Well, it's no "You've Got The Touch" but the new theme for TRANSFORMERS is online. It was made available at the official-but-not-official TRANSFORMERS site SectorSeven.org so there's no more information (like who the hell performed it) but the mp3 is zipped and ready for your listening pleasure. Of course you'll likely get no pleasure out of it cause it kinda sucks. OK, it really sucks. It's got a decent guitar lick but then it's just grunting and a roll call of robot names and overall lameness. It's one of the few things about TRANSFORMES I'm not digging (to be filed with Optimus lips and flames). If you're interested in rocking out to a crunchy version of the old "Transformers" theme though, click here to download the file and add to your iPod.

Extra Tidbit: If you're more nostalgic, you can watch the "You Got The Touch" video here.

What was that?!
Sounds like something I made with Garageband while I was wasted. With so much money spent on this movie they could have come up with something better. The names of the Autobots???? Please! If they didn't want to be creative they could have at least used all the lyrics from the original theme. It would have been better than the names. Come on. Let's hope the entire soundtrack is much bette...

is that...?
Is that Linkin Park? It totally sounds like Chester et al shouting/rapping.
Man, I gotta say, I like it. It's dark and edgy and hard... it's definitely a credits song.

I love it! This movie so far is shaping up to cover my expectations, possibly exceed them and this is a sweet little cherry to add to the triple chocolate sundae that will be Transformers. However, did that put anyone else in mind of the Mortal Kombat theme?

this is way too cheesy compared to the rest of what we've seen
It reminds me of the mortal kombat theme. and we all know how great that was.....i get what they're trying to do, but revamping a cheesy saturday morning cartoon theme, but all it ends up being is some generic [link] crap.If this is truly music from the film, I hope plays only during the closing credits or something

thanks for that
Hey man, i appreciate the link. I can't wait to see this movie. Alot of us 80's babies are finally getting these movies that we've been dying to see since kids. I Can't wait for He-man, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, and yeah, even Speed Racer. Who knows? Maybe a Widget the World Watcher movie starring Dana Carvey. That was joke. No but seriously, Keanu Reeves as Captain Planet.

L-A-M-E OH Was it's Name...
Seriously... DUBYA TEE EFF? Did someone rip off Linkin Park and even suck at doing that? To answer myself... yes, yes they did. You can't have the names of the autobots just spoken in the song... there's not a reason for it. We know who they are, we know what this is, as a song, this is a -9 (yes that's negative) with a bullet! I thought Stan Bush was going to make some song for the new m...

I feel a little silly admitting it, but I actually really like the theme. It's a great combination of old school cheese and current sound, and they actually left a LOT more of the old flavor intact than I had hoped for. I'm looking forward to hearing this at the credits!

HAHA! That's so ridiculous! It really does sound just like an old Linkin Park song. Is the guy singing Derek from Sum 41? Awesome modern day nostalgic cheese. Nice pic too. I can't friggin wait for this!

OOOOh... I like it very much!!! Nice to hear the traditional theme, with a very much revamped sound! Yes, it looks like something from Linkin Park, but that's not a really bad thing, pretty much the opposite!!

Damn
I was kinda hoping they would use "Transformer" by Gnarls Barkley for the credits.

Anywho, the theme isn't too bad. I don't really like the rapping at the end (too Linkin Park), but the rest is cheesy cool.

Around the old TMNT movie theme callibre
It's music for the credit scroll... so, whatever... At least it has the "transformers! robots in disguise!" part. As I put it... it's right up there with "T-U-R-T-L-E POWER!"
