Theme Tune
The Cars – Drive
Who’s gonna tell you when
It’s too late?
Who’s gonna tell you things
Aren’t so great?
You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong, oh oh
Who’s gonna drive you home
Tonight?
Who’s gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who’s gonna hang it up
When you call?
Who’s gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
Who’s gonna plug their ears
When you scream?
You can’t go on
Thinking nothing’s wrong, oh oh
(Who’s gonna drive you?)
Who’s gonna drive you home
(Who’s gonna drive you? Who’s gonna drive)
Tonight?
End Credits
What I’ve Done – Linkin Park
There’s no blood, there’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come and wash away
I’ll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
I’ll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done

Trivia
While Sam is looking for the glasses at his house and after the electrical transformer has been destroyed, the electricity to Sam’s house is mostly out during interior shots (mostly, because it appears his desk lamp is on with low wattage). When perspective switches to show the exterior of the house, the outdoor lights are on and the interior lights are on which is clearly visible through the windows.
The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car. It went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967.
The current-generation Chevrolet Camaro’s marketing got kicked off with its role as Bumblebee in the past Transformers movies, and Transformers 4 will now give us the first look at the next-generation Camaro.
Michael Bay has revealed and confirmed that the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Concept pictured above will play the role of Bumblebee and is the “final jewel in the Transformers 4 crown.”
Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009.Bumblebee is the ‘little brother’ of the heroic or protagonistic Autobot faction and a mascot, constantly striving to prove himself in the eyes of the other robots – especially his leader, Optimus Prime. This often causes him to take risks that put him in danger. Although a bit of a smart aleck, he is a capable and reliable messenger and spy, his small size allowing him to go places that his larger commanders cannot.
Trivia
Composer Steve Jablonsky, who collaborated with Bay on The Island, scored music for the trailers before work began on the film itself. Recording took place in April 2007, at the Sony Scoring Stage in Culver City, California. The score, including the teaser music, uses six major themes across ninety minutes of music.The Autobots have three themes, one named “Optimus” to represent the wisdom and compassion of the Autobot leader, and another played during their arrival on Earth. The Decepticons have a chanted theme which relies on electronics, unlike most of the score. The AllSpark also has its own theme. Hans Zimmer, Jablonsky’s mentor, also helped to compose the score.

[first lines]
Optimus Prime: Before time began, there was the Cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony. But like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death, and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home. …
