Transformer music

Like many cultures, Transformers make music to express themselves. (The Decepticon Squawkbox, for instance, is a passionate musician.) However, very few of these alien songs have ever been recorded or played for human ears.

Devil's Due G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers continuity

At least in this continuity, Cybertron had a rich history of music. With his Matrix-granted powers, the former G.I. Joe commander Hawk had access to a database of at least 11 million traditional Cybertronian songs. One apparently has a line that goes: "Protoform/Protoform/What will you be?"
