This is our third entry within our Original Marvel Productions / Sunbow Production Audio Tape project which is seeing us digitise some of the original studio tapes used during production (slugged and unslugged taped) and then share the additional and changed dialogue with fans in a series of YouTube videos.

You can listen to today's entry using the plugin below. Some notes as well a transcript of the changes / additional scenes.

Notes:

Even though Soundwave is listed as having spoken the first line on Earth in the scripts for this episode it is still Skywarp who speaks the lines.

Teletraan 1's repairing of the Optimus Prime was not in the original recording with the scene jumping from Starscream straight onto Megatron preparing their new base of operations.

*** Extra Dialogue Starts ***

MEGATRON: ... convert the area for construction

STARSCREAM: What about materials?

MEGATRON: Use your imagination!

*NEW* MEGATRON: Skywarp, Thundercracker, coming with me!

STARSCREAM: Well? Any ideas?

*** Extra Dialogue Ends ***

*** Extended Dialogue and off key Rumble vocals start ***

STARSCREAM: Someday I'll be giving the orders, Rumble. You'll do what I say.

RUMBLE: Look, Starscream. Megatron is strong. He's merciless. He can't be beaten, and you'll never be our leader.

STARSCREAM: I will find a way. Everyone has a weakness.

RUMBLE: Yeah? Well, not Megatron.

STARSCREAM: We shall see. Now, shake things up a little!

STARSCREAM: I'm impressed!

*NEW* STARSCREAM: It's working!

*NEW* STARSCREAM: I'm glad you're on our side, Rumble

HOUND: Sure is a lot different than Cybertron out here.

*** Extended Dialogue and off key Rumble vocals Ends ***

*** Extended scene as Hound and Cliffjumper watch the Decepticons - Some dialogue different to the Ron Friedman script ***

MEGATRON: (Laughs) How ironic. By leading us to this planet, the Autobots have sealed their own doom.

*NEW* SKYWARP: These things are heavy Thundercracker. Why do we have to carry them?

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: I can't wait till the Autobots are our slaves so they can do all the work.

*NEW* MEGATRON: Skywarp! How dare you question the task!

*NEW* SKYWARP: We ... we just thought

*NEW* MEGATRON: You are not to think, you are to do!

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: We're sorry Megatron, We

*NEW* MEGATRON: Silence!

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: It won't happen again.

*NEW* MEGATRON: I don't think it will!

HOUND: Cliffjumper! What are you doin'?!

CLIFFJUMPER: I've got Megatron dead center in my viewfinder.

*NEW* HOUND: But Prime said

*NEW* CLIFFJUMPER: Prime isn't here, we are!

[Decepticon's react to Cliffjump firing]

*NEW* THUNDERCRACKER: What was that?

*NEW* [Unknown character]: Where'd that come from?

*NEW* [Unknown character]: Look out!

SKYWARP: Who could be firing on us

THUNDERCRACKER: Who even knows we're here?

STARSCREAM: The Autobots.

MEGATRON: Impossible!

STARSCREAM: They're the only ones!

MEGATRON: Soundwave, send Laserbeak to investigate!

SOUNDWAVE: Laserbeak, prepare for flight. Course heading: northeast.

*NEW* SOUNDWAVE: Operation reconnaissance

HOUND: Now you've done it!

CLIFFJUMPER: Let's burn rubber!

*** Extended scene as Hound and Cliffjumper watch the Decepticons ***

*NEW* CLIFFJUMPER: Hang tough Hound - We're comin!!

RATCHET: Where's they get you?

THUNDERCRACKER: Okay, Reflector. Let's see what you can see.

*NEW* SKYWARP: Starscream - look what I found.

*NEW* STARSCREAM: What is it?

*NEW* SKYWARP:Don't know, some Earth gadget I guess. Here

*NEW* STARSCREAM: I don't want it, you keep it!

*NEW* MEGATRON: This is no time for games, Starscream. Get to work,  like all the others!

*NEW* STARCREAM: Don't tell me what to do, Megatron! I'm not like the others. I do what I want, when I want!

*NEW* MEGATRON: No Starscream ... as long as I am the leader of the Decepticons, you will do exactly as I tell you to. 

THUNDERCRACKDER: Thundercracker to Soundwave. Thundercracker to Soundwave.

*EXTENDED* BOTH WORKMAN: [Body english as they scramble when Ravage acts] 

*NEW* WORKMAN #2 (NOT JOE): Get in!

*NEW* JOE: Step on it!

HOUND: And that's all we heard, Prime. They're gonna put the energy in some kind of cube, then haul it back to Cybertron.

*NEW* PROWL: We better warn the people of Earth.

*NEW* JAZZ: They'd never believe us, Prowl.

*NEW* PRIME: Jazz is right. It's up to us to stop them. We brought them here.

*NEW* HOUND: From what I saw, this planet's a pretty place. Hate to see something happen to it

*NEW* HOUND: Hey Ratchet! Be careful!
