More than meets the eye, The Cybertronic Spree are here on Earth with one critical mission: To party like it’s 1986! This band of Transformers has been brought together by the power of rock ’n roll and they can’t be stopped.

Join Hotrod, Arcee, Rumble, Unicron, Soundwave, Bumblebee, Shockwave and Quintesson as they prove they’ve got the power to light your darkest hour. Known across the galaxy for having cast aside their warring factions in the search for the ultimate party, these rockstars in disguise play music from The Transformers: The Movie, hit film and anime songs, and video game covers. They blend their love for the ’80s and ’80s metal into an energon-fueled, unforgettable live show!
Fan reviews:

This was only my second concert, and I was so happy to see the spree. Music and vibes were incredible, and they were very interactive with the crowd! Can’t wait for them again!

Perpetual smiles and all the feels. I loved this show! From rock classics and '80s cartoons and video game to lava-infused original compositions that melted my face! Awesomeness! I had a smile on the whole time. If you get a chance to go see this band, take it! No regrets!

Cybertronian fun! Had a great time at the Cybertronic Spree show! A nostalgic show that truly Rocks n “Rolls out” songs from the movie as well as a selection of great classic rock songs! I’ll definitely go see them again!

This was my first time watching them live in concert. I have to say I was hooked from the beginning of the show and the end of the show spectacular! One of my favorite concerts that I have seen in a while. Non stop excitement from start to finish. I was glad to see a great show. I even got a photo opportunity after the show with Hot Rod and Arcee. Looking forward to seeing them again.

Rocking good fun! A little cheese and a lot of rock. For as “silly” as the costumes might seem they were extremely well built and stood up to the rock. The vocals were good especially Arcee who belted out classics like barracuda and ballroom blitz very well. The instruments were played very well especially considering the costumes involved! A very good time and I highly recommend seeing this band next time they come through.

Fantastic showmanship, everyone had a blast! I was the only Transformers fan in my group, but everyone else was a fan of 80's rock. The Cybertonic Spree now how to put on a show and everyone had an amazing time. Looking forward to the next chance we get to see them.
