Preliminary script for 1986 Transformers The Movie now available online
Please use this thread to discuss the Preliminary script for 1986 Transformers The Movie now available online news story on the main site.

Jim Sorenson has posted an update on his blog regarding the Ron Friedman auction that he won that contained the preliminary script for Transformers: The Movie (that's the 1986 film).


"Last month, a group of dedicated fans pooled their resources to attempt
to purchase a piece of Transformers history; scripts and other documents
from Transformers movie writer Ron Friedman.  Many scripts were won by
our coalition, but perhaps the most anticipated among the many documents
we purchased was an early draft of The Transformers: The Movie, dated
4/27/1985.  I've scanned it in and done a preliminary OCR pass, so
without further ado, here it is for download!
"
The script contains the dialogue for many scenes that did not make the final draft including Megatron's reference to his "Spark", action for Sunstreaker and Wheeljack and the how the fate of Earth was also going to hang in the balance.  Some of the information was already known about, like the Predacons originally being Autobots called Anibots, but what is new (at least to us) is that their names were finalised as Simba (Razorclaw), Pardo (Rampage), Shriek (Divebomb), Thump (Headstrong) and Clump (Tantrum).  Its well worth a read.
