Good luck. I've just came out of my vid-creating hiatus now that I've finally chosen the song for Optimus Primal.

I already know that Prime will be a hard one to choose for myself as well. I already know the song I will use for Rodimus Prime. Don't ask, though, I'm not into telling before making it. I will say this; the song I have planned for Rodimus centers more around his inadequacies and low self-esteem as a leader rather than being a fan-ish video.

Sounds like like a "Lincoln Park - In the End (It Doesn't Even Matter") or "Crawling" video.

Please PM me whenever you get it done. I love seeing new videos especially Rodimus ones... and there really aren't that many of him.

In the End is good if you highlight the Return of Optimus Prime.

I'll do that if I remember too. Like I said, I just got back into it with Optimus Primal, then I need to do BW Megs., then I'll try and find something for Optimus Prime and then I'll be doing the Rodimus one. So, it will be awhile.

It has been so long of a time period I've been "working" on that one that I'd rather just not say and save myself the humiliation of how long. It would just show how much of a procrastinator I am. Take your longest guess and times it by 10.

I hear that. I already know that the deadly sin I'm going to he|| for is sloth.

I should also note that Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime will be getting a video eventually before the end of time too and that a couple of these songs were considered for him, but that I can't decide who they work better for. I'll let you decide...

Crawling in the Dark - Hoobastank

Blaze of Glory - Bon Jovi

Hero - Nickleback

There was a couple more I had thought of but slip my mind at the moment. I guess I'll leave it at that. I'll take suggestions too, but keep it to one or 2 per post so that it's easier to keep track of. The idea behind the video is to Highlight Prime's dedication to his Autobots and the sacrifices he made, along with the triumps he endured in battle to showcase his fire and passion. He was a ferocious fighter when it came to those he cared about and the values he held. Blaze of Glory just came to me the other night when I saw some one singing it on TV and how Peter Cullen always used a little bit of John Wayne to create Optimus Prime originally made it start to make sense. Especially how Optimus died and how nobody really ever made a video out of a different type of song like that from what I've seen.

In all honesty though, when going with this theme it's very hard not to confuse Optimus and Rodimus together when picking a song. So many songs work great for the both of them and it's hard to distinguish them apart, lyricly speaking. They both made sacrifices for their Autobots.

I also thought about using Lincoln Parks In the End for Rodimus but I like Deny alot and it might work for him. That's up for you guys to decide.

Thoughts? The voting and suggestions starts now!

for Prime you could use superman by Five for fighting.

for rodimus i think a linkin park song would be good...in the end, easier to run, or their new song What i've done.

A personal update:

I was just listening to songs on the CD that has the song I know I will use for a tribute for TFTM in general.

I heard another song that works perfectly for doing a tribute of Megatron and Galvatron together.

Because of this, I've decided to use the song I already know for Rodimus/Hot Rod and have it be with Optimus Prime as well.

Hence, I say to you Hot_Rod, that you might consider doing the same with one of your three listed songs.
