In some respects, I still am, it’s just that I think the Michael Bay movies are terrible so I gave up on that film series after the second movie. 1986’s Transformers: The Movie still remains the best TF movie yet, IMO. Even if they pretty much killed off the entire classic roster of Autobots and replaced them within the span of 90 minutes or so. For my further thoughts on that controversial movie, check out the review I posted at my other blog. Just like the movie, the soundtrack is a big dumb mess (in a good way). It’s a mix of melodic rock, hair metal, instrumentals and Weird Al. Stan Bush’s “The Touch” and “Dare” have always received high praise from AOR fans but I’ve struggled for years to understand how their connection with this movie was appropriate. #Transformers 1986 instruments of destruction movie Even as a kid when watching the movie, I didn’t really see what “The Touch” had to do with a battle scene. Weird Al Yankovic’s “Dare to Be Stupid” seems even less appropriate during a Autobot/Decepticon battle unless it’s meant to be some kind of commentary on how senseless violence is (I highly doubt this is the case though). On their own, these three songs are actually not bad. They just don’t seem appropriate for the scenes which they were used in during the film. Kicking things off with a harder edge than Stan Bush could is NRG’s “Instruments of Destruction”. The song plays in The Transformers: The Movie during one of the first scenes which sets the tone for the remainder of the movie the scene where the Decepticons brutally massacre the crew of an Autobot shuttle. #Transformers 1986 instruments of destruction movie 'Instruments of Destruction' is a heavy metal song by the band N.R.G., featured in the album The Transformers: The Movie - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. ![]()
