Soundtrack.net has a series of pictures that covers some of the recording of the score for Transformers. The composer is Steve Jablonsky. From the article, "There are six major themes within the score, which runs approximately 90-minutes in length. While the classic "Transfomers" theme song doesn't figure into the score (as of this writing, at least), Jablonsky indicated that he did work on a new version of it, which could possibly appear over the end credits or on the song soundtrack album. The thematic motif heard in the original teaser music from last fall (which Jablonsky scored) is also woven into the score. The recently released theatrical trailer does feature original music written by Jablonsky, but intentionally has no relation to the score for the film. Additionally, Jablonsky wrote the music for the upcoming computer game tie-in, which will be released by Activision on June 19th."
Stinks about the original theme being confirmed as no longer in play. I am betting its because of the lawsuit between the original composer over royalties. Why pay her to use it if can just create a new one? Ironically if had waited to file until after the movie, would have had more money coming to her.
The soundtrack album will be out June 26th and apparently there are plans to possibly release a score album. The difference is one is some of the score (generally open and ending music) and then lots of (usually) pop music that played in the film. The score is like the title, its the instrumental music that played in the background of the film. Rarely vocals and more for the die hard fan who just like that music. Similar to say the score albums for Glory, Braveheart and Titantic.
