Sunbow Transformers 'More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1' - Deleted Scene Audio: Part 2

A few more moments of character that add some nice additional touches to each scene. Shame these couldn't make it in, but with a cast of at least 30 characters and a 22-minute runtime, it's no wonder some things had to get excised.

I was waiting for this. It ALWAYS hit a subliminal nerve for me every time I watched this ep, when Prowl says "We ARE being followed", as if it were confirmation of a previous moment where he was uncertain. That moment was cut from the show! "Prime. I think we're being followed". Beautiful.

It's the little things.

Okay , so , I'm going to do a fan extended edition edit on this, since I have not heard of anyone putting the episode together , if someone is doing one please tell me so I'm not waistling my time please

The way Cullen and Welker switch between Prime/Ironhide and Megatron/Mirage/Trailbreaker respectively..

And Latta's Starscream, often imitated but never duplicated.

I re-watched MTMTE today, I think it was well edited/cut, but it's nice to listen to these resurrected extended dialogues anyway! Thanks Moonbug & Dave!

So very true.

I for years have tried to do a G1 Latta Starscream.

I also wanted to audition for Machinimas Combiners Wars but never heard anything back, tbh I did assume it would only be for youtube boys club only

Trouble I find is getting the whines and shrieks correct.


Not to discredit Steve Blum but for modern Starscreams I much preferred Tom Kenny's Animated Starscream. Isaying that i hated the overly cowardly and weak Prime Starscream the updated form in RID15 is much more fitting for the character.

Just a heads up, the third video is going to go up in about 90 minutes time. This one has around 4 minutes of dialogue in a 5 minute video and features 2 new scenes, an extended scene and 3 increase dialogue scenes (i.e little pieces of extra dialogue).

Some notes. Skywarp is still the first to be revived and not Soundwave (unlike in the Ron Friedman script) and "thanks" from Prime was added later.

Oh and yes it includes the frisbee scene.

Even the edited parts are good, although I am glad Welker changed Rumble's voice.

The voice actors, the world building, a cast of more than 5-6 mechs on either side... stuff like this is why more than 30 years later G1 is still the greatest. It's sad that we can never have this again because of reasons like-

"The voice actors are all almost dead and the director is sick"

"The cast of G1 was too big, there can only be 6 'bots in an army or we won't be able to tell a good story"

"There would be too many toys to sell"

"We can't draw like that anymore"

"G1 had too many standalone stories. We need an ENTIRE SEASON to tell a story now"

The third part is up on YouTube - https://youtu.be/adPpaO_aheY

Agreed!

And I think they made the right calls regarding the final product.

Don't get me started. In comics, too (at least when I was still reading.) What writers & pencilers used to do in a single 17-page issue now takes months!

I don't even want a continuation of the original series, it's complete as far as I'm concerned. Just something good. And hand-drawn (they still do that sometimes, Young Justice comes to mind.)

Thanks!

i wish i could see these too

The Mapes twins, behind the Transformers @ The Moon site, have uploaded the third of five currently planned parts of the More Than Meets the Eye deleted audio recovery, featuring some more cut material from the episode of the Generation 1 cartoon. Check it out in the embedded video below!

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.

so there's even more belittlement by megatron towards thundercracker and starscream! very interesting

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.

was the frisbe named scrounge

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.

With this dialogue cut out, Windcharger didn't speak his first line till episode #6, Divide and Conquer.

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
