Transformers: The Last Knight – Music from the Motion Picture is a soundtrack album for the 2017 film of the same name. The score was written by Steve Jablonsky, who composed the scores for the previous four films in the series.
Various tracks in the score reprise themes from the previous films. that Jablonsky wrote for the previous films. The score also features several suites, including "Purity of Heart" and "Stay and Fight". Jablonsky also reused the track "Have Faith Prime", a piece he composed for Age of Extinction; this track isn't included in the score.
In an interview, Jablonsky spoke of the unusual length of the soundtrack, citing that much of his work in the film was cut up in the editing process. As a result, he chose to release a longer score that featured much of his original, unedited music for the film. Some tracks, such as "Sacrifice" and "We Have to Go", were heavily edited for the film, while the score's version of said tracks are unedited suites. For instance, the "Sacrifice" suite runs at seven minutes, but was cut down to three minutes in the film. In addition, the "Merlin's Staff" suite, which is six minutes long, was cut down to a thirty second piece in the film. The "Quintessa" suite was cut apart into at least nine small tracks in the film.
The film's complete score was released by Paramount Pictures in January 2018, as part of their "For Your Consideration" campaign.
The film version of We Have to Go differs greatly from the album version. The album version makes the track more of a suite, similarly to "Vivian" and "Stay and Fight", as it gets more dramatic as the piece progresses but is never played in its entirety during the film. The complete version of the track opens differently, and utilizes louder drums from "Battlefield". Towards the ending of the track, two new cues are introduced as Optimus fights Megatron and then Quintessa.
