The Intergalactic Highway

Have you ever thought "Hrm, this song suits Optimus Primal" or something along those lines?

Well, I recently got to thinking about songs that suit BW characters. Here’s a fairly long listing based on what’s currently in my MP3 folder. Some of them fit quite well, others are included merely for comical effect.

You’ll also notice that a few songs appear under different characters names. I just felt that these songs didn’t necessarily fit under just a single character.

Feel free to add your own little “Character Compilations”. Try sticking to what’s in your MP3 list, and no, this is not everything under my MP3 folder

Some of the songs in this list are freely available over the internet. I’ll strive to obtain these links so you can hear some of the more obscure titles and judge for yourself whether they suit the character or not.

Also, my taste is music is rather eclectic, and at times downright odd.

Some theme musics (not songs)... you can't get them by clicking the link directly.. you've gotta copy the link and paste it into your address field:

Rattrap (after episode 'Changing of the Guard'... you who have seen BW know what I mean): www.vgmusic.com/music/con...anShip.mid

Tigerhawk: www.vgmusic.com/music/con...nRises.mid

Depthcharge (I know Depthie wouldn't appreciate this, but it fits his past.. that when he saw what had happened to Starbase Rugby and Colony Omicron): www.vgmusic.com/music/con...ohGMXG.mid

a song that suits silverbolt is the song in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VkAY2edHIHM& ... own%20cook

Might wanna warn people about the excessive use of profane language in that particular video...

but it 100% suits Silverbolt though.

Seeing as how I am not a member of Youtube, kindly post what the song is so I may find it elsewhere. I can't view the video since it has been flagged due to profanity and I have to create an account proving I am 18, which I am too busy/lazy to do at the moment.

While I'm thinking of it though...


Dinobot - Just Like You - Three Days Grace

Dinotbot II (in relation to Rampage) - Only - Nine Inch Nails

Cheetor - The Hand that Feeds - Nine Inch Nails
Animals - Nickelback
Dragula - Rob Zombie

Inferno - Bawitaba - Kid Rock

Rampage - Freak on a Leash (Rammstein Remix) - Korn (I was considering putting this with Inferno).
Bombshell - Powerman5000

Silverbolt - TNT - ACDC


Overall Theme - When Worlds Collide - Powerman5000
Warriors of the World Unite - Manowar

I'll post some more later, this was just a quick list from looking at my current playlist. Some of the lyrics don't quite fit, but the tempo and energy of the music does (at least in my humble opinion.)

Trivia question, who would fit Slither by Velvet Revolver? I'm listening to it at the present moment and I'm thinking "Beast Wars", but I don't know who. I can upload it to my Putfile account if anybody wants to listen to it.

here are a few lyrics that made me cry listenin to em,they really do remind you of dinobots noble sacrifice.

lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
lights falling,you've come to journeys end.

sleep now,
dream of the ones who came before.
they are calling,
from across the distant shore.

Rampage:
"Pet" by A Perfect Circle or "10,000 Days" by Tool

Depth Charge:
"Corrected" by Sevendust or "Black" by Sevendust or "Crucified" by Sevendust

Inferno:
"Feuer frei!" by Rammstein or "Judith" by A Perfect Circle


Those are my picks, if you read the lyrics, and listen to the music, you might agree with me.
