  • Unproduced pilot miniseries/Season 1 intro sequence
  • More Than Meets The Eye, Part 2
  • More Than Meets The Eye, Part 3
  • Transport To Oblivion
  • Roll For It
  • The Ultimate Doom, Part 3

  • Unproduced Season 2 intro sequence
  • Unproduced commercial bumper

Additionally, a quartet of story premises, written by storyboard artist Wendell Washer during early Season 2, have also become available. Along with the early version of the 1985 New Product briefing he was given for reference. Three of the unused stories focus on Omega Supreme (then under the working name of Fortress Maximus), and a fourth focusing on Seaspray.

All of these can be viewed at The Sunbow Marvel Archive: MP 700 The Transformers, Part 1 1984 - 1985 (Sunbow Productions/Marvel Productions)

Below is an animatic, edited by me, of the unproduced season 2 intro sequence:
