Hi Guys

I'm compiling a list of Transformers sightings in non-tf shows,
movies, music, books etc. (I've just added the TF sighting cameo
mention in Matthew Reilly's latest novel 'The 5 Greatesr Warriors')

I'd like ppl to e-mail me with sightings big or small (other than the
ones listed in the link below) that I've already compiled. I'll
credit you by your handle when next I update. Thanks!

I'm guessing there will be some more now that the francchise and
movies have taken off again.

The ones I already have are here http://seawave.fortunecity.com/tfsight.htm

Happy sighting! (Any updates and corrections/additions to entries I
already have welcome also)

Thanks

Seawave,every time I go to the gym to work out.

there's this one song I keep hearing on the radio.

the song keeps mentioning the words "more than meets thee eye."

the song is about a rich girl & poor boy having a chrush on each other
in high school.
the rich girl listens to her friends on ignores the poor boy. years
later the poor boy became a rock star living off his guitar. the rich
girls friends call her & they all go to a rock concert to see the poor
boy playing on stage in a rock band.

"Sk8r Boi" by Avril Lavigne? (Yes, I know that's not how you spell
Skater Boy but that's how I've seen the title spelled).

Yes that's the song title.

Interestingly, the song's sung from the perspective of a girl who sees
herself as the current girlfriend of the rock star in question, and spends
the song telling the previous girl that ha ha, she had her opportunity and
blew it.

However, if you listen carefully, there's no indication anywhere in the
song that the guitar player in question actually sees the singer as his
girlfriend at all, that the previous girl is at all unhappy with her
decision, or that the guitar player won't still want to date the original
girl.

It all sounds rather self-delusional, to be honest - as if by singing
about it, the singer can make the world confirm to her view of events. For
all we know, she's a fangirl groupie that the guitar player doesn't even
know exists.

Why is a shitty teenybopper pop song from seven years ago playing
repeatedly on the radio at your gym?

Do you mean non-TF show appearances by actual TFs (such as "Optimus
Prime, he's jewish?!?" in Family guy) or do you mean instances of
transforming robots which are not Transformers? I'm assuming it's the
former...

I'm not sure what the intent of the song was. I find the song a bit
petty. If she is the current girlfriend, why does she need to brag about
it and put the old would-be g.f. down in a song? It seems kind of
insecure to me...

The name of the page is a hoot. "The Siege" was 1998, not
1988 as listed.

I got the impression that the guy who ignored the "Sk8r Boi" in high
school was the one singing the song. that same girl who ignored the
"Sk8r boi? was the one who went to the concert with her friends. that
same guy who ignored the "Sk8r boi" was the guy who went behind stage
& started dating the sk8r boi at the end of the song.

The sk8r boi even made a song about the girl he once loved in high
school who ignored him later on.

There was a song that came out about 8 years ago called "Because I got
High" by Afroman in which he wears a t-shirt with the Decepticon logo on
it. Here's a link to the video on youtube.

primustf - who actually thought the video/song was quite amusing when it
first came out.

Thanks for this tidbit *goes off to download the song*

ALso, Are there any newer sightings also with the new movies out, I'd
imagine there'd be more references with the new stuff also.

Thanks, guys for your help!

The NZ group's name is spelled "Deceptikonz". They used to use the
Decepticon insignia, but it looks like they're using a heavily
modified version now. Probably got a cease and desist from Hasbro. :)

Also in NZ, we have Optimus Gryme: http://www.optimusgryme.co.nz/

I do not know if Optimus Gryme and the Deceptikonz have ever done
battle, however!

Channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0jZzBEKIMc (it's about half way
through)
