The 40th anniversary year is in full swing (how is it May ALREADY though), and what better way to swing than to music?
The Transformers franchise has through the years become indelibly associated with memorable, iconic music, from Steve Jablonsky to The Brown Hornet to Hailee Steinfeld to Robert Buckley — and any good anniversary celebration has to include some sweet tunes.
This year, Hasbro rolls out multiple eras of music: a rerelease of the 2019 Generation 1 tracks by composer Rob Walsh, updated with bonus tracks and prepped for a digital release for the first time ever.
However, even bigger news is that the Beast Era gets some soundtrack release love! Never before officially released, the Beast Machines soundtrack by Robert Buckley is already streaming wherever you get your music — and from June 28th, digital streaming will also be how you finally get to listen to 14 tracks from Robert Buckley’s Beast Wars soundtrack! Finally, as a complement to all the sonic goodness, JLab is collaborating with Hasbro to release a special 40th Anniversary edition collection that includes JLab’s new JBuds Lux ANC Headphones.
