original movie script

The originals... ok, not exactly, but the original named "The TransFormers" anyway. Take THAT, Diaclone!

Good god man! A tiger and scorpion tape? A friggin' scorpion?


Apparently, the Predacons were supposed to be Autobots.

It is amazing. I urge everyone to actually read through it, don't just giggle at mine and Dom's reactions!

*Vaguely recalls mention of proto-Blaster having a scorpion cassette, and a single humanoid cassette called "Bolts", from aaaages ago on BWTF* I even drew what I thought it should look like. I should find that.

Megatron's boot dagger is awesome.

This draft also explains the 'mistake' regarding OP's last words in Five Faces of Darkness. Nifty.

I had always wondered about that in FFOD. So the scripts for FFOD were written with the early scripts of the movie for reference, and then not changed when the movie changed. Nice to know after all this time.

I read it. It's pretty cool, though there's not much after Starscream's death that's different besides some minute details. There's some nifty lines in there that got cut or changed, though. And Wheeljack lives!

And Blaster has Windcharger parts RAIN ON HIM FROM THE SKY.

I find the portrayal of the pre-movie toy--er, characters much more sensitive than the version we got. Blaster and Wheeljack really get to DO STUFF! It's ace. Kinda makes me want an animated G1 reboot, as an alternative to all the hundreds of thousands of G1 reboot comics....

I know, Blaster's absence is explained very thoroughly. Also, the plot hole with Hound and Sunstreaker is gone! Sunstreaker and Hound were always on Earth and were probably "supposed" to help Kup move the sign. Sunstreaker (and presumably Hound) being on Prime's shuttle is the error.
