I was watching the end credits and noticed that they assigned a voice actors name to prowl. The problem with that is that prowl had not a single line!
Was there dialough that was removed? If so, Id like to know what it was. Prowls death and total lack of prescence in the movie always bugged me and even if it didnt make the final cut I wanna know what they intended for him to say do.
Anyone know how to find out about this?
Also is there a sight I can visit to see all the cutting room floor snippets and possibly view the dialouge for the entire movie that was taken out? Im interested to know what the intent was.
For instance I saw a rough pic or possibly animatics of magnus in trailer mode with red alert on him. Red alert transforms and is kiled. Ill bet that we were also ment to see wheeljack and windchargers demise. At least wheeljack as he was a big player in the toon.
Pitty that we couldnt get a directors cut with all that stuff in there.
Alwell. Anyone know the answer to any of these questions?

Prowl's credit was probably done by accident since, while he didn't have any speaking lines, he still appeared in the film and his voice actor, Micheal Bell, voiced several other characters who did have speaking parts. Though, some storyboards do show Prowl having some lines to Ironhide aboard the shuttle before they're killed, but there's no telling if this scene was even animated.

There's also credits for Inferno and Gears, Yet Inferno wasn't even in the film (or even in the film's script), and Gears may or may not have appeared in the film (there's a guy colored like him in the background on Moonbase One) without speaking lines either.

Mistakes happen, I guess.


Anyway, some deleted scene storyboards can be found and viewed here, but again, there's no way to know if these scenes were ever even animated or not.

it would have been nice to see the deleted scenes - i reckon it would have made for a better story, and a more complete adventure, showing what actually happened in the space shuttle, the battle for autobot city...sigh.. would be nice to see the animated fil re-done too...

can you imagine the animated adventures if they were inked by the likes of Don Figueroa, EJ Su or even Guido Guidi? - not that it will actually happen in animated form - but i think it would be a dream combination to see that happen...

ahem.. sorry... rambling

The Transformers Wikia page has a listing of all known scenes that were either in the script or story boarded.

Is it commonly accepted that Skyfire was blowed up real good in Dark Awakening? I'm am working on a story to bridge the gap between the last episode of Season 2 and the Animated Movie and I need to know if he should get a death scene or not.

And while we're at it...can we name charecters that were not seen in the movie AT ALL and generally accepted they died? Such as...

Trailbreaker
Sideswipe
Gears
Inferno
Red Alert
Blue Streak
Hoist
Grapple

Who else am i forgetting? I have notes elsewhere on another computer, but would like to get a concensus...

No. That was likely just a jet that used his animation model.

And, he's shown alive and well in The Headmasters.

The Japanese have filled in a lot of the gap between season 2 and movie, so there is fiction that exists between the two.

Huffer was confirmed dead in "Dark Awakening". Though, many season 1 and 2 character showed up alive a well in The Headmasters.

Right for the Headmasters, but a lot have not seen that storyline so for us unfortunate, just trying to bridge the gap.
