Two more original G1 Transformers cartoon scripts are available online, thanks again to the Sunbow Marvel Archive website. They have uploaded the original scripts and storyboards of the classic G1 episodes “S.O.S Dinobots” & “Sea Change”.
These scripts were sold from the collections of Marvel storyboard artist Brian Ray and Sunbow producer Doug Booth respectively. We have not only the scripts, but the full storyboards which are more than 150 pages long each, but we are sure it’s a totally worth reading for any Transformer fan. You can read both the script and storyboards the Sunbow Marvel Archive website.

Brawn in those SOS Dinobots storyboards looks like Space Ghost in a way I can't fully articulate

I should also note that S.O.S Dinobots now joins Heavy Metal War in having script, storyboard and deleted dialogue recordings all available. Thanks to @TF@TM

Hot on the heels of the City Of Steel storyboard set come two more to the Sunbow Marvel Archive. Sold from the collections of Marvel storyboard artist Brian Ray and Sunbow producer Doug Booth respectively.
With thanks to Ryan King, Rich Helsher and Jim Sorenson.
First up is the season 1 episode S.O.S Dinobots. Clearly a rush job, requiring six artists (David Russell, Doug Lefler, Gerald Moeller, Lindsay Dawson, Bob Smith and Brian Ray). This 141-page set chronicles the construction of the Dinobots and their subsequent rescue of the Autobots after an attempt to stop the Decepticons stealing hydro-electric energy goes wrong.
Next up is Sea Change, Doug Booth's story of love between Seaspray and the alien mermaid Alana. Drawn by the mysterious "K", this massive 160-page set is packed with deleted scenes, carried over from the first draft script added to the Archive earlier this month. Those of you who have read the first draft script may be disappointed (or relieved) to learn that Baby Bumblebee and his parents will not be making an appearance in these boards.
To view both, head on over to: The Sunbow Marvel Archive: MP 700 The Transformers, Part 1 1984 – 1985 (Sunbow Productions/Marvel Productions)
