Transformers has a crazy history with its score! Can people definitively confirm at the very least that the franchise’s 3 main themes ( Arrival to Earth, Autobots and Optimus) are Steve Jablonsly’s themes?
Clay Duncan is responsible for Signal Analysis, Data Copy, etc
Probably All Spark v2 (with Steve)
His trademarks are all over it
TJ Lindgren could be responsible for “Tow Truck Charge”…. Tensaction maybe…
Trevor Morris – Nokia Bot
Lorne’s name should be also on Scorponok
Since it’s his theme, and in Revenge of the fallen he is credited for reuse of it
I’d say, knowing RCP policy, cues like “4m58A Sector 7” and “5m59 Criminals Are Hot” could have just Lorne Balfe & Clau Duncan credit
Since those has barely to do with any themes, and it doesn’t sound like Steve to me…

Stephane, do you know why suites have such strange names- Journey, Heroic? I’m especially interested in Creeper. Why Creeper? Theme is not that creepy, really…
Album titles make much more sense (Autobots, Bumblebee, etx…)
Is this sort of inside joke?
BTW Optimus theme is not really for Optimus, it appeared more times when Bee was on screen..
Update on the “mismatched titles” theory: starting to think “Tensaction” is actually “Invasion” and “Invasion” (the trailer music) is actually “Tensaction”. The titles just…fit. Doesn’t help that “Tensaction” vaguely sounds like Danny Elfman’s Mars Attacks theme.
It might still be nonsense, but it’s just guesswork.
Another addition to the Mislabeled Suites hypothesis: MAYBE “Journey” is the name of the suite that became “Arrival to Earth” and “AllSpark v7” is OST “Bumblebee”, which makes “AllSpark 2” make a bit more sense if it’s based on the same thematic material.
