In 2003, the band released ''[[Transform (Powerman 5000 album)|Transform]]'', a more punk-fueled album, completely dropping the costumes that had been featured throughout the band's ''Tonight The Stars Revolt!'' era. Containing the hit singles "Free" and "Action", ''Transform'' relied less on [[industrial metal]] effects.<ref name="Erlewine" /> After the album's release, the band began touring in the U.S., performing in shows such as [[X-Fest]] and making live appearances on ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live!]]'' where they performed their song "Action", and ''[[The Late Late Show (American talk show)|The Late Late Show]]'' where they performed their song "Free" respectively.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tv.com/shows/the-late-late-show-with-craig-kilborn/joseph-fiennes-and-powerman-5000-1227991/|title=The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn: Joseph Fiennes and Powerman 5000|website=TV.com|access-date=October 6, 2020|archive-date=June 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617093332/http://www.tv.com/shows/the-late-late-show-with-craig-kilborn/joseph-fiennes-and-powerman-5000-1227991/|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, DreamWorks Records was bought out by [[Interscope Records]], which stopped promoting the band and declined to take over their DreamWorks contract. Undeterred, Spider continued with his own offshoot label, Megatronic Records. In 2004, new music was released, under Spider's new label, in the form of a rarities album titled ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Vol. 1]]''.

A new tour was also started, but M.33 had been kicked out of the band for starting fights<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-powerman-5000-guitarist-won-t-be-touring-with-nine-inch-nails/|title=Former POWERMAN 5000 Guitarist Won't Be Touring With NINE INCH NAILS|date=January 17, 2005}}</ref> and Adam 12 left the band on good terms to focus on other interests including sound producing and recording with Argon 40.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oreilly.com/digitalmedia/2005/06/15/williams.html |title=Powerman 5000 review |website=Oreilly.com |access-date=April 6, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.argon40music.com:80/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309112546/http://www.argon40music.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 9, 2012 |title=Argon40 music |website=www.argon40music.com |access-date=July 28, 2019 }}</ref> Former [[Alien Ant Farm]] guitarist Terry Corso and former [[Halfcocked]] (the first band on Spider's label) guitarist Johnny Rock Heatley were brought in to round out the live show. In August 2005, Powerman 5000 performed at the sixth annual [[Gathering of the Juggalos]] on the main stage. The band then signed to [[DRT Entertainment]], who released the album entitled ''[[Destroy What You Enjoy]]'' on August 1, 2006. The song "Wild World" was the first and only single on the album, with the band also filming a music video for the song. The band would go on to tour through the U.S., including a live appearance on [[G4tv]]'s [[Attack of the Show!]], where they performed the song "Return to the City of the Dead" from ''Destroy What You Enjoy''.

In 2007, Evan Rodaniche, singer and guitarist of Los Angeles band [[Cage9]] (originally from [[Panama City, Panama]]), joined the band through his acquaintance with Adrian Ost. He toured as the band's sole guitarist until later that year, when Dave Pino was added to the mix. Pino had just moved to Los Angeles and heard about the open slot through his friendship with [[Piggy D]] (bassist for Rob Zombie). Upon the departure of Siggy from the band in 2008, Gustavo Aued was brought in to replace him on bass, and later that year, drummer Gordon Heckaman joined the band (both originally from Cage9 as well), solidifying the lineup for the next album.
