Personally I adore the score of the first Bayformers. Like "Optimus" is fucking perfect, it fits just about all versions of the character. Sometimes I watch that movie again just for the score.
Oh definitely- the score has always been a strength of the movies (even if some of the songs are a bit meme-y nowadays... glares at Linkin Park). I think the first time I actually noticed the music was in AOE (probably cause it was the first TF movie I actually saw in a theater) and Jablonsky fucking aced it, especially with Lockdown’s theme.
