I might be remembering wrong, but I think the "Mighty Orbots intro" was shown at Comic Con. It was the same music as what we saw in this Youtube link, but had an (uncut?) shot of the Autobots in a long, winding hallway. Sari is flying through the hallway on some kind of transforming jetpack/tricycle, and each Autobot transforms as she passes them.
You recall correctly. They showed this clip. Then they showed a bit from the pilot ("I've never seen a Decepticon ship up close!" "Noone has - and lived!"), then they showed a montage of clips set to music, then the "YESYESYES! Brilliant strategy!" scene, then they did a reprise of the theme with the hallway scene mixed in.
I like it. It's just as well it's not in the show. That'd mean 30 seconds less per episode and Animated is rapidly climbing the list as one of my favorite TF series.
I have the Battle Begins DVD and when I heard this I was ROCKING OUT! I watch the DVD just for the Theme Song
Hoorah! I've been waiting for a good quality version of the full theme for a while now, so thanks much, dudes! I've thought since the beginning that this is a damn fine version of the classic theme, possibly my favourite one; it has just the right mix of retro and contemporary sound. Then again, Andy Sturmer does know what he's doing with theme tunes of this sort, having also done the incredibly catchy Teen Titans theme and the very fun second theme for The Batman. A minor shame that this version doesn't have all of the vocal processing and siren effects that make the show version that bit meatier, but hey, not complaining.
I may not like Animated, but DAMN is the music awesome. *Gets to work on putting this song into a G1 intro*
I've thought the Transformers Animated theme song was the best since the original, with the Transformers Armada theme right behind it.
Actually the same as the earlier December, 2007 DVD screener I have up for sale. The DVD menu has the same audio intro. http://www.ioffer.com/i/TRANSFORMERS-ANIMATED-PROMO-DVD-PRESS-KIT-SCREENER--43940261
