Do you tire of people using the 1980 theme for youtube videos ?

Not to mention all those AMVs on youtube that have Linkin Park... overused like bloody hell.

Goddamn angsty teenagers.

But I don't really have a problem with the 80s theme - what can you say, its just one of those things that sticks with Transformers, rehashed again and again for almost every TF series (except Beast Wars/Machines, of course).

I'd have to agree the original theme has aged poorly, but in all likelihood, it will still be the most redeeming part of most fanmade videos.

And the closing credits of Galaxy Force is probably my favorite TF-related music out there.

That's bad, but isn't the '86 Movie theme by Lion even worse? It seems like even more Youtube videos use that one. A lot.[/quote]

That's actually... sort of catchy.

I've always had sort of a soft spot for that Season 1 closing credit music. All instrumental, more low key, less obnoxious... dated as hell, but it does recall the old days when cartoons actually had real orchestral arrangements, which you don't see so much anymore. The canned sythesizer music used through most 90's cartoons was pretty awful. And don't get me started on Beast Wars. Blech.

I agree to disagree. Season 3 theme is great, followed by Season 2 theme. I do agree that Season 1 theme did sound like a jingle.

Big thanks goes to Nemesis Predaking for this awesome sig!!

Well it's not like the movies have an official theme to use.

Which is really stupid.

But I really dig the 80's theme, if it were updated a bit it would fit but I guess Bay dosnt care enough about theme songs.

I'd have to disagree. Unless you're talking about the 86 movie score.

I've seen the Animated Movie version used a lot more than the original theme. Nothing wrong with either of them, of course, but after a while they lose their impact.

All of yous peoples saying TF theme from the '86 movie sucks, GET OUT!! You're either flamebaiting on purpose or where born in the '90s so didn't enjoy the old pop/rock/metal MTV (in which case I undestand this and don't blame you, so you can stay).

Big thanks goes to Nemesis Predaking for this awesome sig!!

Personally, I think more people should use the TF:A theme music, but hey, that's just me.

I hate how everytime people use it, they use the worst quality possible, which means that it sounds like it's coming out of a cheap 80's TV an-
