Structure awareness and interpretability are two of the most desired properties of music generation algorithms. Structure-aware models generate more natural and coherent music with long-term dependencies, while interpretable models are more friendly for human-computer interaction and co-creation. To achieve these two goals simultaneously, we designed the Transformer Variational AutoEncoder, a. Musically, Reed's work didn't have too much in common with the sonic bombast of the glam scene, but at least it was a place where his eccentricities could find a comfortable home, and on Transformer Bowie and his right-hand man, Mick Ronson, crafted a new sound for Reed that was better fitting (and more commercially astute) than the ambivalent.

Go To

Before we go into the individual entries, we start with the song that was so gloriously awesome that it has become the theme song for the entire franchise: 'The Touch' by Stan Bush.

Transformers

No mention of Transformers music would be complete without 'Arrival to Earth', or any of its variousreprises.
Scorponok's theme.
The two-part 'Decepticons/ Allspark' theme.
Anothyer excellent two parter: 'Sector 7/Bumblebee Captured', both a pulse pounding chase piece and a massive Tear Jerker.

Revenge of the Fallen

'NEST', which is the best rock out to Lock-and-Load Montage song since Halo's 'Blow Me Away'. This theme also manages to sample the theme of the film, 'New Divide', to great effect.
The epic 'Forest Battle' found HERE. What happens when this music is playing is both one of the best moments in the movie AND a BIG Momentof Awesome for Optimus Prime.
'Einstein's Wrong', the main theme for the Seekers.
'The Fallen', the Leitmotif for the eponymous character, stands out for being an extremely creepy and alien combination of measured synthesizer beats and human voices. It shouldn't work, but it does, and the end result is both awesome and a prime example of Hell Is That Noise (and potential Nightmare Fuel).

'Infinite White' and its sister track, 'Tomb of the Primes'. Beautiful...
The two finale tracks, titled 'I Claim Your Sun' and 'I Rise, You Fall', are so utterly epic that they lend a kind of credence to the final battle it wouldn't normally have. Right before that, we have 'Matrix of Leadership', generally considered the album's best track, and for very good reason.
The unreleased completescore is, if anything, more awesome than its predecessor. Some of the best include 'Optimus to the Rescue', 'Orange Smoke', and 'Autobots on the Move' (called 'Roll Out' among the fandom for obvious reasons).

Dark of the Moon

Dark of the Moon adds the unimaginatively-titled yet absolutely epic 'Battle', and the even more epic later-in-the-movie reprise 'It's Our Fight'.
The entire score is incredible. 'Sentinel Prime', 'There Is No Plan', 'I Promise', 'I'm Just the Messenger', 'No Prisoners, Only Trophies' and 'The Fight Will Be Your Own' deserve special mention for being extra awesome or tear-jerkers.
Amongst the complete score, the standout track would have to be the awesome 'Autobots Return'. At 0:45, you know that things just got real.

Age of Extinction

The EP:

The first piece of the movie's music ever released, 'Hunted', certainly qualifies, especially the end, an extended version of the climax of 'Honor to the End'.
'Tessa', the main leitmotif for the humans, was good enough to make it into the trailers.
'Autobots Reunite' is an excellent throwback to 'Arrival to Earth' and the 'Transformers: Prime' theme.
It's easy to see why Lockdown's Leitmotif was chosen as the trailer music. It's an eerie, discordant track that plays as he stalks out of the smoke after incapacitating Optimus Prime.

The Main Album

'Your Creators Want You Back', a reprise of Lockdown's theme which play's during his capture of Optimus. It nails the terror and sadness of those involved perfectly.
'Dinobot Charge' is an amazingTriumphant Reprise of the Decision suite. Six and a half minutes of giant robots riding to the rescue on colossal metal dinosaurs doesn't usually get much much more awesome than it already is, but the inclusion of this track manages just that.
'Honor to the End' plays during the final showdown between Optimus and Lockdown. And it is incredible.
'Leave Planet Earth Alone', which plays during the final scene, is every bit as good.
'His Name is Shane, and He Drives', played when Shane shows up and gets the Three away from Cemetery Wind, and keeps playing during the first chase sequence of the movie.

Animated Film

The soundtrack to the 1986 animated movie is so 80s it hurts.
Here's the HAIRMETAL version of the Transformers theme song, with lyrics more relevant to the movie. And then there's the alternate Vince DiCola version of the theme, which is among Barney Stinson's favorite music picks in the Bro Code!
Nothing's Gonna STAND IN OUR WAY! It's like something right out of a Metal album cover: 'Killer metal sharks hacked to death with a band saw, transforming robot turns into a sports car, fights a giant octopus with lasers and all played out to the backing of some classic 80's hair metal. Is there anyway of packing in any more awesomeness into 2 minutes!?!'
The Unicron Medley is perhaps the polar opposite of the Transformers theme, being slow, sinister and mysterious in contrast to the upbeat, to the point nature of the main theme. And it is AWESOME.
The theme for the battle of Autobot City is pretty good seving in its role as classically 80s action-drama BGM.
NRG's Instruments of Destruction gives the Decepticons some truly badass music to mow down Autobots to. The song's climaxing with a metal scream as Megatron blows Ironhide away is particularly awesome.

The Various Animated Series

The Transformers:
- Every variation of the G1 series opening theme isprettydamnawesome.
- The Japanese theme song Fight! Super Robot Lifeforms Transformers.
Beast Wars:
- 'Theme of Hero,' the quasi-orchestral song that plays during Dinobot's funeral in 'Code of Hero.'
- The Japanese opening themes for Beast Wars Metals:
'Honō no Overdrive ~Car Robot Cybertron~', the opening from Car Robots, kicks off with a sense of urgency by musically mimicking the sound of emergency sirens, and shifts into setting the stage for the series' Hot-BloodedBURNING JUSTICE!!
Transformers Armada: Perhaps the one track that stands out to anyone who have watched the series would be the tragically epic Painful War, which plays during Starscream's last stand. The English theme is a fast-paced, energetic track that immediately gets you pumped for action once you hear it.
Transformers Energon: The musicis sometimespointed toas the series' only consistent saving grace.
Transformers Cybertron had an awesome soundtrack, although the original Japanese version, Galaxy Force, and the US version (which was mostly unchanged, with a few exceptions such as the exclusion of the Japanese vocal songs) have individual fan bases.
- Galaxy Force's opening Call you... Kimi to Boku no Mirai.
- The English theme song qualifies, especially due to Optimus Prime's epic Opening Narration and Introdump, as well as that random dramatic announcer heard in the middle of it.
- 'Our Courage', and the ever Tear Jerker pieces 'A Time to Part' with 'Our Journey Is At An End'.
- The US version inserted 'Our Ally' into a few places where it worked better than the original track, such as Optimus Prime's last clash with Galvatron, which made the mood more heroic than somber.
- The use of 'Fierce Battle! Super Mode' for the final leg of Galvatron vs. Starscream made it feel more dramatic. But both can easily be viewed on YouTube, so take your pick.
- Presenting 'A Great Power'.
- Other Galaxy Force OST favorites include the Stock Footage drivers 'Courageous Theme' and 'Fierce Battle! Super Mode', and the solemn, even mournful 'The Light that Blurs the Temple'.
Transformers Animated:
- This series somehow makes the theme more awesome.
- And then friggin' JAM Project comes along and makes this little number for Animated, 'Transformers EVO.' (TV opening version.)
- And then JAM Project went and made it EVEN MORE EPIC by performing a symphonic version with a live orchestra!
Transformers: Prime:
- Most of the soundtrack, but special mention goes to the theme and 'We Have Returned'. Regarding the theme, there are no words whatsoever, yet they somehow manage to fit all the epicness of the series, no, the ENTIRE TRANSFORMERS MULTIVERSE in one 44 second long song. Even if you don't like the show itself, there's a pretty good chance you'll like the song anyway. And that five-note pattern repeated in the song? It's the godamn classic transformation sound, turned into a song.
- In Japanese Dub, the second opening theme 'Transformerz' by m-flow an Rap/Hip-Hop theme and the third ending song 'Discord' by Tokyo Girls Style.
Transformers: Rescue Bots: This show continues the franchise's long standing record of producing awesome opening music.
Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy: Being marketed to an even younger audience than its predecessor wasn't enough to stop this show from having a solid (and catchy) intro theme.
