This video contains audio taken from the original Sunbow Productions / Marvel Productions unslugged analogue cassette tape "MP4023 Transformers Day 1 Unslugged" containing original studio recordings. This video covers the very end of the final act of the Generation One Transformers episode More Then Meets The Eye Part 1 where the Autobots battle the Decepticons on the oil rig.

This video continues on from the previous video where Megatron and Optimus Prime are battling it out on the oil rig. The following exchange of dialogue has just taken place:

PRIME: "Give it up, Megatron! Leave these people alone."

MEGATRON: "Not until the power of the universe is mine to command!" 

Within the original script it is Soundwave who interferes within the fight and not Laserbeak. This is where we re-join the action.

This is our third entry within our Original Marvel Productions / Sunbow Production Audio Tape project which is seeing us digitise some of the original studio tapes used during production (slugged and unslugged taped) and then share the additional and changed dialogue with fans in a series of YouTube videos.

You can listen to today's entry using the plugin below. Some notes as well a transcript of the changes / additional scenes.

Notes:

Even though Soundwave is listed as having spoken the first line on Earth in the scripts for this episode it is still Skywarp who speaks the lines.

Teletraan 1's repairing of the Optimus Prime was not in the original recording with the scene jumping from Starscream straight onto Megatron preparing their new base of operations.

*** Extra Dialogue Starts ***

MEGATRON: ... convert the area for construction

STARSCREAM: What about materials?

MEGATRON: Use your imagination!

*NEW* MEGATRON: Skywarp, Thundercracker, coming with me!

STARSCREAM: Well? Any ideas?

*** Extra Dialogue Ends ***

*** Extended Dialogue and off key Rumble vocals start ***

STARSCREAM: Someday I'll be giving the orders, Rumble. You'll do what I say.

RUMBLE: Look, Starscream. Megatron is strong. He's merciless. He can't be beaten, and you'll never be our leader.

STARSCREAM: I will find a way. Everyone has a weakness.

RUMBLE: Yeah? Well, not Megatron.

STARSCREAM: We shall see. Now, shake things up a little!

STARSCREAM: I'm impressed!

*NEW* STARSCREAM: It's working!

*NEW* STARSCREAM: I'm glad you're on our side, Rumble

HOUND: Sure is a lot different than Cybertron out here.

*** Extended Dialogue and off key Rumble vocals Ends ***

*** Extended scene as Hound and Cliffjumper watch the Decepticons - Some dialogue different to the Ron Friedman script ***

MEGATRON: (Laughs) How ironic. By leading us to this planet, the Autobots have sealed their own doom.

*NEW* SKYWARP: These things are heavy Thundercracker. Why do we have to carry them?

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: I can't wait till the Autobots are our slaves so they can do all the work.

*NEW* MEGATRON: Skywarp! How dare you question the task!

*NEW* SKYWARP: We ... we just thought

*NEW* MEGATRON: You are not to think, you are to do!

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: We're sorry Megatron, We

*NEW* MEGATRON: Silence!

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: It won't happen again.

*NEW* MEGATRON: I don't think it will!

HOUND: Cliffjumper! What are you doin'?!

CLIFFJUMPER: I've got Megatron dead center in my viewfinder.

*NEW* HOUND: But Prime said

*NEW* CLIFFJUMPER: Prime isn't here, we are!

[Decepticon's react to Cliffjump firing]

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: What was that?

*NEW* [Unknown character]: Where'd that come from?

*NEW* [Unknown character]: Look out!

SKYWARP: Who could be firing on us

THUNDERCRACKER: Who even knows we're here?

STARSCREAM: The Autobots.

MEGATRON: Impossible!

STARSCREAM: They're the only ones!

MEGATRON: Soundwave, send Laserbeak to investigate!

SOUNDWAVE: Laserbeak, prepare for flight. Course heading: northeast.

*NEW* SKYWARP: Starscream - look what I found.

*NEW* STARSCREAM: What is it?

*NEW* SKYWARP:Don't know, some Earth gadget I guess. Here

*NEW* STARSCREAM: I don't want it, you keep it!

*NEW* MEGATRON: This is no time for games, Starscream. Get to work,  like all the others!

*NEW* STARCREAM: Don't tell me what to do, Megatron! I'm not like the others. I do what I want, when I want!

*NEW* MEGATRON: No Starscream ... as long as I am the leader of the Decepticons, you will do exactly as I tell you to.

*EXTENDED* BOTH WORKMAN: [Body english as they scramble when Ravage acts] 

*NEW* WORKMAN #2 (NOT JOE): Get in!

*NEW* JOE: Step on it!

HOUND: And that's all we heard, Prime. They're gonna put the energy in some kind of cube, then haul it back to Cybertron.

*NEW* PROWL: We better warn the people of Earth.

*NEW* JAZZ: They'd never believe us, Prowl.

*NEW* PRIME: Jazz is right. It's up to us to stop them. We brought them here.

*NEW* HOUND: From what I saw, this planet's a pretty place. Hate to see something happen to it

*NEW* HOUND: Hey Ratchet! Be careful!

*NEW* RATCHET: I'm fixing you!  Your torque converter's jammed.

Since we announced that we had acquired some original audio cassettes containing Marvel Productions slugged and unslugged material which we would be sharing the deleted and extended scenes from we've received numourous requests regarding specific episode. Currently we are still working through the tapes to find out what is on them and to transfer them into a digital format. Remember these tapes have not been played in 30 years or more so we are being extra careful with them. What we can do is to share what recordings we have recovered thus far:

Transformers

2. More than Meets the Eye Pts 1& 2 - Slugged
3. More than Meets the Eye Pt2 - Unslugged
4. More than Meets the Eye Pt2 (copy)- Unslugged - Needs comparing to see if its a duplicate audio track or a different composite

7. More than Meets the Eye Pt3 - Slugged
8. Roll For It - Unslugged

We recently announced, via Twitter, that we have aquired several audio cassettes containing original studio dialogue from both the Sundow Productions cartoons of Transformers and Visionaries as part of our larger Visionaries archive project. Whilst the documents and audio are being sorted, checked and slowly converted to digital format we are please to be able to not only confirm that we have both slugged and unslugged tapes, but that they do include the audio dialogue for the scenes that were removed from the final cartoon episodes.

As such we are please to be able to bring you this short teaser of content from the Generation One episode More than Meets the Eye - Part 1. Within this almost two minute clip you shall hear dialogue from two extended scenes as well as a scene that was completely removed. There is also a little something extra at around the 40 second mark to confirm that these are studio recordings ;)

You can listen to the audio by using the embedded video below. We have includes a transcript of the dialogue underneath the video on this site as well as under the description on the YouTube video.

The missing scene is between Wheeljack and Bumblebee with the first extended dialogue also between the two with the second being Soundwaves.
