Exclusive Podcast #139 | with GRIMLOCK (Tamil Records)

Time to dust off one of our favourite debates on this podcast network: Is it worse to be Boring or Bad?

Michael Bay submits his evidence to the latest hearing, Age of Extinction, which literally has another movie tacked onto the back of it. Hard to believe a movie could be Bad OR Boring when it features Dinobots, Bounty Hunters and Stanley Tucci, but here we are!

More (and Less) Than Meets The Eye

More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye - Episode 7: Transformers: Age of Extinction

"We can't hold out forever, Kup… but we can give them one humongous repair bill!"

In this episode, the lads dive, nay glide into the most metal soundtrack of all time—literally. 

The Transformers: The Movie (1986) OST is crammed full of epic rock ballads, synth-fueled anthems, and the undeniable power of ‘Friend of the Show’ Stan Bush - to turn even the clunkiest robot battle into an emotional rollercoaster. 

There’s that theme, the genius of "The Touch," the unhinged energy of "Dare," and questions like, didn’t Unicron (although he is just a giant floating metallic sphincter) deserve a better theme song? Do you remember the Fizzy Pop man? And why does Weird Al Yankovic randomly show up in a movie about intergalactic war? 

So, pop open a bottle of Tizer, and join Dave and Tom as they crank up the volume, and roll out!

S2 E4 • The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

[Verse 1]
Clank of the titan, earth splits in two—
A shadow with teeth where the meek crash through.
No chrome-wheeled slave, just a beast unchained,
One king’s decree: Let the weak be maimed.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lock your gears, bite your tongue,
Pray the horde hasn’t begun.
Claws like gods, heart like lead—
Sleep wrong, you’ll wake up dead.

[Chorus]
Crown of the scrapheap, jaws of the storm,
Burn every bridge till the ashes reform.
Follow the tyrant, or drown in the swarm—
One truth he’s got: You’ll respect him… or mourn.

[Verse 2]
Allies? He’ll scoff, “Just chains in disguise!”
But let traitors rise—watch their circuits fry.
A blade dipped in stars, a laugh forged in spite,
He’ll gut a galaxy… just ’cause he might.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lock your gears, bite your tongue,
Feel the ground scream where he’s hung.
Eyes like voids, fists like graves—
Cross him once, dig your cave.

[Chorus]
Crown of the scrapheap, jaws of the storm,
Crush every idol till the heavens deform.
Bow to the brute, or get caught in the swarm—
One law he’s got: Kill the sun till it’s torn.

[Bridge]
Flash of a genius— circuits rewrite,
Solved equations that made angels take flight.
But brains are a cage, and rage tastes so right…
So he smashed his IQ to reignite the fight.

[Outro]
No graves for legends—just rust in his wake,
The weak plead for mercy; he grins, “Mistake.”
The throne’s built on adversary breaks…
King of the ash, and the ground always shakes.

[Final Chorus]
Crown of the scrapheap, jaws of the storm,
Shatter the cosmos till it’s fractured and worn.
Serve the damned tyrant, or get ripped from form—
One truth he’s got: You’ll respect him… or mourn.

[Chorus]
Crown of the scrapheap, jaws of the storm,
(jaws of the storm,)
Crush every idol till the heavens deform.
(till the heavens deform.)
Bow to the brute, or get caught in the swarm—
(caught in the swarm—)
One law he’s got: Kill the sun till it’s torn.
(till it’s torn.)

Rage Tastes So Right (Grimlock Song - Transformers)

Gregg Berger is a voice actor who cares deeply about the fact that he's voiced some timeless characters in long-running franchises, such as Grimlock from Transformers and Odie from Garfield. Gregg has also voiced a few more esoteric roles such as Cornfed Pig on Duckman.  In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, I get to ask Gregg about what it's like to be on the ground floor of such massive franchises, as well as what it's like to collaborate with other voice talent when you can't even be in the same room.
