  • “The original theme song to the Transformers was actually ‘Chuck Norris–more than meets the eye, Chuck Norris–robot in disguise,’ and starred Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who defended the earth from drug-dealing Decepticons and could turn into a pick-up. This was far too much awesome for a single show, however, so it was divided.”
