    I'm surprised that he hadn't met with Bay in a while.

    Either way i can't wait to see what Steve plans to come up with.

    My hope is that we can get an orchestrated version of the 80's cartoon theme somewhere. Been waiting 3 movies for it and still nothing on that...

    Arrival of the Autobots is good everything else is Just "OK" The Transformers score reminds me of Man of steel in that regard it's got a good score but it's also lacking much in the way of stand out stuff too.

    A good score can make a movie even a awful piece of garbage like Pacific Rim is raised up quite a bit by having a good score.


    I was pretty underwhelmed by the score for DOTM - probably the best bit is he instrumental pop song bit.
    I think he needs to try to sound a bit like every oter videogame score he;s ever done to make each project stand alone - John Williams might be very generic too but at least most of his stuff it's obvious which music goes in which movie (baring Superman sounding a bit like Indian Jones and Princess Leia's theme being in Home Alone that is). but it's what Steve needs to aim for more often that and not sounding exactly like his boss and his immediate colleagues so much.

    --------

    I agree something a teeny bit like this would be nice :



    Oh and the Transformers Prime score is far far superior as it's got several stand out tracks not just one over 3 movies.

    I'm so glad he's back to do AOE. I heard "Arrival to Earth" and just totally fell in love with his music.

    "Even Hans Zimmer had said to me one day.."

    If you're talking to Hans Zimmer enough where you can say this line above.. you've probably made it.

    I hope the music in the next movie is epic. The score where Optimus fought in the forest is one of my favorites.
