peter Cullen will record it. If it's good enough to be the grand prize winner, the line will actually appear in the movie.

Incidentally, Cullen was also the man behind Optimus Prime in the children's animated series and movie from the '80s. The Canadian actor also voiced the Ironhide and Slugslinger characters for the TV show.

Deadline for contest entries is Oct. 12. The public can vote for their favorite entries starting Oct. 16.

Director Michael Bay's Transformers movie will be in theaters July 4, 2007.
