Let us take a break from BotCon 2016 news. As we speak, pre-production for Transformers 5 Live Action Movie by Michael Bay is taking place. The latest news to come out of it is that American electronic music group Major Lazer is joining the movie for the Soundtrack.
Diplo; one of the producers of the group posted the following on Instagram:
“Big meeting about transformers 6 transformers vs major lazer @michaelbay #michealbae at Komodo in miami there u go @davegrutman”
Currently, we do not know whether Major Lazer has replaced Imagine Dragons as the main band for Transformers 5. For those who do not know, Major Lazer consists of Diplo, Jillionaire and Walshy Fire. Their music spans numerous music styles, mixing EDM with reggae, dancehall, electronic, reggaeton, house, and moombahton genres. One of their recent hits include “Lean On” featuring DJ Snake and MØ.
“Transformers 6” may very well be a typo, but is it?

Steve Jablonsky scored AOE as well. The score is made from both him and Imagine Dragons working together (including some Skrillex).
Thus I believe Steve will also be there in TLK.

'foundry save' is one of my favorite little moments in the films when optimus comes crashing down through the roof & bee busts through the wall & has a brief gunbattle with starscream…great scene & gunplay

Steve Jablonsky better score this!
I hope Steve Jablonsky will be scoring Transformers 5. I didn't care much for Imagine Dragons.

Well if people notice, New Divide was the only song out of their 3 contributions which was original from my understanding. Soundtracks that incorporate the "main" theme often sound better for being more intense and using musical arrangements suited to songs with lyrics in my opinion.

OMFG, man…a Transformers movie with a Trent Reznor score would be just about the greatest thing ever.
I'd fucking LOVE to hear a collaboration between Reznor and Jablonsky, too. Guh. The mind reels!

The New Divide score piece was pretty good IMO.

Dunno about you, but I'm genuinely creped out by Bay's rape face.

Now you're just making me wish Trent Reznor would just do the TF5 soundtrack! Just imagine the depth he would give a dark dead Cybertron, or a fucked up quint planet!

Oh God. Major lazer sucks. We call that kind of music funfair music.

The orchestral "New Divide" cues are awesome! "Foundry Save" is on my work out play list and "NEST" is among the best in the series.
