Best Battle Cries

Wired.com has their top ten list of best battle cries. You know, when He-Man yells, “By the power of Greyskull … I have the powerrr!!!” That kind of thing.

The list is okay, but it’s missing some of my favorites like:

“Let’s show’em some thunder!” from the G.I. Joe animated series.

“Knuckle up!” from Matrix Revolutions as the sentinels raided Zion and the exo-skeleton armored humans defended the last free city.

“Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you’re already dead!” from Gladiator.

“Autobots! Roll out.” from the Transformers.

And the best of all is this “battle cry” which isn’t so much of a verbal cry. But when bad guys heard this, they knew a beat down was coming, and they’d end up as a pile of burnt out gears.
