  1. What about the movie theme song? by Average_Joe_Sixpack · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will Lion reunite one more time for this project? otherwise this film would be a waste of time.

      You're thinking of the wrong movie ... the Lions reunite for the Voltron movie, not the Transformers movie.

      Thanks, now I know who's going to try to sue me when I release my rendition of the song:

      Conformers
      Campaigns full of lies.
      Democrats wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of
      The Republicans.

    What about the slashdotters that are not american, you insensitve clod!?
    We'll probably enjoy much more watching it dubbed by the same guy who dubbed the animated series!

    something like:
    "Sayonara, Optimus Roboto-sam! "
    "Hasta luego, Señor Optimus Roboto!"
    "Auf wiedersehn, Herr Optimus Roboter"
