[@RustyMcSteel]

One shall stand, one shall fall... From exhaustion from rocking out!

[@smcwainjr]

Yes!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@lelouchlamperouge4273]

Yes 🤟🤟🤟!!!!

[@SamuraiSarcasm]

AUTOBOTS ROCK OUT! *kickass giant robot electric guitar solo*

[@WolfMadnessMazuko117]

Blaster´s guitar solo VS Soundwave´s guitar solo

[@Consolous]

This is legendary in every way. Reminds me of the Lion version but instrumental and heavier

[@subtlewhatssubtle]

Put this song on in the background while you play the last mission in Fall of Cybertron. Transform and rock out.

That highly amused kid in front of the tv was me in the 80s watching the Transformers.

[@burhead0]

truely one of the best bands to remake all these classics.

[@mattwo7]

@227060 Let's bring up the good ol tfwiki! In the begining (1984) there were two toylines made by takara, Diaclone and Microchange. The Transformers (retroactively called Generation 1 or G1) started as a joint venture between two companies: Hasbro of America and Takara of Japan. One day takara decided to re-brand them, as a whole new line with a new concept behind it, Hasbro unknowingly would wind up creating what would be one of its longest-running franchises.

[@guyveromega27]

@227060 Exactly. Why the hell were so many decepticons brought back from the grave in the second movie and the autobots couldn't bring back Jazz? And they had more resources to do it with: allspark shards and matrix. The robot designs went downhill too, unicycles, pogosticks, and other various walking junkpiles. And why are they calling Tracks, Sideswipe?

[@misao44love]

I'm so glad I have a mind of my own and can listen to music from every genre. :)

[@mattwo7]

@227060 As for contiuity? HOOO BOY. G1's cartoon was split after the third season between Japan and America. America got five episodes after that. Japan got a new season and a few spin off indirect follow ups including an OVA. While the toys in the later never got cartoon appearance in america, they did show up in the...comics... And this is where it gets interesting. Not only did the comics do their own thing initially but they re-wrote some of the characters from Japan's G1 and stuff too.

[@Larynx_the_Changeling]

Yeah! My boi, Star Saber, got slandered as hell and got rewritten as a religious zealot that killed a bunch of bots he deemed "heretics" and "non-believers"!

[@fafafooey8776]

I remember seeing these guys perform in random apartment off of Allston St. in Allston MA on a Saturday night back in 06 or 07? Same intensity, costumes and all, blew my mind.

[@MrBlackjack998]

The memories just come flooding back.

[@malivaxx]

its a sequel(but also an offshoot seeing as the first was set in both the G1 and prime continuities) to WFC.

[@user19952009]

prime is its own thing, the original War for cybertron was a reimaging of before G1 (because of some continuaty issues.) fall of cybertron is an offical seqaul to WFC.

[@ReviewerKid90]

This is the 1986 Transformers movie theme. Awesome :D

[@ibanezjimjim666]

Metal is the right of all sentient beings!

[@madarauchiha71791]

1:15 is one of my most epic things I've ever heard.

[@MrTheZerstorer]

3:35 best moment ever

[@Gruporantifuso]

Greeeeaaaatttttt!!!!!!!!!

[@eileenhavlicek6111]

I swear the art work for the album cover looks like it was done by Tim Jacobus the guy who did the art work for the Goosebumps books.

[@urynsyn]

Sooooo Awesome!!!

[@Megaytron]

God I love this album! Powerglove reads our minds, and turns all the awesome nostalgic stuff into EVEN MORE AWESOME nostalgic stuff! 8D

[@fleshmaniac464]

TIL ALL ARE ONE

[@ShinoShaSha]

the beginning gives me goosebumps every time

[@J.TiberiusKirk]

I am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons...You will do EXACTLY as I say!!

[@SullivanBurke777]

Ah, takes me back to the mid-eighties and my misspent youth...religiously watching Transformers and He-Man every day after school... :D

[@eyetunes7754]

Constructicons merge to become Devastator!

[@Atirrec]

Love the metronome at the end lol

[@diabeticon87]

This is pretty freaking rad!

[@dragganforce]

Love the glove

[@Larynx_the_Changeling]

Petition to make that the rallying cry of Powerglove fans!

[@mattwo7]

@227060 That same year, writing and distribution for the cartoon was handled as a joint effort by Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions. Animation was produced overseas, by Toei, AKOM, Tokyo Movie Shinsha (supposedly) and an unknown studio from the Philippines. As for the comics? Also 1984.

[@shinobiplays907]

holy frag it's so good

[@thatmetaldude13]

haha! Powerglove. So cheesy its awesome.

[@MaxtronusPrime_]

TILL ALL ARE ONE

[@guyveromega27]

@227060 My thoughts exactly. They had no problem killing off Jazz, Bonecrusher, Brawl, Blackout, Arcee, Devastator, etc yet they had tons more nameless faceless drones to kill off. Additionally if they had so many faceless figures to kill off then why did they need to clone the constructicons. One set to fight the autobots in the desert while the other forms devastator?

[@jex1689]

O.O BADASS MUSIC!!!

[@starlimitz2]

that cover's transition is a real psyche out...

[@edusentenced]

sin palabras... es la ostia!!

[@oliviawilliams6204]

Decepticon, Transform and fly up!

[@perpetual61]

Powerglove is a American Power Metal Band from Boston. Yea I just Found another Amazingly Unknown Band to add to My Favorites.

[@mattwo7]

@227060 Actually Convoy is called Optimus in america. Also the headmasters targetmasters godmasters(or rather powermasters featuring powermaster optimus instead of ginrai) and pretenders were all in the comics.

[@69eyes2191]

How can anyone dislike this? This is Perfection!!

[@H057IL3]

Near the end reminds me of Dragonforce, awesome stuff.

[@NuclearGroundhog]

Well that was just Freaking Quality!

[@SolKyoshiro]

@dimbobscout Thats because this is a mix of the Transformers theme form the 1980's movie and not the Season 1 of the TV series.

[@cr0uchingtiger]

Could it be? Yep - the best thing my ears have ever heard.

[@TheKornstalker]

In five and a half minutes, Powerglove managed to make better Transformers than Michael Bay did in three movies. And Powerglove didn't even use visuals!

[@227060]

@mattwo7 i do mean G1. yeah but Japan's transformers are like, i dunno an alternate dimension or something where the headmaster storyline clontinued and Optimus was called Convoy or something. Its weird

[@burningreach]

I am a proud Decepticon and I approve this song.

[@ChazoreAllure]

"Cybertron will remain as you left it, my liege..."

[@LegendaryBricktures]

All Hail Starscream!

[@VulpisFoxfire]

LegendaryBricktures Cue the Screamer-clone dance line!

[@noobpaints6114]

Coronation Starscream? This is bad comedy.

[@viowave]

Megatron, is that you?

[@noobpaints6114]

Here's a hint! *PEW*

[@GAMEPRODELTA]

*Starscream then gets disintegrated, leaving only his crown behind, which Galvatron then crushes under his foot* Galvatron: Will anyone else try to fill his shoes? Rumble/Frenzy: What'd he say his name was? *Galvatron identifies himself to the decepticons* All decepticons: Long live Galvatron! Galvatron!

[@deathrocker616]

@Gmanjoshua No there's a Shockwave but that's more of a title in the series than a specific Decepticon.

[@ILLRICARDO]

soundwave superior, autobots inferior.

[@AximandTheCursed]

The Decepticons will never follow an uncharismatic boor like you!

[@masterbison8957]

Hey ! Nobody calls soundwave uncrosamatic !

[@pinkamenadianepie8609]

Holy shit this is amazing

[@mattwo7]

@227060 Course if you want to talk continuity mishaps I got six words: "Unicron Trilogy" "Vector Prime" and "The Thirteen" The later two were supposed to help fix the continuity errors in cybertron after the writers decided to screw hasbro over when they released it in japan (as Galaxy Force). They only turned it into a multiverse equivalent of a timy whimy wibbly wobbly ball (see tvtropes if you don't understand my use of that phrase in the context).

[@texican512]

@fnglert listened to only rap as a teen. grew over it, moved on to real music threw all my rap stuff away, didn't even bother selling em or give em away and not ashamed at all.

[@malivaxx]

@searingburrito it was announced on the heels of the previous game, they just recently made it public.

[@facepalmmedia]

@musicmydrug10 this isn't a video, it's just a promotional piece for the upcoming album.

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

You got the touch, you've got the power metal!

[@AcadianBacon8]

HOLY SWEET VIKING GODS OF METAL! D: I like them. :3

[@mattwo7]

@227060 Actually it sounds like they remixed the movie version. Not too surprising as it was the only one long enough...

[@mattwo7]

@227060 No, I'm just well aware of some of the more popular terms. I have seen like two episodes of one of the more recent Dr. Who seasons tho, the pilot that had some manikins that came to life and then the Doctor killed this motlen plastic thing, and the next episode where they go to the end of the world and there's this "Last Human" character that was just a face. ...but is that really what they call the fanbase?

[@fnglert]

@xMoNzTa Good music is like candy. You enjoy the good stuff and throw away the rappers.

[@mattwo7]

@227060 See funny thing about power rangers, IT'S NOT A CARTOON. Another thing is that Super Sentai is like about 16 years older than power rangers. Transformers' G1 cartoon was made similarly to Megaman's from what I can tell. Was made in Japan AND America, used western animation style, and aired in both nations on the same year.

[@227060]

@mattwo7 well i kinda sorta count the movie as part of the series if you see what i mean, i mean it advanced the story. but u are right. im just pissed that Bay's films despite having covers and remixes released in albums DIDNT have the actual song in the movie

[@227060]

@guyveromega27 might check those out. for me much of the transformers movies basically playout as Bay having transformers toys when he was a kid and basically turning the crap he made up for them into a movie. of course he didn't necesaeeily write the stuff but it has so many of his hallmarks. i dunno who thought he'd be the perfect choice to direct. i mean i've liked literally ONE of his movies and aspects of the others NONE of which were bcos of Bay himself....

[@vern7424]

No. Armada is part of the Unicron Trilogy which includes Armada, Energon, and Cyberton. That trilogy is completely separate from the more recent universes like the Live Action, Animated (Which has both Bumblebee and Hot Shot in it), and the current Prime/War/Fall of Cybertron universe as well as previous universes such as Generation 1, the Beast Era, and the Robots in Disguise universe. Interestingly, the original name for Hot Shot WAS to be Bumblebee in Armada.

[@LayRoyalty]

@fnglert i totally agree but what do you consider a rapper is?

[@227060]

@227060 ....i mean I like Bumblebee but seriously why is HE the Transofrmer with the most screen time. again while the show showcased lots of characters It was to me always about basically Optimus and Megatron and thier rivalry. plus there were these 'omfg i can't believe that happened' moments like the Transformer testicles, the death of the ONLY black transformer (Jazz) and...pretty musch anything with Skids and Mudflap. there will b more movies tho

[@227060]

@mattwo7 no, but, im not sure how to react to that. it was info i didn't know so, er, yeah thanks for increasing my TF trivia knowledge

[@rippinandtearing]

Megatron:soundwave activate album PowerGlove Soundwave:Yes Megatron

[@NameName2.0]

anyone else notice the plant in the background... Audrey2?

[@johndoe-nm7hk]

Froztarlozt lmao I did. little shop of horrors

[@senjugiku]

@ESPA333 He also switched sides in the middle of one of the older animated TV shows.

[@rangerwill]

@madarauchiha71791 For real. That intro is sick. If I had to do a video of this based off the song alone it would go like this. Two kids get caught in a thunder storm. They are trying to find shelter and they run into what they think is a cave. They see this faded metal object on the wall. They brush the dust off of it and the eyes light up. And they find themselves in long forgotten Autobot base.

[@Moonbeam143]

I'm hyped for the new Bumblebee movie coming out.

[@DrMinion333]

@Whitereaper666 Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?! Mustaine was in Metallica first. He then crafted Megadeth's sound after the stuff he wrote that ended up on Kill'em All.

[@227060]

@mattwo7 soooo...is it like Power rangers then? Power rangers uses footage from a japanese tv show called Super Sentai inorder to sell toys based on the show made by Bandai. despite selling the same toys and using alot of the same footage Power rangers and super sentai do not exist withint he same fictional universe and usually have completly different storylines as well as names for characters, places, weapons, vehicles (the general toy they are selling) etc

[@TheSilvaPedro]

You are right they are not the same.

[@227060]

@227060 ....i mean ppl rag on the 80s movie, but frankly if you are a Transformers fan, there are still weaknesses to it but its actually dramatic stuff. killing off Optimus was not only a big deal but not 1 to critique now bcos he comes back later anyway

[@deathmauler181]

@xMoNzTa Once upon a time Rap was not total trash, but never did it /will it ever come close to being as amazing as memorable as awesome as metal.

[@GrandHatchet]

AUTOBOTS! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT

[@ForestOfSleep]

@misao44love me too. i listen to a lot of things.

[@Doomsdayman]

wow that kid reminds me of the time when the great series cam out like transformers,x-man,batman,swat cats and more

[@227060]

@mattwo7 Wait so who came first Convoy or Optimus? cos i heard japan made the toys then MArvel comics made the transformers comic and then the tv show was vaguly based off that. having said that im pretty sure the comics were not canon with the tv series at the time

[@GAMEPRODELTA]

The Diaclone and Microchange toylines came first; Hasbro worked out a deal with Takara back in 1983 to distribute them as The Transformers the following, then the comics and cartoons followed. The reason Optimus Prime is called Convoy in Japan is because of his alt mode, and that his original Diaclone counterpart is called Battle Convoy.

[@SgtR3ynolds]

Nostalgic

[@GrimGoblinLives]

@narukofan2 With the emphasis on rock out part.

[@DrakeRunner]

@WhyteLis21 "but thats the closest we'll possibly see optimus and megatron on the silver screen" Transformers: The Movie, 1986.

[@227060]

@mattwo7 What "timy whimy wibbly wobbly ball "? or 'Whovians'? (its the latter btw)

[@MYSEGAISBROKEN]

I am curious in transformers armada is hotshot now who is now known as bumblebee in the newer transformers?

[@TheKobbin]

@Ninjastyle124 No, I believe Prime follows the same premise they all did, and that's being incredibly referential to every other series before that. Animated did the same thing. I actually really liked Animated, they made a lot of great references. I'd say it's up there with the best of them. I don't watch Prime, but it looked alright, I suppose.My opinion is only three Tranformers series really made the top: G1, Beast Wars, and Animated. Remember: Lots of people hated Beast Wars when it aired.

[@guyveromega27]

@227060 It could be argued that its been done already In Transformers: War for Cybertron so they won't make a movie of it.

[@227060]

@mattwo7 Yea...i know its not a cartoon...and that SS is older...i...im not sure that makes my point in valid tho

[@Asgar16926]

@96steelman well... fuck i guess i dont have a clue. I havent changed my mind though, epic song for film OR game!

[@subtlewhatssubtle]

Hmm...maybe you're right. Just around five and a half minutes long, and while that last fight's music is suitably dramatic, a duel between the legends deserves epic music to match.

[@mega6836]

STAAAARRRRSCREEEAAAAAMMMMM!!!!

[@cyborghobo]

@eternalelk not in the movie but in the soundtrack

[@Fhonax]

We can't hold out forever Kup, but we can give them one humongous repair bill!

[@vortexfff]

epic!!!!!!!

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

@1UpedAngel That would mean that metal would have to be dead, they can have those kids for free

[@ChaoticPesme75]

Love this ! But Lion's cover is still first in my heart ^^
