Courtesy of the Sunbow and Marvel Script/storyboard Archive we can share for your a great piece of Transformers history: Megatron’s Master Plan, Part 2 storyboards.
Read on for the information shared about this material:
Drawn by Keith Tucker, they cover the Additional Material insert that was added to Act 3 of the episode. As Don Glut’s script ran three to four minutes short of the required runtime. This copy was sent to Flint Dille, in his role as Associate Producer of the show and was uncovered from his storage in late 2020.
You can see this storyboard (and more) in the original Sunbow and Marvel Script/storyboard Archive post or alternatively, you can see a mirrored image on this news post. Be sure to click on the discussion link below and share your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Well, the set your script came from is out there somewhere, scattered to the winds. I've managed to source 7 first drafts in total (from this set and other sources), so 55 left to go.

Really glad that it was of use to you.
This type of stuff should be available to share with all.

Yeah, Greg Weisman posted it in a Gargoyles Q&A forum in 2012. I got it down as a transcript PDQ. He was young and trying to break in to animation writing back then. He finally managed to get in just as the run was ending, on the Jem episode Video Wears.

I run the Sunbow and Marvel Script/storyboard Archive (Sunbow and Marvel Productions Script/Storyboard Archive). In the past week, I have received a contributions of scans for Marvel Productions storyboards from the G1 episode Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2.
Drawn by Keith Tucker, this Additional Material section was needed as Don Glut's script ran short by approximately 3 or 4 minutes. The storyboards were found by Flint Dille, who was clearing out his storage late last year. Auctioned off on his behalf and scans contributed by the new owner.
