First movie, Arrival To Earth, Scorponok, and Optimus. It also had the menacing "Decepticons" theme, why they dropped that in later movies I'll never know.

I'm torn. Because all three films have that section of 'You're a Soldier Now'.

Two cues from "I'm A Soldier Now" in the sequels.

Yeah, that ridiculously heroic fanfare is one of my favorite parts of the score. I think DOTM has the best versions, though, since it has two: The full version plays when Optimus kills the Driller, and the shortened version (similar to the one in ROTF) plays during a part when human soldiers are charging.

Actually, the Decepticon theme was used a bit in ROTF, mainly when the Constructicons and the Doctor resurrect Megatron. Search for the complete score on YouTube. That specific track is called "Diving for Megatron".

DOTM.

Overall it was the best score of the three. The intensity and sound of each song was unreal. I especially loved "It's Our Fight".

2007 movie, hands down. "Arrival to Earth" alone could make it so. DotM is decent, but it's lacking in a lot of ways too. Plus, I hate how they abandoned the staccato Latin chanting theme for the Decepticons after the first 20 minutes of RotF. That theme was unique and awesome. Why would you get rid of it?

Side Note: If you haven't heard the expanded score for the first movie, do it now. "Are You Ladiesman 217" is another song which makes it for me.

Plus, two things I'm not happy with on DotM is that pretty much every track (at least of the initial release; haven't listened much to the expanded score yet) use the same underlying rhythm as that track "Battle." It's cool for a movie like Signs, where the entire movie hinges on it, but in an action movie like Transformers, it comes off as lazy composing. Another quaff I have is how shamelessly Jablonsky ripped off "Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey in "It's Our Fight."

Good catch. For the most part it was abandoned it seems. But the ROTF extended score is quickly notching its way up with me, with so many extras that weren't in the movie.
