With thanks to turbobluestreak for his hard work and to the man himself for his permission, the Sunbow Marvel Archive now hosts part of Paul Davids' collection of Transformers cartoon production material, saved from his time as episode writer and Production Coordinator on seasons 2 and 3.

The latest additions center around his final episode of the series: Grimlock's New Brain


  • The initial premise, submitted at the beginning of Season 3 in March 1986 and repitched in the summer, with accompanying memo to his Sunbow counterpart Elise Goyette
  • Autobot Park, an initial premise to bring the Technobots into the series
  • Creation Of The Technobots, which combines ideas from the above two premises.  There are four revisions of the full outline document, with feedback from Roger Slifer and Marv Wolfman
  • The first draft and final scripts for Grimlock's New Brain
  • Full storyboards (currently the pages are each scanned in two parts, a solution is being worked on).
  • Series update memo from late September 1986 showing progress on the latter half of Season 3
  • Early, more toy-based character models for Computron, Nosecone, Afterburner, Strafe and Lightspeed
