- This is the soundtrack of Transformers:The Movie in 1986.The soundtrack of this film was composed and produced by Vince DiCola.
This song is performed by Stan Bush and Vince DiCola.
*Bonus Tracks
The producers of Transformers The Movie first approached me in the early 1986.They were familiar with some of my prvious film scores and felt my composing style would be effective for their new Transformers animated film.Up until that point,I had very little knowledge of Transformers,other than being vaguely aware of the toy line.I was honored by their enthusiasm for my music and accepted their offer to score the movie.
From the beginning,I found this to be a very challenging project.The first surprise was realizing that about 75 minutes worth of music would be required.This amount of music is not particularly uncommon for a full lenght animated film,but was certainly more than I had ever been asked to produce for one movie.Another surprise nearly threw me into a panic mode.I was told that I would be writing most of the music not to picture,as is usually the case,but to ''storyboards'',which is far from the norm.I traded in my initial shock for more of a can-do attitude and told the director and producers,''Oh sure,no problem at all...I can do that!''
Thanks to the help of a great team of people,including fellow producer Ed Frugé,engineer Tony Papa and all the great musicians who played on the soundtrack,I was able to create a score that I continue to be proud of and one that I believe holds up quite well even after all these years.One of the more pleasant aspects of this project was the evident trhst that the producers and director had in my ability.This allowed me the freedom to write,play and produce music without their constant oversight.
I assumed that when the score was finished and the film released,my involvement with Transformers had come to an end.But,a few years later,I was approached by Glen Hallit,the executive producer of the Transformers convention known as ''BotCon'',who asked me to appear as a special guest at the convention in Rochester,NY the following year.I had a hard time believing that there was much interest left in Transformers.Just out of curiosity,I accepted the invitation.When I arrived,I was totally amazed that,even years after the movie release,Transformers was still so popular that it attracted thousands of fans to this convention!Glen had another revelation for me.Not only was there a tremendous amount of interest in the Transformers franchise in general,but there was still a huge amount of interest in the 1986 movie,and more specifically,my score!I had never performed for such an enthusiastic audience.Because of that first experience,I have appeared at several more Transformers conventions over the years,but that first on in 1997 really holds a special place in my heart.It is so gratifying to see that my contribution to Transformers The Movie has continued to hold such value for so many fans,for so long.
I'm very pleased that SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT has asked me to be involved in this reissue of the original soundtrack.I'm also quite honored that four new pieces of music from my original score are being added as bonus tracks.
Special thanks goes to Glen Hallit for years of service to the wonderful legion of Transformers fans and for keeping the culture alive.And a very special personal thanks to all my fans for your continued support and encouragement.This has been quite a ride!
Vince DiCola(April,2007)
If you listen closely you can hear the other songs and themes from the soundtrack in there, it works kinda like an overture!
You're right! I hear some essence of the "Autobot/Decepticon Battle" from the movie! And it works pretty well!
Hey. Maybe it can be the overture of a Broadway musical!
@@benjaminfischer3229 "Transformers: Song of Cybertron", a new musical coming soon to Broadway.
1:18 you are right I hear it
Thanks for the tip 1:49
Vince Dicola is the definitive soundtrack of Transformers imo.
Steve Jablonsky and Brian Tyler for me personally, but DiCola is a very close 3rd Place. Honesty all 3 of them are pretty much tied for 1st.
This is one of the most 80s things I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
It literally has everything that you would list as an 80s chliche. Amazing.
When the music's so good that you turn into a transformer yourself for a second
Yup i can confirm
You were a robot in disguise as a human all along
We were all Pretenders the whole time!!!
AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT 💪✊🛡⭐💫👑
@@JayKhwaja till all are One...
Fun fact: the beat that you hear for a little at 0:10, you can actually hear this in the end credits song for “Transformers Devastation”
That freaking ROBOTS IN DISGUISE voice. Always awesome.
@Jeremy Grandison how it came out in 1986 It was the first transformers movie then the next movie came out a bit afterwards
Yeah!
The only acceptable use of auto-tune!
Tom C auto tune is acceptable in 95% of cases as it generally makes voices sound better
I bet the non robot voice in this song is auto tuned aswell lol
@@fortnitesexmanIt only makes vocals sound better if the vocalist is mediocre to begin with. And no, most of this track isn't auto-tuned. Auto tuning vocals did not become common practice until the late 90s/early 2000s. Before 1998-1999 it was extremely rare.
Announcer: “And now, it’s here in theaters everywhere; Transformers: The Movie!”
Megatron: “It’s over, Prime!”
Announcer: “Does Prime die? Transformers: The Movie! Rated PG! Now playing everywhere! Don’t miss it!”
My answer to the "Does Prime die?" question is "Sadly yes."
actually it was G, not PG like you think
@@lifegorramsucks9371 no it’s pg
@@dankmemes4744 then it wouldnt have had the swearing back then, dumbass
@@aricgill1290 Well he died like Jesus died... they both came back... and they are both fictional characters
That moment you realize all of this movies music was amazing.
Rocky and the transformers meet would be an amazing 80’s crossover
Vince Dicola worked on both soundtracks for both movies.
@@sonicloud7774 I know so it would be a cool crossover
@@lordbrickmasterproductions3531 definitely.
Rock em sock em robots 🤖
I am happy with how the intro song turned out for the movie, but this is dope as hell.
Facts bro especially this part 2:15
Gotta love the music from the 80s films.
To this day the movie had the best soundtrack of any transformers property.
Only through the wisdom of the Primes will I ever figure out what this is doing in a hip hop playlist.
What? Hip hop?? Are you lost!
heh, probably playing it off someone's playlist...
Yeah, that's probably it.
And that guy who made the playlist was either too lazy to create a separate playlist or thought this was actually hip hop...........
Yeah, He was probably too lazy...
I can see Rocky Balboa training to this to take on Megatron.
Now I wanna see Sylvester Stallone do the voice of Ultra Magnus.
Jonathan Szuhai Yo Arcee, we did it!
If Adrian voiced Arcee.
If He's the voice of Rodimus Prime.
Samson Whitemoon well it was the same composer from Rocky 4, Vince Dicola :)
TRANSFORMAS!!! MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!!!
AUTOBOTS WAGE THEIR BATTLE TO DESTROY THE EVIL FORCES OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFF! THE DECEPTICONS! YEA!!
TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN DISGUISE
TRANSFORMERS
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEE
I didn't hear this version of the TF theme until recently when I bought the 20th Anniversary Soundtrack Album. I'm not sure how old it is, seeing as it was never used anywhere in the movie. But if its about the same age as the soundtrack itself, then all I have to say is this alternate theme really kicks ass. It's really nice to listen to. But in fact, this soundtrack was always worth listening two.
So nobody knows this song actually existed until it was released for the Transforners' 20th Anniversary Soundtrack Album?
1:23
This part is so good. ♥♥♥
The only thing that would make this more 80s is if it were snorting crack off of Ronald Reagan’s photo.
You took that from Brandon Tenold’s video review, I reckon
John Caulfield who?
Brandon Tenold. He’s a TH-cam movie reviewer who usually focuses on old cheesy B-movies, but also does some animated films. He did a video for Transformers: The Movie. In it, during the opening credits and theme, he made literally the exact same comment as you did
John Caulfield holy crap it does say that! Plus something about leg warmers
@@DrachronianDefender Its legwarmers snorting crack off a photo of Ronald Reagan
I'll never forget someone using this (abridged) for a fan-made intro to both the 3rd season of the G1 cartoon and his imagining of an actual 5th season and posting them here on TH-cam. Freakin' awesome. ;)
THATS WHERE I REMEMBERED THISX That was years ago lmao
got a link to that?
sounds badass
@@amateursand Ditto! Please send the link if it’s still on TH-cam.

Here's the intro, but I don't know how to find the rest
I WANT THIS AS MY RINGTONE really bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this should be the opening theme for the new movie
I apologize, this does not appear. You could always watch 2018's Bumblebee
I can’t get enough of this song!!!! I’m like 8 again …this never gets old … I’m 43 & it still gives me great memories
00:37
Thank you, Barney Stinson. You managed to unite Brokind with a single song.
My god this is beautiful. I love how it adds the original cartoon theme in the background even tho I LOVE the lion version. I would’ve loved to see this in the movie
I was just looking around Apple Music and I found this. Said I couldn’t listen to it in my country/area and I said “we’ll see about that.” And here we are. Breaking the law in the name of music. It was worth it :)
The animation was done by TOEI which also did the animation for Inhumanoids, G.I. Joe, Jem, and other Hasbro shows in the 1980's. But also a South Korean studio did some of the animation for Transformers and other Hasbro shows so no it isn't an anime.
There were some sequel anime, like Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, and Zone.
i was so happy when optimus came back to life in the series, still gotta love rodimus prime THAT TRUCK WAS AMAZING
Yeah I grew up with The Transformers and was pretty obsessed. I think this was just a bonus track for the soundtrack. I love the Lion version. That version is probably why I like metal so much :P Vince DiCola really did mastermind this soundtrack too. Awesome times :D
Seeing as the next Splatfest IS Autobots vs. Decepticons, this won't be playing, but blare it!
It would be awesome to see a g.i joe and/or Jem the holograms splatfest. I'd be down for that kind of splatfest. I really love all these 80's stuff

Vince is pure genious and this one is a masterpiece.
The Transformers!!!!
@Jeremy Grandison Transformers!
@Screaming Soldier the Transformeeeeeers!!
2:16 is so much yes
I love that amazing scene where Optimus is training for his fight, runs to the top of the mountain and screams "MEGATROOOOOON!"
Wait....
I remember finding this song once when I was 18 and thinking how amazing it was and not knowing where it was from.
14 years later I finally found it.
It's just as amazing
new movies need soundtracks like this
Best theme ever :)
Especially my favorite part of it 0:53 2:18
I listened to this song on my ipod while watching the action sequences from the live action movies in theatres. It fits perfectly.
A classic get psyched song
Upset they removed this version from streaming.. I adore this rendition.
bro code = best book i've ever purchased
Whenever I think of the concept of transformers, this song plays
Rocky's alternative training montage theme. Lol. You cant miss DiCola's music.
more than meets the eye..
Always Vince DiCola.... damm, this guy is amazing!
Unicron disliked this 28 times
Saber Wolves he has since disliked it more so its 51 times
I gotta tell ya, Unicron's a total Jerk sometimes. But hey, he's quite intimidating.
I Now Saber Wolves
Lol
It’s 59 times now
LONG LIVE THE TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!
Love the different themes that come and go all through out the soundtrack. Vince Dicola is a master.
I have always loved, I love and I will always love Vince DiCola's way to do music.
This song is awesome. Everything from Vince's mind is awesome. I would like he had a longer career.
Til' all are one
This is why the Michael Bay ones were never as good ;p
Also bad writing, directing, the transformers having little to no character, and overly brutal violence. But this too
It’s Ya Boi
Don’t forget the fact that they all look the same and it’s hard to tell them apart. Especially since both are attacking people 99% of the time...
Eh true. Only good one was the first one, and even then I think I’m the only one who likes it.
Still, at least the soundtracks for all of them were pretty dope.
It's more than just this but yeah!
Ninja why? You didn't give a reason.
I for some reason, prefer this theme song more than the original one.
Vince had no reason to go THIS HARD on a soundtrack but he did
Change the speed to 1.25! Sounds amazing!
+Lego Transformers Showcase Thanks; good call!
isee i you say this on every music vid
Mattimus Productions I tried that and it's amazing
I AGREE ABSOLUTLY
Zeekaprime 3000 lol, probably true.
am i the only one who likes this a bit more than the original theme made for this movie
edit; it makes sense why it’s better because it was performed by stan bush
This AWESOME song should have been use for the ending credits of the movie.
More than meets the eye is always there
This music gives me futuristic vibes
@2:06 - An appropriate level of excitement for first-gen Transformers. 🙂
While I still prefer the version by Lion, I love this version too.
Really?It's a good theme tune, eventhough I prefer Lion's theme better. Their theme really gave more steam power to the Transformer's movie and even it's slogan " The most incredible rock n roll adventure ever!" as it quotes in the 1986 trailer and on one or two of the promotional cinema posters. I love this film. It's a big reminder of how life was in the 80's...hard, simple, but also a happy time.
According to his wiki he co-produced the Staying Alive soundtrack with Frank Stallone. I haven't seen that one in a long time so I don't remember much.
My all-time favourite version of the theme!!!
Idk man, this slaps harder than my fathers belt. I don’t know who did it better, dicola or lion.
I vote DiCola since I always think Lion's TF theme was overhyped lol.
Is this what the 80 where like
I dont know why. But somehow I fuck with this heavily.
80's is the era of rock, love all track in the movie
Weird. Some of this version found its way into the score but I had no idea it was ever a version of the theme.
this one is really good it's the stan bush and vince dicola version :)
psyched!
Article 122 - A bro is always psyched. Always.
0:38 pretty bold of them to have the song peak not even a minute in
There was no crap in the 80s and the transformers back then were one of the most epic things to hit the screen ever
1:22 that felt like my child hood
This is one of my favorite renditions of the Transformers theme song.
2:16 shivers.
I suddenly have the urge of going outside and run as fast as i can
Simply spectacular.
I think this would be an awesome theme song for Transformers Prime. In fact, this would make an awesome tribute video to that show.
this song is literally legen, wait for it... DARY!
Thank you for the song
YEAH, featuring the Transformers theme
I heard part of this theme during part of the tv sot trailer when they showed commercials for the toys back in 1986.
Article 122, we praise you.
🙂This always gives me the good vibes.
The shortened version of this was used in the Finnish fandub made by Dubbessiivit in which I did the voice of Grimlock.
Oh yeah, he did actually. I have the album on CD. The film was good too if not great. But the soundtrack to "Staying Alive" has some kick-ass tunes.
Yes indeed!
Glad I still have my physical copy cd
just got the bro code...the first thing do is ofc to make a "get psyched playlist"
I actually think most of this version is better than the main one (performed by Lion), except for that "YEAHH" - it just cracks me up every time and it ruins the whole feel for me.
Awesome, just as awesome as lion's version!
Amazing, why didn't they use this?
this was made much over 2 afters
Ahhhh the classics finally
Theme so fire im about to fight the decepticons
Is it weird that i like this version better than the final version
thank you bro ! *high five*
I believe this was used on one of the comercials that was promoting the movie back in those times
brings back good musicback then
Catchy
