Notes
- DiCola composed the score for The Transformers: The Movie by looking at storyboards rather than seeing finished or roughed scenes.
- At one point 3H had expressed interest in releasing copies of the TFTM score in paper form, but that sadly never happened due to it losing its Transformers license.
- DiCola was interviewed as a special feature for Kid Rhino's The Transformers: The Movie Special Collector's Edition DVD.
- DiCola and Meriedeth produced an arranged medley of tracks from the film, titled "Transformers Medley 2013", as a bonus track on the "Turrican Sountrack Anthology Vol. 1" album, in acknowledgement of the original Turrican's plagiarism of the tracks "Escape" and "Death of Optimus Prime".[1]
- DiCola cites meeting Frank Stallone as being instrumental in him becoming a film composer.
- DiCola says "The Death of Optimus Prime" track is his favourite he's composed for TFTM.
- DiCola was offered the chance to voice act for the The Transformers: The Movie 35th Anniversary Stop Motions but turned it down thinking he just couldn't voice act.
