    Ok, so a random thought. You know how I said TWRP's music has a similar vibe to the 86' movie and tf music in general? Well there is a song called 'Phantom Racer' about a spirit that inhabits a racecar, and I must know, do we have any vengeful ghost racer tfs?

    For me, it depends on the area, like if its the US, I think about the 86 movie and heavy metal if its the UK I think of the IDW comics and James Roberts music tastes. And finally if its Japan, Victory or Zone and have some Japanese city pop.

    When the song 'The Pretender' by Foo Fighters came out in 2007, I just assumed it was associated with the first Bay movie. Even the lyrics seemed themed around the Transformers concept:

    "What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?"

    Turns out it wasn't in the movie and had nothing to do with Transformers, but I always think of them when I hear that song.

    I would love to see Daft Punk's "Alive" in something Transformers-related. I'm obsessed with DP.

    The Autobots in general: In the meantime by Spacehog
    I imagine Kaon's theme would be (from his victim's point of view) Ride the lightning by Metallica.
    Dead Universe: In death is death by Meshuggah

    A few obvious and intentional ones:
    • Hot Rod - "Dare" by Stan Bush
    • Optimus Prime - "You got the Touch" by Stan Bush
    Some of the ones I thought of:
    • Soundwave - "We Want the Airwaves" by The Ramones
    • Thunderclash - "2700 Sea shanties" by CHEERIO KING
    • Jackpot - "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead
    • Shockwave (IDW) - "Mr. Roboto" by Styx
    • Blaster - "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive
    • Megatron - "Indestructible" by Disturbed
    • The Lost Light - "Lost Coastlines" by Okkervil River (I'm aware that this was Roberts pick as well)
    • The Lost Light (Alt) - "Twilight" by ELO
    • Tailgate (IDW) - "Echoes" by Pink Floyd
    • Drift (IDW) - "In God We Trust" by Stryper
    • Mindwipe - "Fear of the Dark" by Iron Maiden
