My mind boggles that this draft even still exists. I look forward to perusing it when less cabbaged.

Instead of the matrix, there is a tiny glowing Optimus Prime!

Highlights for me on a first reading:
- Sweeps seem to be land vehicles
- Cyclonus and Scourge and their respective armadas being made from the GHOSTS OF LONG DEAD DECEPTICONS
- Prime being a small glowing ghost (explaining the white Prime inside the Ultra Magnus toy?)
- Ingestor (Unicron) being extremely hairy!
- Ingestor trapping Galvatron in his eyebrow and attacking Arcee with his shoulder hair!
- Magnus's plan on the planet of Junk revolving round inflatable clones!
- The Anibots turning into DRAGON BEAST
- Good god, the Quintessons being super creepy like something from a horror film!
- Stone robots! Glass robots!
- Galvatron revealing he is Megatron in the climatic battle against Rodimus!
- Perceptor karate-chopping sweeps in half!
- Junkions as mad-max style trikes and tanks with nazi hats!
- Ingestor repeatedly slapping himself in the face during the endgame!
- Optimus Prime's ghost blowing up Ingestor!
Amazing, amazing stuff!

Oh...some of the dialogue seems a bit dated and wrong
"Penetrate! We shall Penetrate!!!" "Penetrate! Mmmmmmm!"

Certainly puts paid to Flint Dille's claims that he wrote most of the film from scratch. It would appear he did a polish on it rather than originate much of the ideas/structure.

This could have been from after a bulk of the re-writing. Nowt says it's 100% Friedman original - he just had it in his possession to auction for the same reason he has all the other scripts that have been auctioned off, 'cause he was the show's dialogue-polisher before the movie. |

Downlaod took a while - though thankfully not the 22 days predicted at one point. I look forward to reading this tonight.

If you count yourself as a Transformers fan at all, reading the script is essential.
Target 2006 makes more sense if you imagine the actual Movie to be more like the draft script!

Furman probably used this script as the basis for 2006's background since he didn't use the final script for it If I remember correctly |

Furman probably used this script as the basis for 2006's background since he didn't use the final script for it If I remember correctly Nah, since Target: 2006 mentions the Matrix too, which wasn't in this draft. It is easy to see where the term 'Life Spark' came from though (I believe Furman just had a synopsis of the movie rather than a script to work from). Season 3 makes a lot of sense from this script: The Decepticon's super energon-depleted state in Five Faces of Darkness makes a lot more sense, since they explicitly gave all their energon to Ingestor. In Episode 2 of Five Faces of Darkness, Rodimus says "My time in the light is short..." and Arcee mentions that's what Prime said when he was dying. Only he didn't. But he DID in this draft of the script! Starscream's ghost appears once his statue is smashed... and in this script, we see that Decepticon life sparks are enshrined in statues! |

It also explains why that Insecticon was explicitly called for on the scene on the Planet of Junk, since he wasn't killed off in the earlier scripts, it was just a ghost who was turning into a sweep

Possible, my knowledge of the movie's production is limted. I just went by the date and credit on page 1. It's certainly a very enjoyable read. -Ralph |
