Is there a way getting post fields using `transition_post_status`

I’m not sure why get_post_field wouldn’t work in this situation, but if you can access $post->ID, you should also be able to get $post->post_title and $post->post_content (and even $post->post_excerpt if it’s there).

The $post object includes the standard metadata, like author and publication date. Any metadata in the wp_postmeta table in the database can only be found with $post->ID, with which you should be able to get your metadata using get_metadata. Failing that you can always run a query on the database directly. Since plugins have quite some freedom in structuring their metadata it’s not possible in general to say how to structure this query. Also: read Otto’s note on this.
