Unused Gen1 cartoon story proposal

[griffin]

According to one of the cartoon writers who submitted story ideas for the original Gen1 cartoon, this was one that was proposed, but never used (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/unused-greg-weisman-g1-episode-pitch-the-eye-of-the-beholder/25409/).

It was called "Eye of the Beholder", and was another story that had a Quintesson trying to create conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons.

Reading through it, I can see why it didn't make the cut.

Yeah that is an interesting idea.

Why would the Quint want to start a war between the Autobots and Decepticons? Haven't they been doing that for like 4 million years?:rolleyes:

Art? I think this was in interesting idea. Could have been developed, I think I would have liked it. Would have been way better than C-Minor. AND it was a season three episode with Bumblebee an actual original character (something that did not happen often in season 3)

I think the implication was that it was supposed to be a Mutually Assured Destruction kind of war - it "has a 97% probability of starting a devastating war" (italics mine.) This is the kind of script that would have fit in well with much of the silliness of season three, and yes - seems better than the 'worst' episodes.
