Music: DJ Excision features "Transformers One" at the Bass Canyon Music Festival

In August 2024 DJ Excision performed a set at Bass Canyon Music Festival at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington to a crowd of 27,000 attendees.

Now here's something wonderful and unexpected.  The Official Hasbro China Weibo Account has posted a video featuring a group of musicians using traditional Chinese Instruments to play the G1 theme song from the 80's!  The group is accompanied by imagery of Transformers products including an Arcee statue, Kingdom Airazor, Rhinox, Megatron and more.  Cybertron 21 on Youtube was kind enough to mirror this video on Youtube so
