Transformers @ The Moon have shared some great audio from an unslugged audio recording of the Generation 1 episode Heavy Metal War, which had Optimus Prime and Megatron fight in single combat, loser gets exiled from the Earth. It’s also the episode that introduced the Constructicons and Devastator as rivals for the Dinobots.
There’s lots of great deleted and extended audio on this recording – material that has never before been shared publicly, and it is always great to hear “lost” scenes from our childhood. Heavy Metal War in particular always stood out as one of the best early episodes, and the deleted scenes only complement it further. One of the main extended scenes is from the Optimus / Megatron duel, with more exposition on the Cybertronian law of combat Megatron invokes and the abilities he acquired from his Decepticon minions. There is also a deleted scene involving Wheeljack talking about how he has upgraded the Dinobots with some fantastic dialogue from Peter Cullen as Ironhide.
Check it out in the video embedded below:

Best thing about this one is that the storyboards for the episode, including for these deleted episodes exists out there in the fandom, at TFNation we got to see these inserted into the parts fo the episode where they actually appeared

I've always loved this line from the show, so glad to hear the original dialogue without background noise:
Dinobots no fool around!

That is all.

That was awesome.
I'm super stoked whenever I see new deleted audio entries uploaded. So tragic that all this dialogue was cut.

I wish Hasbro would use all these unused audio logs and either make new animation for them (a G1 director's cut) or utilize them in the making of another G1 video game (one where you basically play through the episodes of the show).

Now I want a G1 Director's Cut.

my favourite episode of all time!
I often wonder what a fully cgi remake using the original audio and music would be like.

I need to get back on doing my extended editions of these eps, I did the first one, had the second one 90 percent done and then my pc died. Need to get a new pc and more powerful one that I have now to finish these though
Was hoping someone else would have picked up the slack but its been over a year now since I did ep 1 and no one has done it.
These do indeed make the eps better and longer, which is always something I like.
Cant say thank you enough to these guys for sharing these tapes
These are truly Gems
