Plenty of synthesizers and familiar themes, this pretty much continues where Rocky IV left, and is a great soundtrack on its own.
This is a highly recommended release for any 80s or Synthesizer soundtrack collector.

Original soundtrack from initial big-screen animated treatment of The Transformers,
numerous iconic battling robot characters spawned from Hasbro
television mini-series that became wildly popular in subsequent
syndication. Cars, trucks, toy dinosaurs, you name it became behemoths
of warring destruction. Vince DiCola, fresh off dynamic score for Rocky IV, brings sizzling modern up-tempo sensibilities to his electronic score for Transformers,
melds driving energy with striking fully-composed quasi-orchestral
themes, motifs. Exciting compositions result, with plethora of rhythms
infused with composer's unique harmonic vernacular on display.
DiCola,
who gets start as session keyboardist, then moves into scoring with Staying Alive, sequel toSaturday Night Fever, connects well with with director Sylvester Stallone, lands mega-hit Rocky IV
and captures attention of TV producers transforming Hasbro's
small-screen robots into big-screen monoliths. Intrada CD presents first
widely available release of score, courtesy Sony Music, first available
as very limited "BotCon" editions in 1997 & 2001. Newly assembled
and mastered from two-track digital masters, Intrada CD also features
composer's "Legacy", originally written as six-minute powerhouse demo
for producers during early stages of project. Intrada Special Collection
release available while quantities and interest remain!
