Don Murphy, Producer of the upcoming Transformers movie, has been contacted by someone claiming to be Gary Chalk. On his board, Murphy expresses that he believes it was actually the Optimus Prime Voice actor from Armada, Energon and Cybertron, who of course first started as Optimus Primal in Beast Wars.

Don Murphy wanted to know what the fans thought about this so he placed the E-mail for all to read. The following is a direct copy of the Mail, as posted on the Don Murphy Board.

"Dear Don,
I have been voicing Optimus prime for 12 years. I had heard that you will be doing a feature length film some time in the near future.
Will it be possible for me, a Canadian, to read for the part of Optimus? Just curious. I've been working my butt off doing the ADR for very little money and the prelay earlier in the 90's as well as the Botcon conventions. I did the ADR as a personal favor for my friends at voicebox productions and because I like doing the show. I met a lot of the fans of the show and found their passion for animation quite energizing for me. All I am asking is that you give me an opportunity to audition for the movie if it ever comes into being. Drop me a line.
I'd love to hear from you. Garry Chalk, (Optimus Prime)
Ah, what the hell. Yes I am a big fan of your movies. From Hell is my favorite.

Garry Chalk"
