Have you guys checked out that rundown of the first draft of the 86 movie? There's a lot going on here
>Kup's role as the grizzled vet is instead filled by a dude named Tanker, who turns into a Sherman tank. >Springer is just kinda there, doesn't really do much>Ultra Magnus is just Magnus before getting the Autobot Matrix which is a green baby Optimus Prime>New Autobots include Rails (a triple changer that turns from Old train to Bullet Train to Snake), Chemico (A "walking Laboratory"), and Mentlar (A smart dude whose role is later filled by Perceptor)>No Spike in the movie, but there's a whole new cast of humans including an early version of Daniel>Galvatron doesn't kill Starscream, instead all the Decepticons get a powerup from Unicron (In the script it's just them getting bigger)>No Cyclonus or Scourge, but the Sweeps are in as drones that "sweep" the area for autobot survivors>The only explicitly stated deaths are Prime, Ultra Magnus, Blurr, Mentlar, and Granix (early version of Kranix)>No Rodimus Prime, no one becomes the Autobot Leader after Ultra Magnus diesIt's some serious shit
