One of this fan’s personal favorite things about the Transformers live-action movie series is the stirring score that accompanies the action. Whether it is the epic “Arrival to Earth” or Shockwave’s theme, the score for the three movies has never failed to set an appropriately epic musical backdrop to the gigantic robot-on-robot combat on the big screen. With composer Steve Jablonsky having masterfully scored three Transformers movies now, it should come as little surprise that he has recently updated his official website to include “Transformers 4” under his list of current and upcoming projects.
We don’t know much about Transformers 4 yet, but as we learn more we’ll be updating with the latest right here. But now we know one more thing – Transformers 4 will carry on the series tradition of epic orchestral scores.

This is a Reboot? When was this said to be a Reboot?

Great news – even if the movie(s) suck, they'll sound great.
"The Arrival" is still one of my top-10 movie songs; quite possibly top-5.

This announcement made my day

Oh, I hear that! Just my sarcastic way of saying I'm still waiting on a physical CD release of DOTM.

I don't know why, but it takes me back to the Dreamwave days, where all pseudo-cool stuff available was used everywhere, with no regrets. President Funana would have loved Trans4mers, just saying.

I'm hoping Trans4mers is just temporary
jacranky
Okay, so we have the same director, same writers and now the same composer for the score? How is this going to be a reboot?

Good news – a bit of musical consistency is good, and his scores are excellent. For the love of God, though, people have got to stop referring to the new film as 'Trans4mers' or some dimwit marketing guru is going to decide that is what it really should be called.
Ick.

I drive an 8yr old car..yeah, it has a 6 CD changer..and it's all TF scores and soundtracks..so I'm rockin' it old school for a while longer.

I like this.

I'd rather back my own bollocks in a boxing match against Muhammed Ali
It'll be there, stinking up the end credits. Honestly the only good that ever came out of any of their songs being there for me was when Steve sampled a bit of 'New Divide' to help make the track 'NEST' which is fucking awesome.

Hey, at least you got that far. He never even returns my calls.
spiritprime
Yes! I love his music!

This is great news

Awesome! I loved his scores for the first 3 movies. They were one of the best parts of the series.

Glad to have him back. Many of the music pieces defined moments in the film more than the visuals.
Arrival to Earth was perfect. It captured the feel of larger than life heroes arriving to save the day.
The battle music is great too. I love Forest Battle for making Optimus' lone stand even more epic. Battle from DotM is great too, really made me love the Dreads chase even more.
Shizuka
I hate the guy, he keeps turning down my marriage proposals. I just love his music so much!
Tomiku
This is the best news I've heard about TF4 yet. Not even the lack of Shia LeButt made me this pleased.
NOW GIVE THE ORCHESTRAL SCORES A STANDARD CD RELEASE, instead of this "inspired by" "soundtrack" crap taking priority. I wasn't able to find physical versions of ANY of the first three movie scores.
…though speaking of TF movie music staples, anyone wanna take bets on a new Linkin Park single for the film?
