But it looks like Hasbro also released the film score under the Legacy Label - you can see a copy of that release here. They could be doing it on that label.
I love the Vince DiCola "Transformers" album even though I never cared for the Transfomers, still don't. It has stunning sections. I bought the "He-man" CD-set because I have intensely good and very special memories and feelings associated with He-man. The album is a big disappointment. The music sounds more like a "concept quicky". I never cared for GI Joe and Shuki Levi's shouty hair metal sound so I can do without.
"Revenge of the Ninja" is a soundtrack I thought I really had to have. Then I found the full soundtrack on youtube, and that cured the desire quickly, though I still like that film and am glad I got the DVD. Only two or three tracks are good the rest is background noise.
A downer? Raining on your parade? Why post if I don't have anything positive to say? Normally I refrain from posting just to say I am not interested but in this case it's more a case of venting disillusion. It feels I expected too much even though I am sure I hadn't had my hopes set at all since I didn't know what to expect. That said, if it comes through, I am pleased on behalf of those who truly get what they do expect and I sincerely wish it makes good money for whoever is going to produce it and stimulates them to keep going. Who knows it will result in another Vince DiCola-like stunner of which I too did not know to expect only to be completely rushed off my feet.

I also love DiCola's Transformers but when it comes to animation scores it's in a league of its own; he did this for a motion picture release of Transformers the movie. He had more time and resources as opposed to the smaller sounding television animation scores that build up their library tracks with small ensemble of players and usually resort to cheap synths to fill in the later seasons. I think there's still lots of charm and likability in the Robert Walsh scores for Transformers and G.I. Joe as well as the Shuki Levi material for RGB, but I also recognize that for a lot of people this music is just that, episodic cheap television scores. I make no illusions about it, but I still want to hear the music as to me it is as memorable as the bigger movie scores I like. Else it would have faded off my radar a long time ago.
