"Transformers Animated Pitch Document" is the title given to a sixty page PDF file outlining many concepts developed during the production of Transformers Animated. Released by fansite The Allspark on September 19, 2016, the document contains scanned pages from Animated 's production bible, as well as sundry other pieces of concept art.
Owing to... circumstances, the document is no longer online for view at its original location, but TFWiki.net has provided an archived copy below.
Show bible
The first thirty-two pages of the document consist of a revision of the Animated show bible, dated to March 27, 2006, and written by Marty Isenberg. Isenberg sets the scene of 22th Century Detroit – or "De-Droid" – as a hot spot of technological advancement; one that is ripe for exploitation by all manner of super-villains, ranging from low-level human hackers to space-faring Decepticons. This preface positions the Autobots as the heroes to save the day – fitting, as during earlier stages of production, the show was named "Transformers: Heroes".
