This came to be as I was writing a chapter for another fanfic of mine's. I like to listen to music while I write, specifically dubstep and drum & bass. Then I wondered how the Transformers would react to it...

"Incoming transmission of unknown origin, Lord Megatron," an Eradicon called to his superior as the mysterious encrypted signal appeared on the drone's screen. Megatron, lost in wonderful daydreams consisting mostly of killing and dismembering Starscream, growled impatiently. "Then identify it, you dull-spark!" he commanded, nearing the Eradicon's workspace, so he was close enough to slap him if neccessary.
"It has a Decepticon-esque code, but the encryption is-" The drone was silenced by a back-hand across his helm from his pistoned-off leader.
"Play it anyway," Megatron ordered, to which the Eradicon obeyed.
At first, there was silence. Then, a series of tuneful notes faintly came into hearing range, slowly growing louder and more complex in the musical structure.
"What on Cybertron is this?" Megatron exclaimed, perplexed by this alien sound. Suddenly, fractured human voices joined in the noise- at least, they sounded human. Except no organic voice could sound like that...
The music steadily increased in volume, setting parts of the Nemisis vibrating from the intensity. It made Megatron nervous, that such a seemingly harmless signal could affect his ship in any way. "Turn it off" he commanded, suceeding in keeping a worried tremor out of his voice. The noise persisted.
"I said, TURN IT O-"
"Lord Megatron, the controls are stuck! I can't-" The confused Eradicon was given another punch in the armour. Similiar cries arose from all around the Control Room from the other Eradicons and Vehicons, complaining of their interfaces freezing and shutting off. Soundwave entered from the back of the room, attracted by all the ruckus.
In the background, now blaring all over the Nemisis, the music began to build up and rise to a crescendo...
"Soundwave, what in the name of Primus is happening?" Megatron practically screamed over the noise to his Communications Officer, who remained silent and shrugged his shoulder plates. Starscream burst into the room, crying in pain as his audio's were assualted by the music. "MAKE IT STOP!" he pleaded repeatedly to no-one in particular.
The noise grew higher in pitch and crowded with overlapping beats, until...
The Nemesis was almost blown apart as the pitch dropped to a near audio-destroying level, the resulting 'wub' sound crumpling the ship's infrastructure and blowing several engines out. The clouds themselves were pushed back as the airspace was bombarded with sound-generated shockwaves. Several Eradicons threw themselves off the ship to escape the cacophony and anarchy that the Decepticons had been overwhelmed with in the space of mere nano-klicks.
With the engines shot, the Nemesis spiralled downwards towards Earth, leaving a pillar of fire and smoke in its wake.
Megatron rubbed his pounding helm as his ship burned all around him, surrounded by his injured minions, Knock Out wailing nearby about his paint being scratched in the descent. Filled with unimaginable fury, Megatron roared to the heavens the only one he could think to blame:
"STAAAAAAARSCREAAAAAAAAAM!"
