The soundtrack was released in Japan around the same time as the film was released there on Laserdisc. (Probably some time around 1989.) Since I do not have a copy of this version I cannot confirm it. Please contact the webmaster if you have additional information about this release.

The rest of the musical score (including the ominous "Unicron's Theme") by Vince DiCola was originally released in 1997 as a two-CD set. Entitled "Til All Are One," these CD's contain all of the music that is in the movie that is NOT on the soundtrack, with an additonal disc entitled "Call To Action" which contains additional previously released and non-released Stan Bush anthems and "action themes". The musical score disc also contains a different version of the Transformers theme song performed by Stan Bush, as well as an unused piece entitled "Legacy" that DiCola composed as a demonstration to the producers.
The full-color cover artwork was drawn by legendary TF comic artist Andrew Wildman, with help from Glen Hallit.
This set was released for the Botcon 1997 convention for limited release only and has been discontinued. Good luck finding this set on Ebay.

The entire musical score by Vince DiCola (including the tracks previously omitted from the "Til All Are One" set that were on the original soundtrack) was re-released in its entirety on a CD entitled "Lighting Their Darkest Hour". This disc, released in limited numbers at Botcon 2001, has been discontinued but can more easily be found than the original 2-disc set. It features a modified version of the original artwork by Wildman and Hallit, with a Beast Wars-style Matrix/Spark Chamber courtesy of Mainframe Entertainment. The order of the tracks (and some of the track names themselves) have been altered slightly to match the order of the scenes from the final film.
Missing from this set is the "Legacy" track and all the songs (with vocals) not by DiCola on the soundtrack. It does, however, include the piece "Attack on the Shuttle" which was later replaced by N.R.G.'s "Instruments of Destruction" in the film.

2. Main Title 19. Pursuit
