Hasbro is excited to announce the next stop on “The Apology Tour” with THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE: THE SOUNDTRACK: THE REFORMATTED EDITION, a reimagined soundtrack for THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE (1986), created in collaboration with record label Reigning Phoenix Music.
Releasing July 24, 2026 on major streaming platforms and various physical formats including limited edition vinyl, THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE: THE SOUNDTRACK: THE REFORMATTED EDITION brings 10 re-recorded, reimagined tracks from the iconic film, where new production techniques meet the raw spirit of 1986 to create something that feels both reverent and revolutionary. This includes the return of Stan Bush—the original voice that defined an era—now making his return 40 years later to bring fans brand-new recordings of “The Touch” and “Dare”! Every track has been rebuilt from the ground up: bigger, heavier, sharper, and more alive than ever. Guest singers are top level artists who not only pay tribute to the originals but also bring an unmeasurable amount of talent to these classic tracks.
Album performances are led by ‘The Knights of Unicron’, a band of world-class musicians featuring Gus Rios, Matt Harvey and Ross Sewage, with additional guest appearances by rock/metal icon, former singer of Skid Row and solo artist, Sebastian Bach for a special rendition of “Nothin’s Gonna Stand in Our Way”, power metal artist Brittney Slayes (Unleash The Archers) for an electric version of “The Transformers (Theme)”, and other new exciting re-recordings from Mark Osegueda (Kerry King, Death Angel), Francesco Cavalieri (Wind Rose, V.B.O.), and Cold Slither’s own, Torch. Tying it all together is composer Vince Dicola as the perfect complement to this winning formula for the most honest and true collaboration for die-hard TRANSFORMERS fans!
Worth noting is popular artist and co-owner at Vice Press Matt Ferguson is the artist commissioned to do the artwork for the new album.
Full album vinyl pre-orders now available at trade wide retailers and exclusive vinyl releases at Amazon and Target.
