These include Bob Budiansky's original pencil breakdowns for the pages he drew from issue #55's story (his only sequential art on Transformers), a draft of Bob's never-used (and certainly never-before-seen) 'Transformers: New Generation' treatment, and the original text for Optimus Prime and Megatron's Transformers Universe entries.
