Transformers 80s cartoon storyboards & scripts

I take it that whoever has the draft in their possession, they aren't allowing it to be scanned and posted publicly (by anyone, not just on your site)?

There are now three different interpretations of the draft online since the UK presentation, but I'd still really like to see the actual draft - how it is written and layed out... to get the real 1980s nostalgic feel to it.
I hope it isn't just someone being selfish, preventing everyone from seeing it (on their own site, or on a dedicated archive like yours) just because they can't monetise it.

It was scanned in November 2020. Jim sent me the files in pieces, I got them assembled and did the OCR to restore them. From what I understand, he is in touch with the owner and a possible release might happen next year.

The only thing I can show of the original pages is the photo Flint Dille took when he found it. Trust me when I say that the rest of it is just as ridiculously over-written and over-directed as this first page here:

As an appropriate way to close out a bumper year of G1 cartoon production material being uncovered and brought to the public. The Sunbow Marvel Archive is now able to add one more full storyboard set before 2022 comes to an end.

David Wise' debut episode - Attack Of The Autobots - now joins S.O.S Dinobots, Heavy Metal War, City Of Steel, Atlantis Arise!, Sea Change and Cosmic Rust as the seventh storyboard set available online.

Drawn by six artists, including Peter "Aeon Flux" Chung, this set appears to be working off the first draft script instead of the finalised one. As the majority of dialogue is completely different to what was broadcast. Also, Act II includes a vastly different look and approach to the episode's central plot device: the recharging chamber

Been working on creating an animatic using this latest storyboard set.

Are the voice lines made using an AI program fed voice lines, or are they just frankensteined from various episodes? Sounds and fits great.

Looks good. Always interesting to see how much extra rendering detail goes in to the storyboard drawings

It is all audio from the produced episode. Hence why I picked this section as other than one dropped longshot of the rocket taking off, there are no deleted scenes for which I would lack soundtrack.

That's fantastic Greebs.

A great way of viewing the content.

I'm going to enjoy trawling the site over my chrissy break.

Maybe should have saved this for Valentines Day, but I'm on a roll with making these.

The Sunbow Marvel Archive kicks off 2023 with a bang, as The Killing Jar joins Five Faces Of Darkness, Fight Or Flee and The Return Of Optimus Prime as the 9th season 3 script of the G1 cartoon.

This particular copy of the script was originally brought to the dialogue session for this episode by Michael Charles Hill, acting in his role as producer, with numerous handwritten additions. It was contributed to the Archive by Ryan King who bought it from an ebay seller who had acquired a box of TF scripts from Wally Burr's estate (in case you're wondering, the rest of the box had numerous copies of FFOD scripts in it).

Also included with the script by Michael Charles Hill are two pages of reference artwork for the Quintesson ship featured in this episode. The design was taken from Chris Foss' artbook 21st Century. Originally conceived for Alejandro Jodorowsky's ill-fated mid-70s attempt at a Dune movie, Foss would then attempt to re-use the design as an early concept piece for the Leviathan (later the Nostromo) in Alien.

The script, along with all the other season 3 material, can be found at: https://sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot...1986-1987.html
