The audio is from an original slugged cassette and if from the sessions when Skyfire was still referred to as Jetfire. This audio was never used in the final released version.
From what we have been told by those in the industry, slugged tapes mean that the animation was done and thus any missing scene we find on those tapes means that there should (90% likelihood) have been animation produced that may still exist on a tape somewhere.
You can check out the video embedded below, along with a transcript of the missing dialogue. Enjoy!
#### Extended Scene ####
SKYWARP: We... we found something!
MEGATRON: So you did. Starscream, I want a clearer look.
STARSCREAM: You shall have it, leader.
MEGATRON: It appears to be a robot of unknown classification.
*NEW* RUMBLE: Look out -- You'll damage him! Let me do it ..
*NEW* STARSCREAM: Stay back! I've had enough of your bungling today! Wha---?!
*NEW* MEGATRON: Rumble's right -- I don't want the creature damaged. We may be able to revive him!
MEGATRON: With his size and probable strength, he will make an excellent Decepticon!
#### Extended Scene with switched audio ####
THUNDERCRACKER: Whatever it is, being on ice kept it fresh.
SKYWARP: But not perfect. Info center's down.
SOUNDWAVE: Also, cybermotor relays are useless **MOVED IN FINAL VERSION**
STARSCREAM: Then give him 50.000 volts to activate his memory monitor!
MEGATRON: Starscream, why are you so concerned about this creature?
STARSCREAM: Because I knew him once, a long time ago on Cybertron. Again! This time a million volts!
*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: Converting wrist unit to nuclear-fusion cannon ... and ... firing!
STARSCREAM: Memory monitor activating!
MEGATRON: You knew him?
STARSCREAM: His name is Jetfire.
#### Extended Scene ####
STARSCREAM: Jetfire and I were both explorers from Cybertron.
MEGATRON:That must have been shortly before our final falling-out with the Autobots.
*NEW* MEGATRON: They refused to join us in our conquest of the universe so we declared war on them and all their weakling breed.
STARSCREAM: Yes. Skyfire and I were exploring what was an uncharted planet at that time. This one. Earth.
#### Extended Scene ####
JETFIRE: Aaahh... aahh... What happened? Starscream... it's you. You have... rescued me. But where am I? This is not Cybertron.
STARSCREAM: No. This is Earth, where you crashed many years ago.
*NEW* JETFIRE: How long have I been ... dysfunctional?
*NEW* STARSCREAM: Too long! Much has changed Jetfire.
*NEW* JETFIRE: But I will soon be operational again and we will resume our scientific explorations!
MEGATRON: I am Megatron, Jetfire.
#### Extended Scene ####
SKYFIRE: Destruction to all Autobots!
*NEW* IRONHIDE: He's a Decepticon!
*NEW* PRIME: Seek cover and return fire!
*NEW* IRONHIDE: You can dish it out, big fellah, but can you take it?!
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Hit the ice, Spike! He's gonna fire again!
SPIKE WITWICKY: Dad, help!!
#### Extended Scene ####
OPTIMUS PRIME:Possibly. There are hundreds of tunnels down here!
SPIKE WITWICKY: Please, help!
*NEW* SPARKPLUG: Can you hear us!
CLIFFJUMPER: Spike and Sparkplug!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Cliffjumper, be cautious!

More Fire in the Mountain. Seems like even reflector was part of the mix and TC had more exchanges with Skyfire and giving us more exposure to his somewhat wavering commitment to the decepticon cause.

You can tell? Is it in the script? I thought Welker owned all those animal effects? That guy is so AMAZING! I shudder to think who would replace him when he's gone.

The show's voice-actors and the people who processed their voices were equally talented.
Love that episode btw.

You can tell. All the con Cassettes are done by Welker, but those Laserbeaks are clearly Latta. You can tell by the starscream-esque whine to it at the end of each scream.
And I wish I could see Welker doing Ravage. I nearly cracked up laughing at that.
Posted by Sabrblade on April 6th, 2017 @ 9:00am CDT
Yeah, I'm genuinely shocked, here. I mean, I and everyone always just thought all the animal voices were done by Welker because, well, it's Welker. But those Laserbeak caws in that video are very definitely done by Latta. Could he, instead of Welker, have been Laserbeak all this time and we just never knew it? Could both of them have just shared the role, filling in for each other in various episodes? Thanks to this video, we've now just discovered a 30+ year old mystery!Insurgent wrote:fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The...

EDIT: Holy Fudgsticks! I'm listening out, and I can hear the Starscream whine in Laserbeaks voice here! How has this been missed all these years????
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjE8AGgQZDg
Because the embedded playback broke.
EDIT EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I've just looked on Laserbeak's wiki page, he's already listed as being voiced by Latta.

Posted by Sabrblade on April 6th, 2017 @ 11:16am CDT
But he was there. We can hear Megatron, Soundwave, and Skywarp in some of the same dialogue readings as Laserbeak and Starscream. The actors of the G1 cartoon all scenes read together in the same room.Insurgent wrote:Maybe latta was just filling in for that day if Welker wasn't there?
Heh, yeah. This discovery has gotten Chris McFeely going through all of the G1 animal voices to figure out which ones were and were not Welker after all.Insurgent wrote:EDIT EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I've just looked on Laserbeak's wiki page, he's already listed as being voiced by Latta.

This video contains audio that was cut from the Transformers Generation One episode War of the Dinobots. The audio has been taken from an original cassette tape from the original recording sessions. You can read a transcript of the dialogue in the description below
The full script is available to download thanks to Jim Sorenson and Chris McFeely
#### Wally Burr Intro ####
*NEW* WALLY: Ah this is Transformers War of the Dinobots 700-07
#### Extended Scene ####
OPTIMUS PRIME: I always worry about the Decepticons, Spike. Autobots, transform.
CHIP: Thanks for comin' so fast. According to my calculations, the meteor should hit sometime tonight.
*NEW* HOUND: Maybe I can help Chip. I'll make a hologram of the meteor's final destination. Here! It will land in that deserted section of the city in 7 thousand astro-seconds.
OPTIMUS PRIME: The meteor could be an energy source of incalculable strength.
IRONHIDE: Then we'd better get to it before the Decepticons do.
#### Extended Scene ####
MEGATRON: Soundwave, discover the Dinobots' soft spots.
SOUNDWAVE: As you command, Megatron.
*NEW* LAZERBEAK: [shriek]
*NEW* RAVAGE: [snarls]
#### Extended Scene ####
OPTIMUS PRIME: Everyone, take cover!
*NEW* LAZERBEAK: [shriek]
IRONHIDE: Spike, move it!
#### Extended Scene ####
MEGATRON: Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker! Transport the meteorite to the place I've selected.
*NEW* MEGATRON: The rest of you join them -- while I remain behind to discuss a plan with our brilliant Dinobot allies.
MEGATRON: If it please you, o superior ones, might one as unworthy as I suggest a course of action to assist in the destruction of our enemy Optimus Prime?
#### Extended Scene ####
WHEELJACK: If this fragment is typical, the meteorite is just cooking with unstable energies. It's liable to explode at any second.
TRAILBREAKER: Not if I can help it!
*NEW* TRAILBREAKER: I really got a bang out of that! [laughts]
CHIP CHASE:If the whole meteorite explodes...
WHEELJACK: there's no telling what might happen.
#### Extended Scene ####
SIDESWIPE: Great! I 'm finally gonna get in a fight!
*NEW* PROWL: Wind? My motor reflex circuits weren't prepared for wind!
#### Extended Scene ####
OPTIMUS PRIME: I do not want to fight you, but you leave me no choice.
*NEW* MEGATRON: Megatron calling Starscream, our Dinobots have triumphed! I shall rejoin you now.
OPTIMUS PRIME: Please! This is senseless! We are friends!
#### Body English Scene ####
*NEW* WALLY: Good and the B dialogue trying to get up, body english for 95, b dialogue take onw
PRIME: [body english]
GRIMLOCK: Goodbye, friend. You are weak, so you must be destroyed!
PRIME: [body english]
SLUDGE: Optimus Prime ... terminated?
#### MISSING Scene ####
*NEW* CHIP: No word yet from Optimus Prime yet, Wheeljack?
*NEW* SPIKE: Don't worry about Optimus, Chip, he can handle anything ... especially when he's got the help of three loyal Dinobots

The audio contained within this video has been taken from an original cassette recording of a one-to-one studio session between Wally Burr (directing) and Frank Welker (performing), with the tape dated 9th August 1984.
The session features vocoded effects for Ravage and is from the Transformers Generation One series. The audio was recorded during the Season One sessions and was added to the end of a cassette containing the unslugged audio for War of the Dinobots along with audio of the Hound / Rumble fight from the episode More Than Meets The Eye.
This is the original audio from the tape.

Today's previously unheared original Transformers Audio file is a little different to normal. There is no episode but instead we take a proper behind the scenes look as we listen in to a one-on-one recording session between Transformers greats Wally Burr (Director) and Chris Latta (Actor).
This session is known as the Laserbeak Library sessions, we hope you like it *sqwark sqwark*
