We jump once more into the fray of newly-uncovered audio that went unused in the original Transformers G1 Sunbow cartoon but was nevertheless recorded based on earlier drafts! And this time we've got a rather special one on show -- courtesy of Chris McFeely's TFNation appearance, we have unused audio from the Season 1 finale "Heavy Metal War" along with the storyboards it was based on, so we get a good idea of how these deleted scenes would have gone! Check out all three deleted scenes - featuring Constructicons, Dinobots and Megatron turning into a jet - below or in this playlist and tell us what you think in the forums!

There is an exciting new preorder on Amazon Japan for any Japanese fan of the original Transformers G1 series. It is for a new Blu-Ray collection available for a limited time only which covers the 100 episodes from Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers and Transformers 2010, which are the Japanese versions of Transformers G1 Seasons 1-2 and 3. The price is 19,440 Yen and is region free. It is due for release on December 6. It is only a 3 disk set though, meaning that the Blu-Ray technology is used for its storage capabiliies rather than its high definition, so it won't be clearer than the previously released G1 DVDs. While it is not shown on the listing, there is mention fo new Guido Guidi slipcase cover. For those unaware of the artist's previous work, you can see an example of it below.

The major news from the Hasbro Investor day webcall, which took place today in Burbank rather than Rhode Island, and to which we were able to listen once it was over, has revealed the next animated project (the one being developed by Boulder Media, alongside Rescue Bots Academy) that will follow Transformers: Robots in Disguise - Transformers: Cyberverse!

Divided into chapters - Chapter One and Chapter Two were mentioned, airing in 2018 and 2019 respectively - it will serve as a prequel of sorts, focusing on the characters and the Transformers mythology from a remastered version of Generation One (as seen many times before, but most recently in the Busy Book images) that will possibly lead into the animated feature (also confirmed in the webcall, and which we first reported on here). Hasbro have also just uploaded the slides used during the call, so we have images to share with you too!

It also shows different locations from the show, and weapons. We've mirrored some of the art below, but please go check out Eric's full catalog on his Coroflot page, here
