As part of the viral marketing for the live-action movie, an mp3 of Linkin Park soundalikes " DECEPTIBOT " performing a song that included the classic theme as a chorus was released online. The song also featured a roll call of the Autobots in the movie while excluding Jazz as...well, we all know what happened to Jazz. This song didn't feature in the movie or on the soundtrack, though. Instead, MuteMath performed a whiny and emo laid back version of the tune for the soundtrack, although it didn't appear in the film itself. Ironically, the Deceptibot theme does appear in the IMAX extended cut of the film, though none of the lyrics are heard. In 2009, the Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack featured a cover of Lion's version of the Transformers theme song by the American band Cheap Trick . Animated
Transformers Animated continued this tradition with yet another new variation of the theme by Andy Sturmer and Sebastian Evans II, including an entirely new rhyming couplet, "More than they appear/Justice, bolts, and gears!!" However, because the opening credits had to be shortened from one minute down to thirty seconds, this new verse had to be omitted from the final broadcast version of the opening. The full, uncut theme song is available on the DVD that comes in the Optimus Prime vs. Megatron - The Battle Begins 2-pack, and was available for download in mp3 format on Hasbro's website. Prime
Prime on the other hand, eschewed the theme for a classical composition by Brian Tyler (which sounds like a generic "Hollywood blockbuster movie theme" similar to Steve Jablonsky 's "Arrival to Earth" from the 2007 Transformers movie 's score or Michael Giacchino's "Enterprising Young Men" from the 2009 Star Trek film, both of which Orci and Kurtzman were also involved with).
