Notes
- Tracks 1-5, 7, and 14 do not appear in the film, but instead are suites of themes used throughout the movie.
- The tracks used in the film are also slightly out of order, with "Trespaxxing" appearing at the very beginning and "Hidden Truth" appearing right after "The Ultimate Betrayal."
- A section of the film's main theme soundtrack for this film repurposes a secondary theme from the Transformers Prime score. Fittingly, it is used to represent the Thirteen Primes in this film, with its first appearance occurring at 3:54 into the main theme suite. It later appears in "More Than Meets The Eye," "Resting Place of the Primes," and "The Fall".
- "The Fall" interpolates Dies irae ("Day of Wrath" in Latin), an oft-quoted four-note passage from the Catholic Requiem Mass, which is commonly used to represent death or tragedy in film scores. As such, this means it very strongly resembles "Death of Optimus Prime" from The Transformers: The Movie. Quite the appropriate easter egg.
