History Main / AutobotsRockOut

** One of them was used in [[LegoCrossoverGame Lego Star Wars II]]. How could that not prove its awesomeness?

* ''FinalFantasyVI'', ''[[FinalFantasyVII VII]]'', and even ''[[FinalFantasyMysticQuest Mystic Quest]]'', have rock music for boss battles.

** The theme "Otherworld" in ''FinalFantasyX'', is first used during Sin's arrival. It then becomes [[spoiler:Jecht's]] battle theme. It's not so much rock as a homage to everything Music/{{Rammstein}} (even though [[UrbanLegendOfZelda they didn't actually perform it.]])

** ''FinalFantasyIV's'' final battle theme, which already rocks hard, was re-used as the final race theme for Chocobo Racing. Ooooh yeah.
** ''FinalFantasyVIII'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVkcmx2l3WA The Extreme]] as its final battle music. It starts slow. Very slow. And then it gets ''awesome''.
** ''VI'''s final battle theme ''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Dancing Mad]]'' manages to pull this off in epic fashion, with the first three movements of the piece consisting of operatic organ instrumentals with the last being a chaotic rock song that fits the final showdown with [[spoiler: Kefka himself]] perfectly.

* ''{{Halloween}}: The Curse of Michael Myers'' has a mean electric guitar version of Michael's regular {{Leitmotif}} play at several points.

* Nothing says "[[TheKingOfFighters Rugal]] will kick your ass and then bronze you" quite like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkvWYtAkGP0 this number]].

* In the [[VideoGames/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World video game]], the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ZIMl6oTmg final boss music]] is this.

** The theme "Otherworld" in ''FinalFantasyX'', is first used during Sin's arrival. It then becomes [[spoiler:Jecht's]] battle theme. It's not so much rock as a homage to everything {{Rammstein}} (even though [[UrbanLegendOfZelda they didn't actually perform it.]])

* The Battle of Hope, the military turning point in '' WorldWarZ '', begins with the U.S. Army blasting IronMaiden in an attempt to draw hordes of zombies to the slaughter. The soldier being interviewed [[LampshadeHanging notes]] that it really didn't matter to the zombies what music they were playing, but the heavy metal soundtrack got the soldiers [[ThePowerOfRock hyped for the battle]].

*** For those unaware (And why would you be!?), Libera Me From Hell is the [[AwesomeMusic/TengenToppaGurrenLagann awesome]] child of a great rap fused with a OneWomanWail. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yo4At8QMhw It's incredible.]]

*** Don't forget the theme of Mu -12- in ContinuumShift, Sword of Doom. It starts out ominous like Awakening the Chaos, then it gets ''even more rocking'' than it.

* Rainbow Dash's {{Lietmotif}} in MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.

* Rainbow Dash's [[Lietmotif]] in MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.

* ''{{Shrek}} 3''. The best use of "[[LedZeppelin Immigrant Song]]" ever. [[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNu_kqxqbew Snow White uses it to defeat two evil trees standing guard.]]]] (and it's followed by a cover of Heart's "Barracuda")

* The battle themes in the recent ''PrinceOfPersia'' games aren't straight rock, but you can definitely hear the influence. Especially in ''Warrior Within'' (where {{Godsmack}} contributed two songs to the soundtrack).

* Before it came up in any of his games, SonicTheHedgehog did it at the end of an episode of the ''{{Adventures|OfSonicTheHedgehog}}'' series. It frustrated the MonsterOfTheWeek so much he blew up and caused Robotnik to do a TwinkleInTheSky.
* ''AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' had a whole ''soundtrack'' circling this trope! The opening theme, the closing theme, and just about every bit inbetween was underscored with some over-the-top [[TheEighties Eighties power ballad]]. To the fanbase, the soundtrack is an intrinsic part of the series' charm. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sso3h0xMJA&feature=related Here's a sample]], with clips from a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ptitle1fqxgbbvavmd particularly crack-tastic episode]]

** It ''really'' doesn't hurt that most of the sequel's soundtrack was provided by [[{{ACDC}} AC/DC]].

* Army Aviation to the tune of {{ACDC}}. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FPcA7rNbTs Thunderstruck]]

* ''{{Shrek}} 3''. The best use of "[[LedZeppelin Immigrant Song]]" ever. [[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNu_kqxqbew Snow White uses it to utterly pwn two evil trees standing guard.]]]] (and it's followed by a cover of Heart's "Barracuda")

** [[Film/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer The movie]] took this concept to new levels of awesome by combining several themes from the main series at once, adding awesome chanting and then making it 8 minutes of [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome pure awesome]]. Called ''Final Mission ~ Quantum Burst,'' you can listen to it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G-up9g5oig here]].

** {{Persona 4}} follows in its predecessor's stead by using a fun, catchy, vocalized tune for standard battles, then rocking out for bosses - [[EarWorm most memorably]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_58-XYXuJMs "I'll Face Myself,"]] played for the characters' shadow counterparts. And then it all gets completely inverted with [[spoiler:the secret ''real'' final boss and its fully-orchestrated theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ghYuPzvqE "Genesis."]]]]

** The UpdatedRerelease of the original {{Persona}} adds in some rock to it's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Olve5ACYQ final battle music.]] Also [[{{Persona 3}} ''Portable'']] gives us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkLkVgqop0 Danger Zone.]]

* Tom Siddell recognizes this. At the end of ''GunnerkriggCourt'''s particularly girly 13th chapter, he left [[TheRant a note]] jokingly promising that the next chapter would feature "monster trucks and rocking electric guitars". Unfortunately, a few too many fans took the note at face value[[hottip:* :or [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore thought they were the first]] to ''pretend'' to take the note at face value, which was no less annoying]] and began asking "Where are the electric guitars?" halfway through Chapter 14, so Tom just deleted the note.

* ''Transformers BeastWars'' runs on this trope, to absurd degrees in early episodes. Growling electric guitar riffs and high-pitched shredding accompany everything from tense shootouts and transformation sequences to conversation and a change in the weather. The music finds its footing at about the same time as the rest of the show.

* ''MonsterHunter'' 3's final boss theme song is a mix of this and ''OminousPipeOrgan''. The result is pure awesome.

* The trolls' final boss fight against the Black King in Homestuck isn't animated and is in the form of a flashback, so doesn't have music. But then the Alterniabound album answered the question of what that final boss theme would sound like with [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rex-duodecim-angelus Rex Duodecium Angelus]], a hugely awesome theme that ties all of the trolls' musical motifs into fitting music [[spoiler:to precede the creation of a new universe.]]

* ''AlanWake'' has an amazing sequence which takes place on an old stage on the farm of two aged heavy metal rockers, formerly known as the Old Gods of Asgard. All the lights and fireworks go crazy and rock n' roll blares loudly from the speakers as you fight of hordes of enemies to the tune of "Children of the Elder God," which is surprisingly rock-tastic.

* In ''FireEmblem: [[FireEmblemTheSacredStones The Sacred Stones]]'', the musical track "Powerful Foe", which is used for major boss fights, opens with an electric guitar rift followed by OminousLatinChanting.

* [[TopGun "Highway to the Danger Zone..."]]

* [[TopGun "Highway to the Danger Zone"]]

** It ''really'' doesn't hurt that most of the sequel's soundtrack was provided by {{ACDC}}.
** Special props go out again to the sequel, wherein a drunk-as-fcuk Tony asks his party's DJ to bless him with a proper soundtrack. Cue {{Queen}}'s "Another One Bites The Dust", and later, Daft Punk's "[[StealthPun Robot Rock]]".

* ''{{Shrek}} 3''. The best use of ''[[LedZeppelin Immigrant Song]]'' ever. [[spoiler: Snow White uses it to utterly pwn two evil trees standing guard.]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tjBwT2MAcM Starting at about 0:45]].
