Transformers: Dark of the Moon — The Score is an album featuring the original instrumental music composed by Steve Jablonsky for the live-action sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The CD of this score was planned for release by Warner Bros. on the same day as Dark of the Moon's rock/pop album, but was delayed as Michael Bay did not have time to give the CD his approval. Jablonsky discussed an August CD release, with a special edition to coincide with the Blu-ray. The digital download version, complete with booklet, was released on iTunes on June 29, 2011. This album contains roughly 59 minutes of the movie's score.

Notes

• Steve Jablonsky had assists with additional music from Tom Gire, Pieter A. Schlosser and Todd Haberman. Similar to the score in Revenge of the Fallen, one of Linkin Park's songs — "Iridescent" — was again interpolated into the score.

• The track "Sentinel Prime" is about three minutes and sixteen seconds long (3:16), which could be a reference to the number "316" on the side of the firetruck used in the film as Sentinel Prime's alt-mode.
