Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (Music from the Motion Picture) is an album featuring the original instrumental music composed by Jongnic Bontemps for the Bumblebee sequel Rise of the Beasts. The album covers just over an hour of the film's score, and features the return of franchise composer Steve Jablonsky in both writing and production capacities. Additionally, Vince DiCola's theme for Unicron is featured in both the film and album, marking the first time a live-action Transformers score has referenced material from the animated movie.

Expanded Edition

[edit]
They missed a real golden opportunity for a deep cut.

Quietly listed at the beginning of November, Music On Vinyl announced an expanded edition of the score album that released on December 15, 2023, limited to 500 copies worldwide. Also included is a four-page booklet containing liner notes from director Steven Caple Jr., Paramount Music exec Randy Spendlove, and the composer himself, plus musician and technical credits. This release is pressed on opaque dark green vinyl and each copy is individually numbered on the rear cover's bottom left corner. Another 500-piece run was announced for April 2024, this time on red and purple; album contents remain the same.

Aside from being the first Transformers score on vinyl since the animated movie, five new cues were added to the album program, adding an additional thirteen minutes to the runtime. These tracks are currently vinyl-exclusive.

27. Calling All Autobots (0:56) — Optimus Prime sees the Transwarp Key has been activated and pages Bumblebee, Arcee, and Mirage (plus a very startled Noah).
28. Airazor (2:45) — After escaping Ellis Island, Airazor formally introduces herself and tells her tale to the Autobots.
29. The Silos<ref name="Unicron"/> (4:12) — Nightbird and Battletrap watch Scourge get tortured by Unicron after acquiring only one half of the key.
30. Finding the Hatch (2:06) — Noah & Elena venture into Cusco to find the hidden temple in search of the key's other half.
31. Meet the Maximals (3:15) — Optimus Primal, Cheetor, and Rhinox intercept Noah, Elena and the Autobots as tensions rise... until Airazor calms everyone down and explains the situation.
