Linkin Park's new "Iridescent" video shows us the first imagery of
SPOILER! (select to read)Megatron's transformation. You see it around the 2min30sec mark.

SPOILER! (select to read)Hmm... there's something about that transformation sequence that's different to all his other, past transformations. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but to me it seems... I dunno... kinda slow. Careful. All his past transformations by comparison have been swift, frenetic...violent. This one isn't. Plot point, maybe?
Also, really digging the way he reaches up to pull that hood down over his head just as he finishes transforming.
I'm not really a fan of this song. Or their new album, actually... For me their music has drifted away from where they started. The song fits the feel of the film, don't get me wrong..., but as music, it's just not for me.
Times change, sure, and music changes with them... but Linkin Park have changed their music just a little bit too much. I preferred them during the days of
Hybrid Theory and
Meteora, and maybe even
Minutes to Midnight in some places. But not this new stuff - it's a step too far away from who they were when they began.
