So, there was a scene cut that had Optimus order the Autobots to switch from driving in vehicle mode to flying in robot mode. Helps make that bit of them flying to the offshore oil platform make a b it more sense... at least until you consider the later point in the series in which the show made it clear that robot mode flight was only an ubiquitous trait for the Decepticons, with only a select few Autobots capable of the same kind of flight in robot mode.

The scene where he yells at Starscream and Skywarp is a scene where the two were tossing a frisbee at each another and Megatron thought they were playing around.

So many lost treasures. Btw, was there ever a corrected copy (DVD/BD) with the Victory actually launching? It was shown in the bumper ads but not the actual episode.

The 5th and final part of MTMTE Pt1 is now up. This video continues on from the previous one where Megatron and Optimus Prime are battling it out on the oil rig. The following exchange of dialogue has just taken place:

PRIME: "Give it up, Megatron! Leave these people alone."
MEGATRON: "Not until the power of the universe is mine to command!"

Within the original script it is Soundwave who interferes within the fight and not Laserbeak. This is where we re-join the action.

Okay, so here is the first part with animation added. Will start working on part two soon.

The voices have not been altered, so there is a bit of echo in there and no effects have been added to their voices. I am working on that , but no promises

ALL THE THANKS TO THE TRANSFORMERS AT THE MOON GUYS ! ( I have placed links in the description to their youtube page )

Also, if you haven't already, MAKE SURE TO check out our G1 continuation fan series

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyvuiLrH9JY

We have done 6 , ten minute episodes so far !

Anyways, here is the video TRANSFORMERS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE PART 1, THE EXTENDED CUT Part 1 of ........ 4 or 5 LOL.

Parts of these two videos call to mind the first chorus of a certain Weird Al song.

If only Starscream had kept that "Ehh, I don't want it. You keep it." attitude. Could have spared himself a whole lot of trouble later on...

And Rumble on helium

Glad they didn't stick with that decision.

Some more news and clips from the recovered tapes of Sunbow's The Transformers animated series, courtesy of Transformers @ The Moon, reveal further cut scenes and additional dialogue for the More Than Meets the Eye part 2 and 3 episodes of the cartoon - check them out embedded below!

****************************************
HOUND: ...it was quiet and peaceful.
SPIKE WITWICKY: You miss it?
HOUND: Sometimes. Hold tight!
*NEW* SPIKE WITWICKY: Yahoo!! Yippee!! Waaooww!
*NEW* SPIKE WITWICKY: Woah, thanks Hound that was the greatest ride I have ever had
*NEW* HOUND: My pleasure Spike. See you later, I ... better go check my coil springs
*NEW* SPIKE WITWICKY: Oh, you didn't see a cassette player laying around here did you?
*NEW* HOUND: Nope. Sorry
*NEW* SPIKE WITWICKY: That's okay. I must have left it in the ship. See'ya
SPIKE WITWICKY: Hey! what's going on here?
SPIKE WITWICKY: Who... who are you?
[Ravage snarls before being ejected, this is corrected in the final version]
RAVAGE: *snarl*
SOUNDWAVE: Ravage! Eject! Eject!
*NEW* SPIKE: *coming around*
OPTIMUS PRIME: A Decepticon! Get him!
SOUNDWAVE: Ravage!

****************************************

****************************************
[The Decepticons start a tidal wave which is noticed back at the Ark]
[NOTE: In the Ron Friedman script there is additional dialogue between Jazz and Spike which was not recorded during the session that this tape was used.]

JAZZ: Could be the Decepticons, all right. I'll tell Prime!
*NEW* PRIME: Autobots ready! To the Air!
*NEW* WORKER: Run! They're coming!
*NEW* WORKER 2: Get back!
MEGATRON: I am Megatron - leader of the Decepticons! you will do exactly as I say!
****************************************

[Act 2 starts]
****************************************
MEGATRON: Perfect. The electrical output is at its peak. Exactly where I want it. Starscream, activate the null ray.
*NEW* MEGATRON: Skywarp! Thundercracker! Transfer the electrical power
MEGATRON: Soundwave, prepare the energon cubes.
MEGATRON: Quickly, quickly!
****************************************

****************************************
[NOTE: In the scripts Wheeljack is with Bumblebee and it's Ironhide who is with Trailbreaker. During the recording session that this tape is from the characters have been changed]

IRONHIDE: Stop talkin', tighten your shock absorbers, and get in! We're gonna make a new river!
BUMBLEBEE: Let's go!
*NEW* CIVILIAN: Help! Somebody help us!
*NEW* IRONHIDE: Ready the laser, Bumblebee - I think we're gonna make it!
MAN ON ROOFTOP: Thanks, neighbours!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Autobots, to the power plant!
*NEW* SUNSTREAKER: If I can just shoot some protoglue into the cracks - maybe we can save it
*NEW* TRAILBREAKER: Seems like the Decepticons want to shoot something else! Go ahead, Sunstreaker .. I'll cover you
*NEW* SUNSTREAKER: Sure hope this works, Trailbreaker
OPTIMUS PRIME: Autobots - To the power plant!
****************************************

****************************************
CLIFFJUMPER: For someone who doesn't like to fight, heh, you're not bad, Mirage.
*NEW* MEGATRON: It's a long way down Prime!
MEGATRON: Any last words??
OPTIMUS PRIME: None you'd wanna hear, Megatron!
****************************************

NOTE: Shortly after the previous dialogue Megatron say the following lines.
MEGATRON: You fool, Starscream! Help save the Energon cubes! Get them out of here! Follow me!
NOTE: On the tape we own the line "Follow me!" is missing from this exchange.

NOTE: The tape of the recording session we own has slightly reorderd dialogue from Spike as Rumble emerges from the water. The dialogue is spaced out so that it could be cut and edited together and so we have decided not to include it within this video
SPIKE WITWICKY: Hound! Hound! You all right down there?
SPIKE WITWICKY: Hey!
*Line order swapped* SPIKE WITWICKY: Whoa!
*Line order swapped* SPIKE WITWICKY: Where's Hound?
SPIKE WITWICKY: Heelp! Heeelp!

NOTE: As Act 2 closes Megatron says the following line
MEGATRON: Who's the scrap metal now, Prime? You'll never stop me! (Laughs)
NOTE: On the tape this is then followed by the "Follow me!" cry that was missing earlier.
[ONTO ACT 3]

***************************
SPIKE: Hound! Are you down there?? *takes breath*
*NEW* HOUND: Thanks!
SPIKE: *spluttering*
HOUND: Easy, Spike. You almost flooded your engine.

[Megatron and Soundwave talk whilst a shot is fired]
***************************
MEGATRON: What was that?
*NEW* STARSCREAM: Perfecto!
MEGATRON: Starscream! What in the universe are you doing?
STARSCREAM: Testing the Energon cubes ..
***************************

***************************
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: You know something? I like bein' a spy a lot better than workin' the oil rigs.
*NEW* TRAILBREAKER: As long as you're on the right side
SPIKE WITWICKY: Look, Dad, no hands.
TRAILBREAKER: Heheh, big deal. I'm driving!
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Uh-oh,
*NEW* SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: I think
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: we've got company!
*NEW* TRAILBREAKER: Decepticons!
SPIKE WITWICKY: Can't you go any faster, Trailbreaker?
TRAILBREAKER: Sorry, this is it! I'm not built for speed!
***************************

***************************
TRAILBREAKER: It's Sunstreaker and Sideswipe!
*NEW* SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Go get 'em Autobots!
SUNSTREAKER: Hey! That's a new paint job!
***************************

***************************
SOUNDWAVE: Enough here to power the entire planet of Cybertron.
[WALLY BURR]: Alternate for scene at 450 Soundwave
SOUNDWAVE: Enough here to power the entire planet of Cybertron.
***************************

***************************
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: There won't be any problem, Prime. This one's for Cybertron and Earth. Let's go, Bumblebee!
*NEW* SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Looks like they mean business
*NEW* GUARD #1: STOP! Don't come any closer
*NEW* SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Sorry to bother you - ah - but I think I'm lost. I was looking for an animal reserve - thought it was around where somewhere.
*NEW* GUARD #2: Who are you?
*NEW* GUARD #1: Blast him!
*NEW* SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Thanks. That was close.
BUMBLEBEE: Come on. Let's go inside.

***************************
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: We have to do it now!
BUMBLEBEE:It's done.
SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Let's move it!
*NEW* MEGATRON: Autobots!
SPARKPLUG: Oh, no!

So the cut off line of "There's nothing we can --" was always intentional? Weird. That line being cut off mid-sentence always struck me as seeming like an error.

After listening i think these audio samples are awesome. I had a friend who recently purchased a vintage vocoder which was used to make Soundwaves voice. It's an amazing tool to use when synthesizing voices. I've noticed in certain G1 episodes where Soundwave is very monotone but in other episodes his voice is inflective and almost sing song.

It's neat to hear how crisp and clean these sound bites are.
