thanks so much for showing this. Sad those scenes got cut.

If you look where Perceptor and Grapple are firing, Swoop runs in front of them for a split second...only to show up on the shuttle moments later.

This is superb!!! what an extraordinary job you've done here!! thanks!!! Wish HASBRO does this movie again and includes these missing sceneces and gave us all those missing in action autobots either deaths or survival status

Hot Rod invented Drifting. Huh

Countless re-releases of this movie no one has ever thought of including the deleted scenes in animated form. I guess they won't take the risk but think how spectacular it would be.

Imagine a remastered but also a directors cut of this movie :P

Only line said by Devastator in the whole movie and it was F**KING AMAZING and sounded so OMINOUS. PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION!!!!!

What an awesome film 🎉🎉

Make Voodood next!

nice video and edit!

Here's what believe in terms of death. I don't really believe that MOST characters die but I can argue with some. Wheeljack did NOT die, because he was in a deleted scene and removed storyboard. The deleted scene had Ultra Magnus order Wheeljack to bring out the Ani bots (who became the predacons in season 3) to fight devastator. This scene was before the dinobots came. Gears was scripted to die by devastator. Smokescreen was seen dead next to windcharger when arcee pulls him in. As seen in dark awakening, huffer in in the autobot (graveyard?). At the end of the battle when the decepitcons board astrotrain, Trailbreakers legs were meant to be seen. Red alert was meant to be seen getting killed by the constructicons, and his corspe during megatron and primes battle. Inferno had survived the assault and was meant to tell wish U.M. good luck. If I left out anyone please let me know.

This was awesome! Thanks for making this. 🙂

You know it was never explained when and how did Ultra Magnus get his earth mode. Some where between the end of season 2 and the movie Magnus came to Earth. What did his alt-mode look like on Cybertron?

4:35 ultra magnus was originally supposed to be carrying springer arcee and blurr in his truck carrier mode

I really wonder what the storyboards were for the Autobot City battle that was shown in the Promotional Trailer. Holy SHIT did that look better than what we ended up getting.

I cant wait for the year 2005

God helped and blessed White's too kill Jesus

The storyboard had to be trimmed to match the song, which IMO made more sense without them. Although a fan made version would be nice

Cool stuff man. So many scenes unused or scrapped in this one. If only they allowed extended versions back then.

One storyboard showed Prime getting jumped by Starscream and 3 others just after Blitzwing rushed. Would loved to have seen Prime smashing them up

They certainly should have kept the scene where Prime slams Dirge to the ground before finishing his line to Megatron. The way it was cut, while awesome, makes no sense with the movement

Thank you for sharing the missing pieces of this greatest epic movie of transformers. A job well done.

After all these years, I'm now starting to notice how chubby Hot Rod's lower legs are. 😮

I never notice hotrods flame when he Transformed at 1:17. I think the fight scenes should have been left it would have been better.

Man. Wish they kept went and animated that sub fight with devestator and the other autobots and all the other little added bits in the Prime and Megatrom fight.

I’m realizing Swoop appears too early.

boy all these storyboards fill in alot of gaps in the scenes while also showing more Autobots not shown in the film especially more season 2 autobot characters. through season 3 after the events of the movie very little season 2 characters made appearances in the cartoon say Blaster, Perceptor and some of the throttlebots. I know they wanted a clean slate with season 1 mainstays gone from show that were killed off in the movie.

High chance the edits and cuts were made around the songs and score.

I think there was a scene where Omega Supreme falls trying to defend the Ark a.k.a Autobot HQ. His only line is "Situation dire".

The editors really, truly butchered one of best animated battles in living memory. Have to wonder how much of this got animated and cut vs how much of it got cut at the the storyboard stage. There almost has to be a few great scenes complete with voice music and sound that fans have never beheld.

Now that makes sense why Optimus Prime picks up his gun while fighting Megatron it got knocked out when Prime got bum rushed by Blitzwing.

Damn, the Insecticons were really punished during the battle, getting shot, blown up over and over, no wonder they were all beaten up by the time the Decepticons fled. However, it would've made more sense if the Insecticons had just summoned their clone army to raid Autobot City, which would've easily explain how the Insecticons kept on getting shot at

The inserted unused storyboards here don't do a good job in conveying what's taking place. I've seen a more coherent version of what really happened in the Autobot City/Megatron-Prime Battle elsewhere. The "final version" of the film made no sense (particularly in that section).

Wow, the insecticons surely took a lot of abuse, specially Bombshell. No wonder they were all mangled up at the end of the battle.

Nice of the Autobots just stood and waited for the Constructicons start shooting at them, after Devastator disassembled. Then ran away from the Constructicons and get shot in the back. Yet, the area Devastator tore open the Dinobots were not around and also allowed the Constructicons to escape. Talk about holes in the story.

Maybe for the 40th anniversary, Hasbro could commission the unanimated storyboards and make the movie complete. Including the scenes that were scripted, but not even storyboarded. In all seriousness, the stuff they omitted is far more relevant and pertinent to the movie, and adds so much depth to the city battle in particular. That crap with the Junkions and Sharkticons could easily have been avoided, let’s be honest.

@7:26 Who are the two autobots front right, running? I literally cannot read the handwriting of the person who wrote their names. lol

One Shall stand & One shall fall !!!!

Funny the little details or plot holes you find later. For all the technology, transforming a city into a armed fortress(which BTW, why wouldn't it always be in armed fortress mode), space travel etc. They needed Perceptor to RUN to the communication tower get Blaster to radio Moon base 1.

It was an excellent plan, and the Decepticons succeeded in destroying Autobot city, its Autobot inhabitants, and their courageous leader Optimus Prime.

your very good at entertainment you should make more!

Damn so did Mirage die there

I was so bummed out in the theatre when I realized Autobot City wasn't Metroplex.

Shame we never got a "director's cut" of the movie with all the storyboards included and colored.

Daniel should have died he was so annoying...didn't like Arcee Magnus or springer

Awesome. Great work. I’m 42 and this still moves me. Absurd I know lol. I never liked how the eye balls pop up when Devastator hits the dinobot, even as a kid I thought that was stupid. We watched cartoons like this with complex vocabulary and articulate characters vs the vomit today. I learned the word ominous, dubious and so many more at the age of 6 just by the dialogue from Unicron. Had they fully brought to life that storyboard, the battle at autobot city would have been mind blowing.

The story boards give the context that the autobots we're pushing back pretty strongly on the ground level. That should have been kept in, because it connects so well with the placement of everyone.

3:33 the editing in this sequence always bugged me. As it is in the movie blitzing gets hot Rod locked on target. Hot Rod is just standing still for no apparent reason AND then it cuts to Kup who sees the situation, transforms, drives to blitzing and then has enough time to transform again, leap at him and then raise his turret before it can fire on hot rod. I think it would have worked better if it showed Kup approaching approaching blitzing well before he had hot Rod locked on target because what we have in the movie is several seconds when blitzwing can totally shoot his enemy but doesn’t purely so kup can get to him, which is a contrivance that could have been resolved with a bit of editing to change the sequence a little

Opens up even more questions when you take in to account the story boards - more Autobots decimated, couple of Decepticons as well but not many. We see Wheeljack survive, nothing about Huffer dying then Trailbreaker, Red Alert in the deleted storyboards .. Soundwave must be invincible as well because he takes a few shots from Optimus yet survives, same with Dirge before having his head caved in yet Decepticons survive Autobot gunshots etc like Insecticons and Constructicons ... Ahh well .. will never change my opinion of the movie and the aftermath. Damn you hasbro and your "new toyline" direction!!!
