James over at cereal:geek has started his 3-part series covering the recording sessions for thw Generation One Cartoon episode Transport To Oblivion. The audio includes outtakes, bloopers, deleted scenes and helps to highlight what when into recording the dialgoue for one episode of the original cartoon series.  It helps to highlight the part that Wally Burr played in shaping the series as he had a clear vision in his head for how the dialogue should be read.

The first two parts are availalbe now on YouTube.  The original audio is on reels that we own which is how we now know when the recordings were made and that it took two session.

Part 1

Part 2

Hasbro has uploaded the third episode of Transformers: Cyberverse to their Official YouTube Channel. Much like the previous episodes, Episode 1 “Fractured” and Episode 2 “Memory”, the video is in HD, has English audio and is region-free.

Machinima has released the whole series of Transformers Power of the Primes on YouTube in HD format. You can watch the full episodes on their channel.

Chris McFeely has posted his latest episode of Transformers: The Basics and it's an attendees guide to TFNation covering everything any first timer needs to know about the convention from buying tickets, booking accommodation to what's happening over the weekend itself. You can watch ti below.

We're back with the next episode in our series looking at missing and altered scenes from the Transformers Generation One cartoon series. 

This video primarily covers Episode 8 - S.O.S Dinobots and is taken from an unslugged tape of a recording where both Ken Samson and Casey Kasem were not present. However it starts with a single quote from a slugged tape of Fire in the Sky where you shall hear Starscream, voiced by Chris Latta, refer to Skyfire as Jetfire! Your ears are not deceiving you, the tape that we own is from a session that was recorded before Jetfire was renamed as Skyfire. We do not, at the time of this videos publication, own and unslugged audio from this episode and so we shall not be producing a dedicated video for that episode.

You can download the full episode script from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwBh... thanks to Jim Sorenson and Chris McFeely and can view a transcript of the audio below the video.
