This is Linkin Park's "Iridescent," the tender love ballad from Turn Off the Moon. Love can come in myriad forms, people, and love knows no bounds. A boy can love his girlfriend/blow-up sex doll. Michael Bay can masturbate furiously over extraneous footage of the military blowing shit up. Even a tentacled Deception spaceship and a skyscraper can make passionate love when the dulcet tones of Linkin Park are playing. My only worry is that Stan Bush will at some point hear this song, and spit out his Pabst Blue Ribbon in rage. "Really? This is what you picked over Stan 'The Touch' Bush? Michael Bay, where ever you are, I'm going to dare to keep all my hopes alive... all my hopes of KICKING YOUR FUCKING ASS." (Via Seibertron)

"My only worry is that Stan Bush will at some point hear this song, and spit out his Pabst Blue Ribbon in rage. "Really? This is what you picked over Stan 'The Touch' Bush?" HAHA! Hilarious!! It's alright, his song was used in Boogie Nights, wasn't it?
-
-at :52, that is not ratchet. he's green. looks like Skids -What is up with Bay's hard on for Linkin Park -Rosie Huntington-Whitley is just awful.
-
I cannot stand Linkin Park. That is all that I am going to say.
-
Nah, I disagree. Linkin Park is all about bitching and moaning about their millions of dollars and fans. Bayformers is all about "herpaderp bang boom support the troops fo' shizzle."
-
I think I just vomitted a little at that thought. But seriously, Stan Bush redid The Tough back for the first Bayformers movie... and it included rap... and it sucked, because Stan Bush cann't rap, and neither can Linkin Park. If you want a good cover you can either go Bon Jovi or Van Halen(Roth years, not Hagar) for a more traditional cover... or you can get Cibo Mato or Ween if you want a more... interesting cover.
-
It looks like the dude is holding a gun or something.... shame, I was kinda hoping he'd be headmaster or target master or something. The way Shia's holding on to him is just like some action movie love interest/floozy. Which would be awesome if that was the case. Maybe use that to explain the write off of Megan Fox's character. She catch's sam with some beefcake, maybe the marine (from the other two movies) kid in Bumble Bee's back seat. Don't get me wrong Megan's fun to look at but I would love to see something really refreshing in Darkside of the Moon and not just more military/explosion porn.
-
It is shit. Or rather, white boy rage/angst at it's finest, which is still shit.
-
I'd still like to hear Linkin Park do a cover of Stan Bush's The Touch.
-
Get the slag outa here!. YOU DON'T KNOW WHO STAN BUSH IS! YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO POST ON TOPLESS ROBOT. GO HOME AND LEAVE YOUR NERD CARD AT THE DOOR!

Did I just see The Beef Motorboat Chev Chellios' girlfriend?
-
I think my feelings for transformers film is finally going the way of anything star wars related. I just don't care anymore.
-
I look for the resemblance now. thanks.
-
I hope she dd it to herself, otherwise I will have to feel bad about laughing at how ridiculous she looks.
-
I was wondering what that was about too. maybe they are being pulled up by a line we can't quite see.
-
You don't got the touch, do you?
-
Who the hell is Stan Bush?
-
It's in the novel.
-
also, my friend and i were making fun of ROTF the other night. Jolt was supposed to be in it, and then was cut because he wasn't in any scenes. At the end of the film, Ratchet uses Jolt to shock Optimus to be able to fight. Explain that one, Micheal Bay.
-
that better not be ratchet!
-
I believe it swept the awards ceremony for "Most Overplayed Song on Any Given Radio Station".
-
what?
-
Let it go, guys. Just let it go.
-
Popular music of any decade has always been shit, just to varying degrees. The advent of autotune merely negated the basic requirement of actual musical talent in today's performers. I grew up with my parents blasting out 70's and 80's hits non stop on the cassette player, so age and taste in music is all relative. But yes, this song is utter tripe.
-
As a teenager in the mid-2000's, that fucking song was the anthem of an entire portion of my generation. My utter hatred for it still knows no mercy, and no respite.
-
Let's put it this way, he's in the video above.
-
no, you're not old- they really do suck that badly. it's horrible horrible shit...always was and always will be. got i hate angry teenage rock and it's sad that grown men write it.
-
Is this an actual song from Linkin Park that doesn't sound like every other Linkin Park song? Well, at least that's one thing that this movie has (maybe the only thing) that we have never seen/heard before!!!
-
Dear god, if this is true then I get to see another hulking mess of a robot based off of one of my favs as a kid named Wheeljack. I hope I will be able to tell him apart from the other robots, machines, weapons, rubble, parts from the plumbing section at Home Depot, loose screws you are left with after you build a treadmill! I hope, I hope!
-
If it had more drug/sexual references I'd say it was an Aldous Snow song, haha.
-
YES YES YES YES I
-
Transformers has always had toys of characters not in the show/fiction. ROTF's toyline even had characters that had been planned for and cut from the film (such as Breakaway and Springer). Skids having toys in the line means nothing in regards to whether he's in the film or not.
-
Stan Bush did get some love from Jimmy Fallon...they interviewed the girl last night and she came out to The Roots playing The Touch.
-
Yes but they do have a Skids toy in the Dark of the Moon packaging... and better yet they have a two pack with Skids and the African American soldier. Way to look racist Hasbro.
-
Oh, easily. You've got a wide-eyed, open-mouthed girl looking horrified at something offscreen surrounded by what looks like blood/oil spots all around her on the wall. I suppose next time I'll attempt to actually challenge you.
-
From this video, it seems clear to me that the love for which this is the theme is between LeBoeuf's character and Bumblebee. The girl is just someone they decided to help.
-
And how do you know this?
-
That's not Skids, that's Ratchet.
-
You can tell Skids from the others in this mess?
-
CONFUUUUSINNNNG WHAAAAT IS REEEEEEYALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
-
FEEEEEEAAAAAAR IS HOOOOOWWWWWWWWW I FAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
-
Linkin Park is adequate if you happen to be in a "I'm fairly pissed off right now so I'll drown my anger in really loud music without regard for any potential hearing loss" mood. But you're right. This really sucks.
-
--SPOILERS (since no one here's going to see this movie apparently)-- Sam uses a grappling hook glove (invented by Wheeljack) to shoot Starscream in the eye. Starscream freaks and flies off, taking Sam and Lennox with him. Sam eventually shoves a bomb into Starscream's mouth, which blows up and kills the Decepticon. They fall and Bumblebee arrives to catch them, which is what's happening in that one clip with 'Bee transforming, flipping, and whatnot.
-
THESE WOUNDS THEY WILLLLLLLLLLLLL NOT HEEEEEEEYALLLLLLLLLLLL
-
Ok, two problems with film for this (I could care less about the song, LP is well past their prime): 1) At the 0:29 mark, Starscream seems to take off with Sam and some other meatbag. The second one is clearly hanging on for the ride. While this might mean that we finally get to see Starscream attempt to stab Megatron in the back by helping the humans, at the lowest speeds Starcream would need to fly to get airborne without a wingspan that tiny as cord they are on would just CUT SAM'S FUCKING ARM OFF! 2) At the 0:39 mark, there is a (so far nameless) transformer that looks like a baby Megatron. Did they get the damn hatchlings from 2 (that were introduced as a plot point and then ignored) to work finally?
-
Don't worry Rob, Stan Bush will get some more love once War For Cybertron 2 comes out...
-
But, but, then she might get dirty...
-
Nononono, you forgot the best one. CRAAAAAAWLING INNNNNN MY SKIIIIIIINNNNNNN
-
I never liked Linkin Park (I admit, I'm a cantankerous "Nothing New Is Good" music snob) But until today I never wished specific harm upon the members of the band... Help me out here, guys--does this suck? Or am I just fucking old? Is this REALLY shit? Or do I just hear it that way?
-
i would just like to point out that 1.) you can see skids at one point in the trailer 2.) who the fuck is bumblebee standing over like "imma start crying now!" If they kill off another G1 loved character, so help me god i will personally skin micheal bay alive. however, he can kill the racist twins all he wants. 3.) I used to like Linkin Park. Then they teamed up with Micheal Bay.
-
I'm still wondering if she has a speaking part in the film... ...other than screaming, that is.
-
Is this the first footage we have of Megan Fox 2.0 with her mouth shut?
-
Ok, I watched the first film. Hated it, HATED it, and hated MB for his obvious "Eat a dick, fans!" philosophy when making it. I refused to see the second one. My parents (who had loved it) bought me multiple copies of the film, hoping I'd watch it. Never did. But I have to confess, I watched this trailer, and as much as I want to hate everything about the films, that scene at 0:59 in the vid where Bumblebee runs around a corner, runs up the wall, grabs those guys, does a backflip transforming into car mode...that was bad ass. Wow.
-
then anyone else read that has Incest? Damn you FF!
-
My feelings on the entire <b>Transformers</b> trilogy can be summed up by the still image chosen for that embedded video.
-
Okay for once I was not so much distracted by Rosie Hunntington-Whitley's Matt Smith like facial features and more distracted by the fact that for some reason everyone else is covered in dirt and blood and yet somehow her clothes and face and hair are perfectly clean and arranged while all the guys are filthy.
-
it's appropriate than an ear achingly fucktastically horrible band should be paired up with bayfuck and his tardformers. I'VE TRIED SO HARD!! AND GOT SO FAR!! BUT IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER!!!!!
-
The song is really kind of cheesy sounding, like "Christian Rock" or something. Also, did they shoot that poor girl's lips full of collagen or does she just naturally look like that?
-
it can be done :D
-
Agreed. I thought it worked well. And I like the song because it's not what I would expect at first glance. It's very different than TF1 and ROTF's songs.
-
Hey, Abraxas, could you write a fanfic describing the scene illustrated by that still?
-
I'm just going to say this right now: Going by my own estimates, at least 85% of all ballads suck. And sadly, 85% of THOSE ballads will end up inexplicably being the band's highest-charting single. Long story short, screw this clip, & bring back Stan Bush.
-
Now, I don't give this dumb movies the same amount of grief some of you do but... Linkin Park ballades suck. And yeah, I know you're about to say All of Linkin Park sucks always but... But at least dumb rap rock was something they could do sort of competently. Also, is Shia Lebouf and some guy flying like the rooftop scene in Superman the Movie, but angry? Seriously, it's at 30 seconds in.
-
I, for one, like the song and the way it fits with the video. ... What? Everything has to be about how terrible it is?
-
I dunno. I think the song fits the bleak situation going on about the characters, the whole idea of Earth being taken over by the Decepticons. I'd make another "this song totally fits if X" remark, except said remark would be full of spoilers.
-
well sure, it comes from a b film, a bay film that is.
-
I kinda like Linkin Park. It's a nice song. ... but WOW. Tonal dissonance much? It's the equivalent of a tender, passionate love scene being played with a Cradle of Filth song...
-
Is it just me or does the video's still look like it comes from a B-movie?
-
Yes. Yes you do.
-
Do I need to go on my rant about spambots again?
-
I would pay good money for a Stan Bust vs Michael Bay fight, I'm sure it would be like Bum Fights with random guitar sounds and explosions. And Linkin Park? This is what you do now, just the Transformers soundtrack? I mean you used to be so awesome....wait nevermind
-
god damn it WHY MUST I BE FOREVER TEASED WITH THE SAM BEE SCENES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN.....
