After more than 30 years, we finally got an official release of the G1 score. Even it was planned to be released on vinyl, it only took a few hours to be out of stock.
If you are one of those who couldn’t grab a copy, we are sure this news will please you. Enjoy The Ride/Toons on Twitter and Facebook have confirmed a repress of the Transformers G1 Score Vinyl.
“For those who missed out on the first pressing of our #Transformers TV soundtrack release, we are happy to announce that we just got the go ahead on a REPRESS! We hope to have more In hand by the summer or before but of course will keep everyone updated as things progress”.
While the new repress is coming this summer, you can already check our in-hand images and review of the G1 vinyl, thanks to our very own Tony Bacala. There are no news on the horizon for a release in any other format (CD, digital) yet.
You can now click on the bar and sound off you impressions at the 2005 Boards!

I need more details. This is a must have for me. I don't own a record player so vinyl is a no go.
Dark Jedi
The season 3 score slams so hard.

Yeah unfortunately there's just one unreleased track, plus the remix of the main TF theme that they previewed last week on Pulse.
Inikalord
This is probably just me but the Optimus in that image kinda looks like TE-01 Op Leader.
Not that it's a bad thing or anything. Just kinda almost looks like the art was drawn from reference of a posed figure.
Murasame
Oh, then I'll cancel. Thanks. I thought this time it had all the missing tracks.
Geof7609
It's being released digitally (which technically could include a CD release, but there's only two new tracks on this rerelease.
Murasame
Pre-ordered. I'd rather have it on CD, I Already have the first vinyl. But I want the season 3 score.

Pardon me for starting a new thread on this, really did try searching for any threads first (and misread my info at first), but was in a time crunch behind the screen.

The aforementioned vinyl release is the only commercially available option right now. Hasbro teased that a new CD and digital release is on the way this year, but no further details have been released after the initial announcement.
Poppes
I would be interested to buy (or rent) the original scores including this music. Do you guys have a clue if it would be possible in any way?
Rodimus
great news!
ILoveLuci4
Yeeeaaah…I was excited for a minute; Then I realized everything y’all have written. Meh.
what’s that fansite that created the tracks?
Jetstorm
Awesome that the music is getting an official digital release! Buuut I already have the version that the fans made for all three seasons, so I don’t really need it lol.
Hoping for Beast Wars and Beast Machines someday, though.
Beast_Megatron
Correct. And it was a recreation, not the original. I’m guessing there were rights issues with the vocal track.

The vinyl only had the season 1 OP, right? I’m hoping this digital release is more expansive.
Beast_Megatron
I think you may be disappointed based on the vinyl.
shamanking282
I will be ecstatic if we finally get high quality versions of all the G1 openings (especially season 2) without all the pew-pew effects and crap in it.
Murasame
We'll see. But even if it's just digital but in great quality then I might just get the digital files. But since my childhood I love putting in a disc and then looking at the cover or booklet while listening
jamarmiller
Well. I am assuming that is what they meant, I may be wrong and hope I am wrong
