"The Rainbow of Darkness, that darkness sends. NOW BEGIN THE NIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS!" Full Act III storyboards are up

As you may have seen recently, the Sunbow Marvel Archive received the Transformers portion of paperwork from the estate sale of storyboard artist Wendell Washer. I was able to get the word to the MLP G1 fanbase, and that material is now in the hands of a fan who is in the process of getting...

Some more info on lost series The Young Astronauts, thanks to these dialogue reels.

Added to the Sunbow Marvel Archive this month is a plethora of G1 cartoon material, with storyboards from the following: 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...

While tremendous progress had been made in acquiring scripts and storyboards from the G1 cartoon in the last couple of years, bringing the total of episodes covered to 62 out of 98. I wish to make this appeal to the fanbase. If anyone out there has script or storyboard that can help bring the...

"Stripes" while we're at it

So close, yet so far

Now up at the Sunbow Marvel Archive are early storyboards for The Transformers The Movie. Covering the initial third of the film before jumping to Unicron's transformation. Working from a slightly earlier version of the script, they include more brutal deaths for the shuttle crew, as well as...

Off the Rails

Some more material originating from Flint Dille's storage has been granted release. After Ron Friedman's two attempts to create an outline for the Super Sunday anthology show Bigfoot And The Muscle Machines, Flint was tasked to take over the project. The Archive is pleased to add...

Received a full 63 page book of Season 1 backgrounds and equipment models. As the owner did not want to unbind the book and risk wear and tear, the results are not perfect, but they'll do: https://sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/mp-700-transformers-part-1-1984-1985.html

In 2010, screenwriter Ron Friedman consigned many scripts and reference material from his days writing for Sunbow Productions in the mid-80s, to be sold by Heritage Auctions. A group effort by fans, coordinated by Jim Sorenson, saw 31 Transformers TV scripts, briefing binders and the second...

Been using an online scanning service on the photos of production material I've gathered. Done the business for copies Romeo Tanghal found some months back of Floro Dery's concept art, based on Ron Friedman's second TFTM script. All of the pieces can be found at...

This was all the relevant stuff that was bought by an ebay store from the family's estate sale. There was quite a bit of Hanna-Barbera audition sheets from the mid-80s to the early 90s, quite a lot of mainstream brand commercial work. I'm beginning to get the picture that the mammoth amount of...

The Sunbow Marvel Archive now hosts a sizeable chunk of Transformers paperwork that once belonged to G1 voice director Wally Burr. Some revised items are awaiting full scans, but in the meantime there is: Full scripts and call sheets for Five Faces Of Darkness, Parts 2-5 and The Killing Jar...

Thanks to Monzo over at tfwiki, the Archive now has the earliest Marvel Comics treatment for Inhumanoids. Written by Tom DeFalco when the toyline was known as The Force Of Light, some of the earliest building blocks for the property can be found within...

In fairness, though they spent much of the 1980s rehashing old ideas, H-B knew that the animated versions of the Globetrotters had pretty much had their day by the end of the 70s. And this is the company whose other big syndication effort the same year as Gobots was to do 41 more episodes of...

Trouble is, worthpoint stopped putting dates on item entries a while ago, so who knows how long ago it was sold.

The front page doesn't give away much, just that Cop-Tur will be replaced (presumably as a mark of respect to the late Bob Holt) and the other main cast would still be around, but downplayed in favour of new characters.
