Battle Cry Suite | Transformers: Age of Extinction (Original Soundtrack) by Steve Jablonsky

Wow, Age of Extinction was also some shit huh? Regardless, this was the last Bay Transformers film to have a song made for the movie in the form of Imagine Dragons' Battle Cry. In this suite though is another theme I'm unsure of the identity of, but it's used in tandem with Battle Cry to where they're almost inseparable. It's a five note piano motif played alongside a rushing string ostinato and groovy guitar work. It seems to represent Cade's family and the movie as a whole, for it's a solemn yet hopeful piece of music that I wish was used more in the film because of it's pathos and memorability. But the actual Battle Cry song/theme is usually preceded by a nine note phrase usually sung by the singer Dan Reynolds. The chorus is the only part sung in the score itself, but alongside it is a different rushing string ostinato, this time far more urgent and action-heavy. The theme gets two note orchestral flourishes in the film's more intense sequences, all while being supported by thumping percussion and grinding guitar work. It's not the complex or emotional piece of music in the Transformers franchise, but it gets the job done in terms of being intense action music.

This song was what got me into the transformers franchise as a whole. I had already been a giant Imagine Dragons Nerd at the time and listening to Battle cry got me into all TF stuff.

[@Alliance101]

Not gonna lie this song does slap good

[@JetStream_Mann]

It was the opposite for me, transformers got me into imagine dragons

[@chaosdreamer1069]

That's what's up

[@mikathomo391]

That's a shame

[@PrimeZikraft]

Definitely one of the best theme of this franchise.

[@arturohernandez5857]

This is not a war but ours extinction ☠️☠️☠️

[@ehrensmusic]

With honor to the end

[@ImplantedWheel7]

I love this motif from the score. It's a epic theme through and through, thank you for the music suite...👍

[@Uberdude6666]

I always think its hillarious when the Lincon Park-lyrics kick in for the soundtrack in the actual movie

[@tbnrprimestudios1232]

Honestly imo this was the last good transformers movie, I liked the fact that after Chicago they were being hunted by not just humans but another cybertronian

[@martinkostov7521]

Nice

[@JetStream_Mann]

7:34 when did this play in the movie

[@sam5tue]

When Cade leaves the rooftop elevator shouting “You want me!” To Savoy who is shooting at them. I think the track itself is named as such.

[@86Fallowcp]

Also after Tessa and Shane free Optimus after he got stabbed against a wall

[@Gabofox07]

Am I the only one Than thinks That Battle (TF3) & Battle cry (TF4) Are almost the same

[@MADcreator570]

I think like that too
