Out of the cartoons and Movies. Personally, it's Beast Machines all the way, followed by G1. Prime's soundtrack sounded too much like a ripoff of Star Trek 2009's main theme, and it wasn't very imposing.
As much as I love RID2015, they have the worst OST.

 

I wish the poll was multiple choice cuz I really like Cybertron and the Movies' scores.

 

Movieverse

 

Cybertron I guess, because I still have some of those tunes they would play stuck in my head. Though the movies have a pretty good score too. Beast Wars was good too.


G1 was pretty basic and boaring though.

 

Movie, the Autobots reuniting in AOE was made only better because of that haunting score. Arrival to Earth is also amazing to listen to, in fact, there's to many to name its just great all of it.

 

Cybertron's score was magnificent.

 

There is no option for the 1986 movie score. That is a problem.

Still, out of the series I'd have to pick the Unicron trilogy. For all its flaws all of them had really good soundtracks.

 

is G1 includes the cheezy japanese shows and movie soundtrack it wins by a mile.

 

Agreed. The Vince DiCola soundtrack only appears in the movie and sporadically in FFoD. If that option existed, I'd vote for that as it embodies everything I think of for Transformers.

I voted Prime but that's somewhat a default as it's newer and fresher than the rest of the series listed. But it still lacks.

I'd love to see Transformers get a proper "anime" treatment where major money is spent to make the series standout. Soundtracks to cartoons like Genesis of Aquarion or Attack on Titan are outstanding and show effort and money were poured into them. I know Western culture doesn't use the same application to their cartoons...but it's something I'd like to see changed one day.

 

Either BW, Cybertron or the Movies.

 

I feel like no one else likes the Animated OST...

 

 

For me it's almost a tie between the movies and Prime.... the movies win out since they have more soundtracks/scores to offer....but I still love the Prime soundtrack/score.

 

Beast Wars.

A lot of heavy emotions.

G1 is up there for me, as well as the 86 movie, but it was mostly fun and narrative. But Beast Wars did more.

 

I'd say the movies, at least the first one, that Autobot theme was just epic in tone. It's a real shame it wasn't used more in the sequels.

 

The movies, easily. Steve Jablonsky's scores are epic and easily the best part of the films.

 

I'm not answering this poll, but I'll say that the series with memorable music are G1, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and Bayformers. I remember the Prime jingle, but absolutely nothing else, so I don't include that. I haven't seen any of the Japanese transformers shows.

 

I don't remember like any of the TFA scores outside of maybe like one.

Prime's scores were pretty forgettable too.

 

Hero's Welcome from TFA is just great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMpZ4GmeJZ8

My biggest gripe with Prime's soundtrack was that almost all the tracks sounded identical. Which didn't help the fact that every action scene in Prime looked exactly the same.

 

Beast Wars with their over the top guitar riffs, especially in Season 1 are the most memorable for me. They are also the most distinct in the fact that if I hear them, I immediately think about Beast Wars.

The movies, for all their faults, did have great scores and are probably better overall, but they also feel like they could belong in any other big budget blockbuster.

 

G1. I was thinking the other day that for all of their recycling of characters and designs, they should re-purpose/reuse some of the music from the original series.
