HMW2 Faction Theme Songs

Postby Omega Sentinel » Tue Jul 17, 2007 11:01 am

Disclaimer: this thread is not an official anything other than the faction descriptions. The theme song concept is just for fun.

Given the official storylines for each of the 4 factions in HMW2, I thought it would be fun to see what theme songs you all think each faction should have.

Here is a synopsis of each of the 4 factions:

Maximals -
They have been in charge for thousands of years only to see order disintegrate before their eyes. The High Council's diplomatic ways of handling conflicts are no longer keeping the peace and now they have to organize themselves as a military power on Cybertron in order to survive.

Predacons -
Only a small political lobby on Cybertron for the better part of a thousand years, the Predacons have waited for the time when they can overthrow the Maximal High Council and take over Cybertron. The recent activities of the Decepticons have opened up the opportunities they have been waiting for.

Decepticons -
Since the dawn of the second Golden Age of Cybertron, the Decepticons have been reduced to nothing more than criminal activities. They are mainly viewed as a criminal organization on Cybertron but in truth they still have as much military strength as the Maximals. Being influenced by unknown outside forces, the Decepticons have come out of the shadows and are attempting to re-establish the Empire.

Autobots -
For hundreds of years the Transformers true to the ancient Autobot faction have been well known throughout the stars. They have travelled far as explorers, protectors and peacemakers. Since hearing of all the brewing conflict on Cybertron, The Autobots spread throughout the galaxy along with the few still on Cybertron have been rallied by an ancient leader to defend the homeworld from impending doom.


Ok....Here are my thoughts for theme songs:

Maximals = Fall to Pieces by Velvet Revolver
Predacons = Bodies by Drowning Pool
Decepticons = Back in Black by AC/DC
Autobots = Hero by Nickelback

Motto: "Your end shall justify my means."
Weapon: High-Energy Laser Rifle
Gods of War by Def Leppard could work for the Autobots.

Feelin' like it's all over
Feelin' like there's no love
Feelin' like it's not easy
Breathin' life in the dust
On a countdown to zero
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anything

Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
When we all fall down

When we walk into silence
When we shadow the sun
When we surrender to violence
Then the damage is done
Put away that gun

I don't wanna be there
I don't wanna be anywhere

Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
That's right

We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' with the gods of war
But I'm a rebel
And I ain't gonna fight no more
No way

On a countdown to zero
Take a ride on the nightmare machine
There ain't gonna be heroes
There ain't gonna be anything

Here it comes, here comes the night
Here it comes, hell in the night
Here it comes, here comes the night
Don't ya know that's right

We're fightin' for the gods of war
But what the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' with the gods of war
And I ain't gonna fight no more
Stop fightin' for the gods of war
Yeah what the hell we fightin' for
What in the hell we fightin' for
We're fightin' with the gods of war

Maximals:
Metallica 'Don't Tread on Me'


"Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage"

"So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that youll hear evermore...

Dont tread on me"


Predacons:
Disturbed 'Prayer'


"Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that Ive taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening"


Decepticons:
Metallica 'Battery'


"Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay"


Autobots:
Guns N' Roses 'Live & Let Die'


"When you were young
and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
But if this ever changin
in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die"
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.
