We've got even more Generation 1 history to share with you all, courtesy of Ron Friedman's charity auction. This section of the information comes to you via 2005 Boards member kjeevahh, who has shared with us the early synopsis and character writeups - complete with handwritten notes in the margin - for the original 1986 Transformers the Movie. There's some very cool information contained within - for example, check out the "you may kill off the following robots" list on page 8 of the scanned document. There's also a long list of possible alternate names for "the entity" who eventually became Unicron (which here is just the name of the planet mode) - including Ingestor, underlined as the favored choice apparently, but also The Amalgamator, Masticar and Unitron.


Also, within these pages, the identity of the "Anibot" team is confirmed! Lion, tiger, eagle, buffalo and rhinoceros alternate modes for the members, does it sound familiar? That's right, the evil Predacons were originally going to be the heroic Anibots, an Autobot counterpoint to Devastator.

Read on and check out the full scans of this interesting piece of Transformers history!
