The Touch is better known, was better used, and is associated to a better character.

Okay, good point.
However, it was also the music played for the rise of Rodimus Prime. So HA!

The one thing I have an issue with is the title of "Geek Anthem". That seems to me to be a rather narrow-minded labeling by yet another portion of our society that insists on clinging to it's comfortable little blanket of ignorance, derision and bull-headedness.

Nope! The music was playing because Optimus was talking!

No. No there wasn't.

God Of Transformers is obviously not the God of Music as yes, in fact, Stan Bush released a remade "The Touch-Sam's Theme" on 6-15-09.
Also, on the '07 Stan Bush release, "In This Life", he throws TF fans a track by the name of "Till All Are One".
Owning these songs are a given to any true TF music fan. And yes, Itunes has had them since they were released- go get them already!

Hi there noobie,
Couple things you ought to know to make your time here on Seibertron easier. No one here is named "God of Transformers." That's actually a poster rank for when you've made waaaaaaay too many posts on the message board. The person you're trying to be clever in referring too would be 1337W422102, which is l33t for "l33t warrior." It's an internet thing.
Also, he was being sarcastic. Of course he knew about Stan Bush's remake but he was trying to do UltraPrimal a favor because said remake sucked and we suspect the guitarist in the music video is a serial killer or a pedophile.

wow.
Oh yes, by the way, anyone with a functional brain knows what his id is..... if he really wanted to be elite he would have written it in binary. That's elite.

Thanks, Zeke. You're right as usual.

I like the way you think, kid!
Rodimus Prime wrote:That's great to see. Though I think there were better tracks on the 86 movie soundtrack, (the Theme, Dare, and Nothing's Gonna Stand in Our Way) The Touch is the most popular because it is associated with Optimus Prime's badass turn.
Damn straight! Taking out Thrust, transforming, slagging 'Cons while in the air, and then beating the oil out of Megatron? Straight-up respectable badass without being excessive "lolgivemeurfaec"-type crap. I found Prime's The Touch scene so intense that I made an Unreal Tournament-style spoof of it with the UT announcer a few years back. Too bad the video quality is so bad...

I think the Touch is great, but the underlying evil tones in the Unicron theme....that's awesome
i'm in the minority, so sue me

Unrelated, but you should look into the sig rules. (And I don't think Matt appreciates you stealing his bandwidth.)
