Coming to the archive next month

"We Transformers have looked into the face of our creators...and seen the face of an enemy."

Greebtron 2021-07-12 @ 2:40 am

Added a 7 page storyboard test drawn by Brian Ray, who worked on season 1 proper.  Showing his alternative take on both deleted and produced scenes from the first episode.

Been a while since I posted here, so here is what the archive has been up to:

Received a contribution of storyboards from Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2.  Draw by Keith Tucker, this Additional Material section was added to Act III as Don Glut's script ran about 3 or 4 minutes short.

Additionally, I have a assembled a collection of Toyfair catalogue sections relevant to the shows.  Including a full set of G1 catalogues from 1984-1990.  The full list is as follows:

1982 GI Joe   1983 GI Joe   1984 GI Joe Transformers   1985 GI Joe Transformers   1986 GI Joe (Pre-Toyfair and main catalogue) Transformers (Pre-Toyfair and main catalogue) Jem Inhumanoids Robotix (Milton Bradley catalogue)   1987 GI Joe Transformers Jem Air Raiders Battle Beasts Ninja Warriors Visionaries   1988 Jem (Pre-Toyfair catalogue only)   GI Joe Transformers Visionaries (toyline cancelled, too late to remove from catalogue   1989 Transformers   1990 Transformers   The full list of links is at the April Update:

Finally got around to uploading copies of the Hasbro briefing binders that came from the Friedman auctions:

Had the contribution of another first draft script.  Head to the link for the debut of Jetfire (you heard me...) in Fire In The Sky.

Greebtron 2020-05-13 @ 10:18 pm

Added the first draft reconstruction of Roll For It to the archive.  Which includes such things as Laserbeak talking, Soundwave with a vocabulary and Teletraan I with a personality.

Greebtron 2020-04-09 @ 1:06 pm
The archive has now been updated to include the handwritten "Beats" chart and first page of the premise/outline for Grimlock's New Brain (titled Creation Of The Technobots). The uncut dialogue for Act I of Chaos has been amalgamated into the existing dialogue script as well as more from the episode's outline:  
Greebtron 2020-03-19 @ 8:37 pm

Just a reminder that the archive is still here and is expanding.  Just added storyboard samples from City Of Steel, taken from when the full set was auctioned about three years ago.

Also, if anyone out there has material they would be willing to contribute.  All you need is the item itself, a phone with a camera and Adobe Scan: .

Greebtron 2020-02-22 @ 4:52 pm

And that's not all.  I encourage anyone who visits to use the Productions links on the right-hand side.  I've got scripts, storyboards and other material from

  • Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends
  • The Incredible Hulk
  • Dungeons & Dragons
  • GI Joe
  • Defenders Of The Earth
  • Jem
  • Inhumanoids
  • Visionaries
  • Bucky O'Hare And The Toad Wars

and other shows covering from 1981 to 1991.  In theory, if the material became available, the site's remit could stretch from 1979 when the first solo Spider-Man scripts were submitted for DePatie-Freleng.  All the way until 2004 when Sunbow was closed down for good.
