Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
The Decepticons used the singer's popularity to their advantage, sabotaging a concert at Municipal Stadium in an unknown city in northwestern Oregon. Shortly after the show began, they placed a power siphon over the stage to convert the music and the crowd's roars of applause into energon. This had the unfortunate side effect of sucking away most of the music, until a team of Autobots led by Bumblebee foiled the plan by snapping the siphon's cable. This prompted the Decepticons to counter-attack.
When a stray cluster bomb damaged Springstern's stage rigging, the Autobot Hoist popped up in the middle of the concert to stop it from falling and repair it. The easy-going Springstern explained the giant robot as simply part of the show.
Springstern never had a light show before, till Bumblebee and Shockwave provided one. Rock and Roll-Out!
Days later, Triple-I reviewed footage of the incident at Springstern's concert. I, Robot-Master!

Notes
- Springstern's name is erroneously given as "Brick Springhorn" at one point in the issue that introduces him. The Marvel UK story "The Wrath of Guardian!", a music cassette with the song "Glory Days" on it misspells Brick Springstern's name as "Bruce Springsteen".
Foreign names
