Megatron Has Fallen

Oct 28, 2021 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

With DJ Milky Way

I, Starscream, am now your leader. Decepticons, drop some beats!

Music with vague Transformers energy. Get ready for some 80's power ballads, cinematic scores, synthwave singles, and so much more!

Episode 04: Funding the Decepticon Army After Megatron Has Fallen

There are refineries to raid, Autobot troops to destroy! But the Decepticons have been holding too many dance parties since Megatron was overthrown, so their funding is running low... How will the Cons keep the music pumping and the energon flowing? Could this mysterious device, the WPRB Fall Drive, protect Con airwaves (and airspace)? Only one way to find out--it's time to unlock the mysteries of pledge.wprb.com!

Welcome back to Cybertron!

Greetings!

Hi Alexander, great to have ya!

Great to be here DJ Milky Way!

I missed Ken's theme last week!! Was it the guitar version? Also fun show ahead and cheers for the Dave the obscure shout out! Will definitely be listening tomorrow am

Welcome back, the one and only dude :) We played the guitar version from Street Fighter 5!

Hi everyone!

Welcome back Parrscream!

Thanks! I went out to get coffee and I got stuck in school traffic on my way back. BLASTED "The Touch" with the windows down on the way home though. :-)

ayeee, glad to hear it! blasting is the ideal way to listen to the touch, of course

I had a meeting with Shockwave that ran long. Missed The Touch, but hey, better late than never.

Hi Devastator! Are you back and ready for the best two hours of every other week?

I am, and ready to make my PRB pledge.

Welcome back Devastator! Smh, can't believe Shockwave is holding back his loyal Decepticon troops from their rightful dance parties

Some robots have no respect for other's loyalty to mid-afternoon radio show schedules.

Aye, thank you Devastator! WPRB appreciates your contribution to the Decepticon cause!

DJMW - Some requests from 4 new albums that have come out since your last show....

ohoho, please share...

For future shows, of course.....

"Dancing in the Darkness", "Weight of the World" or "Silver Screen" off the new Droid Bishop album

"Level Up" off the new Arcade High

"Close Encounter" off the new Dynatron

And "Petrichor" off the new Killstar

Oooh new killstar

All are synth/space/video game themed... trying to fit the requests to the theme of the show. :-)

Hey Alexander... the new Killstar is good stuff! Different than his previous album... more dancy and upbeat but I really like it.

Oh that sounds awesome, I’ll have to check it out! (Saving it on Spotify now) thanks!

Thanks for the recs ParrScream, they sound perfect! Perhaps they'll be making an appearance on my Thanksgiving show (11/25)--next show (11/11) will be a Two Steps from Hell specialty show!

I heard you say that earlier! Sounds awesome.... what can we expect next time? Or is it a surprise?

After "Diggy Diggy Hole" last show and now "Drunken Dwarves" this time I now have to get this Wind Rose album.

For TSFH, think epic orchestral trailer music or movie soundtracks, somewhat like Steve Jablonsky or Hans Zimmer

there'll be a sneak peek later this show!

haha, Wind Rose consistently hits it out of the ballpark

Wow! Awesome.

In the name of science indeed!

My processor is a bit scrambled right now so I can't find the pledges as they come in... If you make a pledge and would like it to be announced on-air, let me know here in chat!

another week, another Pentakill song

I did get my monthly pledge in and credited you in the comment field, so hopefully that helps you win some internal PRB bragging rights contest between the DJs

And the tshirt appears to have a robot on it, which I find very appropriate.

Haha, thank you! Yes, the tshirts are great, even greater now that they have the Devastator badge of approval

Which is technically six approvals in one.

DJMW, you are too kind, thank you very much

I can't begin to tell you what an absolute joy this show is

Thank you so much dude, it's great having you here!

I thought for sure one of those songs was from Helloween

Regardless I'm digging the playlist

Welcome Doo-Wop! Man, Helloween would've been perfect--gonna stash that away for a future show

Love the pic Doo-Wop!

🤘

Holy moly, I love this song...

"Symphony X"... Castlevania reference?

I'm not sure when Castlevania was first created, but Symphony X was assembled in 1994!

The band has them beat. I thought it was a mashup of Symphony of the Night/Dracula X, but those both came out mid to late 90s

I'm swelling with Jersey pride hearing this

Totally agree.... this song is GREAT!

idk what's in the Middletown water, but whatever it is, it's making great power metal bands

Manowar, Blackmore Night ... reminding me of these band. Heh it's been a few decades since I've dusted off those cassette tapes

My crazy youth of speed metal 🤪

Manowar's excellent--along with the other big boys like Sabaton and Powerwolf, they were a gateway for getting me into metal as well :)

SHREDS!

Welcome Brian, glad you're enjoying the sick guitar!

Just pledged..... can't wait to get that shirt!

Awesome, thank you ParrScream, and enjoy your Devastator-approved shirt!

If it is Devastator approved, you know it is cool.

You two couldn't be more correct.

Well, looks like we're going to see Symphony X soon!

They're stopping by NYC on May 10, 2022, Baltimore on June 11, and Montclair NJ on June 12!

This show rocks! Gives me so much Energon!

lol, thanks and welcome GalvaShaun! truly an excellent name

This totally fits the theme of the show. I love it.

GalvaShaun..... Hopefully we don't have any issues concerning who is THE leader of the Decepticons.....

Megatron may have fallen, but does that mean Galvatron has risen???

:-D..... Title of a new radio show next season DJMW?

Parrscream, We all know who the real leader is... :-)

Even if I am destroyed, remember that I can come back as a ghost.

Unfortunately Shockwave needs me to get on a call, so I'm logging off a half hour early. DJMW, thanks again for another awesome show. Hear you again in two weeks!

cya Devastator, thanks for tuning in!

Later Devastator.... Keep Shockwave in line.

How is the show almost over already? It flew by!

you know what they say, the chronometer flies when you're having fun :)

Ha! They definitely do say that and it is definitely true.

Just put in for mY monthly pledge to get that awesome robot WPRB t-shirt! Thanks DJ Milkyway for doing Megatron Has Fallen. I wish this show did not have to ROLL OUT already!

Has anyone else used this for one of their tiktok videos? 😅

Thanks so much GalvaShaun! We may be rolling out soon, but the Decepticons will rise up again another day!

haha, Runaway does seem like the type of song that would blow up on tiktok, so it's definitely possible!

Lol I love AURORA

new AURORA album coming January!

Another great show! Hopefully the next two weeks fly by!

Oh that’s awesome @DJ Milky Way!

Thanks so much for tuning in, everyone! See you November 11th for some epic orchestral madness :)

Bots out.... Bots on...
