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.

Notes

• In a first for the franchise, "The Maximals" was released to music streaming apps as a single on June 2, a week before both the film and the album.
• Kris Diaz's name is erroneously spelt as "Chris" on the album.
• Bontemps reportedly recorded a ten-minute demo with a forty-piece orchestra on his own dime in 2021 in hopes of landing the job!
• During the recording of the score, Bontemps revealed on his Instagram account that his mentor Steve Jablonsky would be returning to the franchise in some way. It was later revealed that Jablonsky had assisted in writing some cues for the film, receiving three track credits in addition to an overall producer credit in the movie proper.
