Dancitron

Just wait 'til they find out there are no Wiis left.

The Dancitron was a popular dance club in New York City, frequented by people with hilariously ugly clothing. Its music selection ranged all the way from "Cold Slither" to big-band music... and that's it. Just those two pieces of music.

Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

The Transformers cartoon

Seriously, the '80s looked exactly like this.

It was also a front for some kind of a Decepticon plot, courtesy of Starscream and Soundwave. They used Soundwave's abilities to hypnotize patrons into building something large and mysterious. (How the housewives and businessmen that got hyp-mo-tised got to Dancitron in the first place is unknown.) As luck would have it, Raoul discovered that the hypnotism could be broken by getting its victims slightly wet once, forever immunizing the victim.

The audience is now deaf.

Dancitron was later destroyed as a result of a battle between Soundwave and Blaster, when the latter used the trumpet-speakers from the comically huge speaker system to boost his volume up to eleven. Hundred. Eleven hundred.

It wasn't a very good plan. Auto-Bop

Legends comic

Soundwave-turned-Soundblaster established a second Dancitron in the Legends Universe, using it to hypnotizing patrons into distracting Blaster while he stole the Zodiac, which he then used to transform the Dancitron building into a transtector. After deciding to be Blaster's rival in music industry instead of on the battlefield, he made the Dancitron a legit business to rival Blaster Blues. LG36 Soundwave

Animated cartoon

The Dancitron was an event advertised in the Detroit Powell Press. Bands at that venue included Cold Slither, The Electric Insects, [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Dingoes ate my baby|{{#if:Dingos Ate My Baby|Dingos Ate My Baby|Dingoes ate my baby}}]], and many more. The AllSpark Almanac

Shattered Glass

Pleb, be glad we even let you look at a picture of Dancitron.

The swanky Dancitron was where the best got turned away because they weren't the best of the best. President Colton himself has boogied at the Dancitron! After months of defending Earth, the heroic Decepticons Soundwave and Blitzwing got an invite but Soundwave's tape Slugfest had to wait outside. Sunrise
