A number people have been spending time digging around on Paramount’s Sector Seven website, a viral site designed to dole out Transformers tidbits to anyone interested in wasting hours there. I love Transformers, but I’m perfectly happy to let other people do the digging, people like AICN.

They’ve been rummaging around and have discovered what they believe to be the new, updated Transformers theme song Michael Bay will use with his new movie. There’s no way to confirm it at this point, it’s entirely possible this could be some sort of internet only nugget that will never actually be in the film. To me though, it sounds like the sort of thing that might be played over the closing credits, the way that Aerosmith do-over of the old Spider-Man themesong was during the credits of the first Spidey movie.

However Bay decides to use it, I’m going to come right out and say I like. No, scratch that, I love it. I know, that’s not cool. If you’re a cranky, asshole internet idiot you’re supposed to hate any movie soundtrack that uses anything but a standard orchestral score, doubly so if that non-traditional music uses rock guitars. Whatever. I like guitars and can always do with more of them. Love the way this song incorporates elements of the original song from the TV show and mixes it with a mildly modern, rock/rap feel. No one seems to know who it is that’s singing it, but to me it sounds a lot like Bowling for Soup.
