If someone can clarify where they were from, that would be great...
I posted this in another forum: ...what you hear on the score CD are the themes as they were ORIGINALLY composed in their entirety all those months ago (with a few extra chorals and stuff added to the remix). These themes were then cut from their ORIGINAL FORMS into bits and fit into the movie at the spots where they fit the story line (so actually it is the film itself that uses "different versions" if you are thinking technically). For example, if you listen to the Bumblebee theme on the score CD, the first half is the part where BB sends his message out into space to call the autobots to earth, and the second half is when he is at Sector 7 shrinking the Allspark to travel size. Both parts are significant to his role in the movie and hence they carry parts of the Bumblebee theme with them. Just about all of the major themes come from what is here on the CD and what has not been included here I will just bet will be on the 2-disc "complete works" CD when/if it comes out.
Yes, the promo CD has 52 tracks on it arranged in the order "like it is in the movie", BUT some of those tracks are only 20 seconds long or so, so the promo CD is still a chop-job of the originally composed themes. Steve J. wouldn't have composed a 20-second piece of music all by itself just to put in "that spot".
I think (correct me someone if I am wrong), you can hear parts of the following themes in:
The All Spark -- Sector 7 and elsewhere throughout the film
Frenzy -- I think when Frenzy is hacking the computers on AF1 and at Sector 7
Optimus -- When Optimus is speaking at the observatory about the rights of all sentient beings, etc.
Bumblebee -- see above paragraph
Witwicky -- the backyard scene at the Witwicky home
