Last week, we featured a
story about one of the rare pieces of Transformers history posted to the
Disciples of Boltax Blog; the Hasbro Briefing Binder for the 1986 animated, feature film. The binder, a collection of artwork, character bios, product images, and additional notes, was given to Ron Friedman, writer of the 1986 film, to assist him during the creation of the movie's storyline. On Thursday, Jim Sorenson updated the blog with two more downloadable PDFs, both installments coming from the same tab in the Binder. Some interesting bits of information from this latest update include:
- Jetfire was originally named
Fireball and was originally going to be the Autobot Aerospace Commander.
- According to the document, Sludge was originally named
Piledrive.
- The binder included images of Takara's Dinosaur Robo box art for four of the original Dinobots. Swoop was not included.
Jim has been gracious enough to let us mirror these latest updates to our Seibertron.com servers for easy access for our members and guests.

And as a reminder, the Hasbro Briefing Binder will be auctioned off at a later date with the proceeds going to
The Hasbro Children's Hospital.
