That’s a good part of Outshined. Right or wrong, it sounds kind of right when played, but right or wrong it’s good for finger position changing. Weird chords. That’s what it did for me.

The other cool part of that song is when it completely changes into almost a country sounding riff.

This book and those songs, late 90’s, I was going through some rough times trying to grow up, find a direction, living on my own, I was living in this apartment in a small 6 apartment building owned by by this old German dude. Neighbour across the hall from me is this grumpy crotchety old fucker. Giving me s*** for parking, he’s OCDing on me. I listened then “Hey, you got a smoke man?” He goes, yeah, come on over and have a toke…” I go over there, he has a propane tank in the center of the room, with a torch, and a tuna can on top, dropping hash oil on there, using a pen to toke? I’m like holy f*** man… Turned out to be a good dude. I don’t know what happened to him, he bought a house in the middle of nowhere, this was late 90’s the D dude sold the building, he was a good shrink and would get anyone high. Always has a baby food jar of oil, some weed, hash, entire room lined with video tapes, movies, PBS documentaries, no cable, VHS, records, big collection. BUT I had a s***** old acoustic, neck separating from the body of the guitar, I sanded the fretboard down bare, but I would tune it up and play Outshined and STP Plush. There was this kid who moved in, lived upstairs. He was cool, her hang out there too. There was always someone hanging out. But yeah, I’d play that guitar, it was falling apart, but it sounded amazing. I had people outside at times going “holy s*** man… Was that you playing guitar? Yeah? You’re pretty good. I’d play my own jams and riffs in different tunings. People would hear it, I probably WAS pretty good too (Oh Yeah Stone Temple Pilots version of Dancing Days was another one I’d play and still can play) because I had nothing else to do. I’d play guitar. No cable, no such thing as internet. So I would play.

But at one point, I think it was just after I moved out late 90’s, maybe 99, I went to him and offed my guitar for a gram of oil. It was wortess. $150 BC Rish from the 80’s, my brother gave it away, got it back 7 or 8 years later with stickers all over it, came to my place and offered it to me, I took it. F****** right, cool. Traded it.

I come back, later, curiosity, wheres the guitar? Apparently the guy he took it to to repair told him it wasn’t even worth it, he knew but he gave it to Luke upstairs. Apparently “he had to have it” which was a compliment to me. I got a kick out of that.

ALIEN TRANSFORMERS ARE REAL!
The All-Spark was the cube that gave life to the first Dynasty of Primes and the Transformer race to work under the Primes. All the Primes died out under the Fallen Prime (who had his little episode in Transformers 2). Many years later, the Transformers discover the remains of the Fallen Prime, and the Fallen somehow influences Megatron into turning to the dark side. Thus, the Autobot vs. Decepticon war.

It was known that the Primes could move back and forth in time, which is a product of the All-Spark and Sentinel Prime’s Space-Bridge (which makes an appearance in Transformers 3). Well, I propose that humans created the All-Spark somewhere in the future, and at some point, Cybertron got teleported several millenia into the past. The All-Spark itself got teleported back to Earth several million years in the past, where it lay for a long time until Megatron found it in Transformers 1. The prequel establishes that the Transformers had been looking for the All-Spark for millenia, so here’s the timeline we have relative to present Earth day:

4 Million Years in the Past: The All-Spark and Cybertron get teleported to the past. The All-Spark lands on Earth, and all the Transformers begin looking for it.

Some Point in the Past: Megatron finds the All-Spark but gets frozen in the ice

Some Point in the Past: In Transformers 2 it was established that Autobots had been hiding on Earth for a while, probably just not knowing where the All-Spark was but waiting to find out?

Present Day Earth: Events of Transformers 1 unfold when Decepticons land on Earth and Blackout attacks the military base in Qatar. Cue the events of Transformers 2 and 3.

Future: At some point in the future, humans had advanced far enough to create the All-Spark to give life to their mechanical creations.

A human-made All-Spark would make sense because the All-Spark had “unknown origins” anyway, so let’s fill in the gaps. Transformers and the All-Spark have to be manmade because they wouldn’t be so comfortable interacting with human machinery and resembling humans. The All-Spark, which gives life to machines, would hypothetically not be able to interact with human technology if it was made by some other alien race. It would only be able to interact with that alien race’s technology, because we can’t assume that another alien race serendipitously made circuit boards and computers in the same exact way we did.

This theory came from noticing how humanoid Transformers look. In the Michael Bay films, the Transformers are designed to resemble humans. They walk upright, have four limbs, and have working eyes/mouths that move when they talk. Functionally, there isn’t even a reason for their mouths to move. Can’t they just use speakers?! For that reason, we can assume they were made to resemble humans. Again, no other alien race would serendipitously create humanoid-looking organisms that look the exact same as we do. Just because we walk upright and have four limbs doesn’t mean any other race needs to.

In conclusion:

Humans created the All-Spark, which gave life to Transformers. The Transformers fought and utilized the All-Spark’s ability to teleport, sending everyone 4 million years into the past.

Feasibly, if an alien race created the All-Spark then it wouldn’t be able to interact with human technology, because alien technology probably doesn’t work the same at all.

Transformers are made to resemble humans because they’re manmade, otherwise they wouldn’t need to move their mouths to talk. You say, “Well that’s just some CGI magic!”. I say that’s evidence. An alien race probably wouldn’t look exactly like us, so how would they know to make Transformers look exactly like us?
