Welcome to Toy Polloi Two. The Transformers Generation one TV theme has always sounded wrong. There is one part where the music just jumps and it has never felt right to my ear. So I thought I would see if it could be fixed.

That's a lot smoother. Now you've filled that extra note in, can you fill the potholes in my county, please?

There's something about the jank in the first one that I love, but that's purely nostalgia. Your one-note fix definitely helps!

I suspect that a rather brutal tape edit was an at the time "that'll do" fix to get the title sequence music to the right timing length for the animation without truncating the final fanfare, which would have been even more noticeable, literally ending on a Bum note.

Give us a time-stamp on both of them because no one is catching it.

This is right up my street. I love that you took a bit of 80s audio and treated it in much the same way you fix the vintage toys.

This makes me very Happy! Not only for your edit, but also finding TP has interest and ability in editing music, and beyond that enjoys the same channels I do! Nice, & Nice! :)

As a lifelong fan, I liked the "mistake" version.

I grew up watching and loving the original Transformers cartoon and love the original theme tune I don’t feel this is an issue need fixing!!!

The first one doesn't sound wrong to me, it's just a rhythmic decision by the original creator. Having said that, your version is easier to listen to. But I don't mind the OG one at all.

Never realized there was an issue with the intro before 😂

I always expected they removed a larger piece of music. If I had to guess, its because the theme was originally intended to be longer, and at a later point in production they decided it was too long and wanted a shorter title sequence. Then either they did not want to spend the budget to let it be remade, or they just didn't have the time. But your version does sound a lot nicer, maybe that was enough to put it back to its original form. It would be nice if someone could eventually clarify what actually happened.

Am I the only one that couldnt tell the difference in the new one?

Ive always liked that weird note but it may be nostalgia talking.

Restoring music now? Neat! I’m curious to see if there’s others you can give this treatment. Maybe restoring censored show scenes? Definitely getting the impression the theme was crudely edited shorter to fit the TV runtime at the time. Although not gonna lie, it was a bit tricky for my amateur ears to notice the difference at first. Probably because I’m no music expert.

And for anyone who needs a demonstration of my other comment, when listening to the original version, simply tap your foot twice as fast as you normally would, and you should see everything fits fine and was in time all along.

10X better, Dave! SO much better!!

Right, I applaud this attempt to do something cool, and different, but speaking as a musician, multi-instrumentalist, and a fan of the cartoon, and having spent years studying polyrhythms, I can tell ye that there was nothing wrong with it at all, was just a bar of 3 instead of 4, in perfect time. Having said that though, I do recall something being wrong with it for years, was the ending credits music a different edit? Was that maybe where the timing could have been off and is that possibly where you might be getting mixed up? I haven’t been and checked, but I do vaguely remember there being a rough edit like you mention someplace in the opening or ending, but that bit there wasn’t it, but still a fun and interesting video!

I'm gonna have to listen to this a few times. There does seem to be something about the edited version that's more pleasing to the ear. I just can't put my finger on it. The horns seem to sound better. Not sure if that's the part you edited or not.

Either way I like it. Definitely one of my favorite theme songs from my childhood.
