And of course, there's the outline for the second script. Which is clearly drawn up by the Sunbow office and handed to Friedman. To metaphorically grab this first script by the scruff of the neck and make it get with the program. Pay particular attention to Friedman's handwritten notes...
Roundup of existing items that gain new context thanks to these revelations.
First, Floro Dery's sketch for The Entity:
Note the text "Hole to the core of The Entity.". That's referring to the porthole that becomes visible on The Entity's neck after transforming, which Hot Rod and co. use...
This was before The Secret Of Cybertron, hence why Flint had the copy for all these years.
This was the outline from the Friedman auctions in 2010
And here is the copy of the full script from those auctions (not the copy used for this presentation).
With thanks to Rich Helscher, the Sunbow Marvel Archive now plays host to all five scripts from Operation Dragonfire: the miniseries that kicked off DiC Entertainment's continuation of G.I Joe.

First up is the season 1 episode S.O.S...
With thanks to Marco Van Leeuwen, the Sunbow Marvel Archive now hosts the storyboards for G1 episode City Of Steel. This copy was previously owned by show director Nelson Shin and sent to his notoriously low-budget studio AKOM to be animated. Are the boards visually superior? You be the judge...
Thanks to an ebay store selling off a handful of scripts by writer and then-Sunbow Producer Doug Booth, I've managed to win and add the full script for season 2 episode Sea Change to the Sunbow Marvel Archive.

Some highlights from the late, great Wally Burr's notes on the part 5 script:

On Collision Course
