Here is a video I made of one of the deleted scenes from the 1986 Transformers movie. It's made using a set of production used storyboards I own. I have included a section of the film either side so you can see where it would have fit in. I believe this scene was animated as it exists in very late production notes & music was written to accompany it. It was cut as Nelson Shin felt it ruined the flow of Primes attack leading up to his battle with Megatron. Ultra Magnus, Tracks, Sideswipe & Red Alert were picked to attack Devastator as they all have rocket launchers. It also explains what Megatron was looking at when Prime found him. Hope you like.
This is a deleted scene from the 1986 Transformers Animated movie, recreated from a set of production used storyboards. In the storyboards Ultra Magnus had a much more barbaric death at the hands of the Sweeps. As you can see in the video, he is literally pulled apart. This scene was animated but removed due to concerns over the violence. There are many clues in the film that this scene should still be there. The audio matches this version exactly, Magnus sounds like he is being pulled apart. You see the Sweeps fire out 4 solid beams towards Magnus. Finally Galvatron catches the Matrix when it falls perfectly into his hands from above.

Yeah, the old Rhino DVD had some gallery images of some (but not all) of these storyboards.Darth Bombshell wrote:agentk9 wrote:odd how these werent included as extra deleted scenes on the dvd.
The first one was. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a direct rip from the DVD content.

bionic_radical wrote:Yeah, i think Dirge was supposed to sneak up on Prime and gets his face put into the floor. Also i remember something about someone (Brawn?) originally being torn apart and eaten by insecticons. Another was a battle with Trailbreaker and his forcefield protecting everyone while he qnd Wheeljack were trying to figure out how to defend the city. There was supposed to be an aerial battle with Powerglide supported by Warpath on the ground, and i think Windcharger got thrown up in the air and dissected. Its been so long since I read the original script.
Bumblevivisector wrote:Yeah, Dirge tackling Optimus actually did get animated; I remember seeing that at Botcon 2000 amidst all those extra storyboard sequences, shortened versions of which ended up on the Rhino DVD.
I think Windcharger getting torn up by Cyclonus's armada in mid air first came to light when that early draft of the script was released through the Disciples of Boltax blog,
but I'm not sure about the other stuff you mentioned in between, except that Wheeljack, Blaster and some other '84-'85 'bots stayed behind outside the ruins of the Autobot city after Galvatron's forces melted it down in that same draft.

And Magnus's tearing can't be as horrifying as Optimus's death, right?

can you prove that?
I dont mean to sound rude, but in the 20+ years, I've seen plenty of claims of animated scenes such as the one you pointed out, but no one can ever provide any proof.

are you sure you mean Windcharger, because he was intended to die earlier in the film.but I'm not sure about the other stuff you mentioned in between, except that Wheeljack, Blaster and some other '84-'85 'bots stayed behind outside the ruins of the Autobot city after Galvatron's forces melted it down in that same draft.
again, those shots took place durring Megatrons attack , not Galvatrons
Bumblevivisector wrote:I'd be skeptical too, but since cell phone video functions weren't as common then and I still couldn't find it on YouTube just now, the closest thing to proof would be if anyone else around here remembers attending that same presentation.
Incidentally, the full TFTM screening at the nearby theater that year had another few seconds of footage possibly never seen on home video: a bit of Blaster's radio mode synching up with other equipment before sending his distress message to Optimus.

Sorry friend, but that post makes me question your memory even more.
Blaster connecting to other equipment has been part of every home video release,Here are pics taken from my very 1st vhs tape of the film
before he connects
as he connects [note the 2 gold/yellow parts connected to his sides]
connected and transmitting
Bumblevivisector wrote:Yes, of course that's been in every cut. That's why I didn't say connecting, I said synching, but yes, I should have clarified what I meant: after Blaster connected with the chair, it cut to some sort of readout, possibly on the same console he uses to swivel his chair just before Perceptor pops up, for about 3 seconds, then to his sending the message as usual.
