Agreed!
And I think they made the right calls regarding the final product.

Don't get me started. In comics, too (at least when I was still reading.) What writers & pencilers used to do in a single 17-page issue now takes months!
I don't even want a continuation of the original series, it's complete as far as I'm concerned. Just something good. And hand-drawn (they still do that sometimes, Young Justice comes to mind.)
The Mapes twins, behind the Transformers @ The Moon site, have uploaded the third of five currently planned parts of the More Than Meets the Eye deleted audio recovery, featuring some more cut material from the episode of the Generation 1 cartoon. Check it out in the embedded video below!

So, there was a scene cut that had Optimus order the Autobots to switch from driving in vehicle mode to flying in robot mode. Helps make that bit of them flying to the offshore oil platform make a b it more sense... at least until you consider the later point in the series in which the show made it clear that robot mode flight was only an ubiquitous trait for the Decepticons, with only a select few Autobots capable of the same kind of flight in robot mode.

The scene where he yells at Starscream and Skywarp is a scene where the two were tossing a frisbee at each another and Megatron thought they were playing around.

So many lost treasures. Btw, was there ever a corrected copy (DVD/BD) with the Victory actually launching? It was shown in the bumper ads but not the actual episode.
The 5th and final part of MTMTE Pt1 is now up. This video continues on from the previous one where Megatron and Optimus Prime are battling it out on the oil rig. The following exchange of dialogue has just taken place:
PRIME: "Give it up, Megatron! Leave these people alone." MEGATRON: "Not until the power of the universe is mine to command!"
Within the original script it is Soundwave who interferes within the fight and not Laserbeak. This is where we re-join the action.

Okay, so here is the first part with animation added. Will start working on part two soon.
The voices have not been altered, so there is a bit of echo in there and no effects have been added to their voices. I am working on that , but no promises
ALL THE THANKS TO THE TRANSFORMERS AT THE MOON GUYS ! ( I have placed links in the description to their youtube page )

We finally have the final two parts of the recovered audio from the deleted scenes in the original Transformers animated series episode 'More Than Meets the Eye, part 1'. Courtesy of Transformers @ The Moon, the two clips embedded below see the Autobots and Decepticons engaging in battle on the oil rig, with some added stage directions from Wally Burr - check them out!

Parts of these two videos call to mind the first chorus of a certain Weird Al song.

NOTE: Shortly after the previous dialogue Megatron say the following lines. MEGATRON: You fool, Starscream! Help save the Energon cubes! Get them out of here! Follow me! NOTE: On the tape we own the line "Follow me!" is missing from this exchange.
NOTE: The tape of the recording session we own has slightly reorderd dialogue from Spike as Rumble emerges from the water. The dialogue is spaced out so that it could be cut and edited together and so we have decided not to include it within this video SPIKE WITWICKY: Hound! Hound! You all right down there? SPIKE WITWICKY: Hey! *Line order swapped* SPIKE WITWICKY: Whoa! *Line order swapped* SPIKE WITWICKY: Where's Hound? SPIKE WITWICKY: Heelp! Heeelp!
NOTE: As Act 2 closes Megatron says the following line MEGATRON: Who's the scrap metal now, Prime? You'll never stop me! (Laughs) NOTE: On the tape this is then followed by the "Follow me!" cry that was missing earlier. [ONTO ACT 3]

So the cut off line of "There's nothing we can --" was always intentional? Weird. That line being cut off mid-sentence always struck me as seeming like an error.

After listening i think these audio samples are awesome. I had a friend who recently purchased a vintage vocoder which was used to make Soundwaves voice. It's an amazing tool to use when synthesizing voices. I've noticed in certain G1 episodes where Soundwave is very monotone but in other episodes his voice is inflective and almost sing song.
It's neat to hear how crisp and clean these sound bites are.
We have some more material from the twins at Transformers @ the Moon, as they keep recovering audio from the tapes of the original generation 1 Sunbow animated series of The Transformers. This time, we look at (well, listen) to the episode Transport to Oblivion, and some extended and deleted audio in the embedded clip below - plus full transcript!
Wally Burr: Intro
*NEW* IRONHIDE: Optimus! Optimus Prime! *NEW* IRONHIDE: All systems ready for tomorrow's launch to Cybertron! *NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: At last we can return home! CLIFFJUMPER: Look out! Decepticons!
============================================== WORKER NO. 1: Hey, Ed! Turn your tape player down, will ya? WORKER NO. 2: That's not -- huh? SOUNDWAVE: Laserbeak, prepare for flight. Operation: destruction. *NEW* WORKER: Take cover! *NEW* WORKER: run for it! *NEW* WORKER: look out! *NEW* WORKER: it's firing at us! SOLAR WORKER: What is it? *NEW* SOLAR POWER STATION WORKER: Get back!
WALLY BURR: That's fine now everybody go over the base floor of this place and ...
*NEW* SOLAR POWER STATION WORKER: Get our of the way *NEW* SOLAR POWER STATION WORKER: 's coming through! *NEW* SOLAR POWER STATION WORKER: Look out! *NEW* SOLAR POWER STATION WORKER: Get back! Get Back!
SOUNDWAVE: Generators under Decepticon control
============================================== OPTIMUS PRIME: .. Roll out for the power station!
MEGATRON: Ahh, soon I will have a shipment large enough to send to Cybertron.
*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: Affix power packs and transform! *NEW* IRONHIDE: Get your pig-iron crankshafts moving and follow! SKYWARP: Autobots!
============================================== *NEW* WALLY: 84 Megatron's miscellaneous wild material for the fight, go! *NEW* MEGATRON: [Fight dialogue] *NEW* WALLY: Beautiful *NEW* WALLY: Cut for cycle, oh not that far *NEW* WALLY: Ok, for 84 an assortment of hits and strikes for Prime for b-dialogue, take one and go! *NEW* PRIME: [strikes] MEGATRON: Thanks for the power boost Prime!
============================================== MEGATRON: (Laughs) Prime is target, Soundwave! Fire! IRONHIDE: Optimus! *NEW* IRONHIDE: Hit the deck! IRONHIDE:Uhhhhh! Uhhh... OPTIMUS PRIME: Ratchet! Prowl!
============================================== MEGATRON: We have what we came for. Let's go! Until next time, Prime! *NEW* SOUNDWAVE: Lazerbeak return! *NEW* LAZERBREAK: OPTIMUS PRIME: Take Ironhide. He's hurt. RATCHET: But Megatron's getting away!
============================================== [In the final version Bumblebee and Spike's comments take place after Megatron's] STARSCREAM: Your spacebridge is worthless. BUMBLEBEE: We'd better get back to headquarters. SPIKE WITWICKY: Right! STARSCREAM: I will find a way to transport the cubes. MEGATRON: You will do nothing! The vehicle just needs guidance over the spacebridge. MEGATRON: I want a volunteer *NEW* MEGATRON: a volunteer MEGATRON: to guide the vehicle over the bridge to Cybertron
============================================== SPIKE WITWICKY: We're free!! *NEW* STARSCREAM: The captives! STARSCREAM: They're escaping! SOUNDWAVE: Ravage, eject! Operation: capture! SPIKE WITWICKY: Don't worry about me, Bumblebee! Wheel out! Go!! MEGATRON:Destroy the Autobot! *NEW* SOUNDWAVE: Ravage! Return! *NEW* STARSCREAM: We only need one volunteer *NEW* MEGATRON: Nethertheless, if that Autobot reports to his headquarters ... Prime will come to destroy the bridge! *NEW* STARSCREAM: Then we will destroy the Autobot first! *NEW* MEGATRON: No! I have a better plan ... BUMBLEBEE: Decepticons! Too close for comfort. Hope Spike's okay. New, I shouldn't have left him alone.
============================================== BUMBLEBEE: Maybe there's another way out of here. *NEW* BUMBLEBEE: Gotta hurry! BUMBLEBEE: Looks big enough. Uh-oh.
============================================== MEGATRON: And we'll have a surprise waiting for them when they arrive! *NEW* MEGATRON: Decepticons .. to the air!! OPTIMUS PRIME: Strange. No guards.
============================================== MEGATRON: And I insist that you stay .. FOREVER!! *NEW* GEARS: I knew it was a trap! *NEW* CLIFFJUMPER: Sctatter! STARSCREAM: Say your prayers, Autobot!
============================================== [Megatron fires on the cave causing it to collapse in on the Autobots] *NEW* SPARKPLUG: Thanks you protecting me Ironhide! *NEW* IRONHIDE: To quote the boss, don't mention it! BUMBLEBEE: OOhh RATCHET: Hey Bumblebee. Looks like you could use a little repair
============================================== BUMBLEBEE: I remember now! The riverbed in the desert! *NEW* PRIME: Let's get there before Megatron ships the Energon cubes OPTIMUS PRIME: Autobots! Concentrate firepower!
============================================== [After the Autobots break free and before the scene shifts to Shockwave Prime has an additional line] *NEW* PRIME: The spacebridge must be destroyed!
============================================== MEGATRON: I must get those cubes over the bridge before it closes! *NEW* PRIME: Fire! *NEW* MEGATRON: Shockwave! Deactivate the ... STARSCREAM: Return to base. *NEW* SKYWARP: But Megatron ... STARSCREAM: Megatron is dead. I'm the leader now! Follow me!

Looks like they took out the one remaining reference to the "getting ready to launch back to Cybertron in a new ship" subplot that was itself cut out from the end of MTMTE Part 3. Though, it does make sense to cut it out here since the rest of the episode never so much as mentions the launch ever again, let alone even mentions the fact that they can't just leave the Decepticons behind on Earth to do as they please with the planet. So it was probably for the better that the launch dialogue got removed.
Megatron's unmodulated voice makes him sound little like Jim Cummings.
