This page is to store entries for the Commercial page that I've written up, but for some reason or another they're not yet ready to be added to the page. Or pages as the case may become.

1985

  • 30 second cartoon promo [1] / [2]
Animation: Various cartoon excerpts which are mostly from Season One episodes. A clip of the Sub-Atlantican General firing at the Autobots from Atlantis, Arise!, which is used in the Monday-Friday collage, is the most notable exception.
Narration: Victor Caroli, various local TV station announcers
Notes: The Season Two theme is played in the background as Victor Caroli informs us that we can "Watch the heroic Autobots battle the evil Decepticons five days a week." The Caroli narrated segment was sent to the various local TV stations who then added narration and a screen with the station logo and slogan to the end of the spot. This type of customized promo would continue with Generation 2 and Beast Wars.
The Transformers are like nothing you've ever seen before. Don't miss a single day!
  • 15 second cartoon promo [3]
Animation: Various cartoon excerpts from the first two seasons, though mostly Season One.
Narration: Victor Caroli and Optimus Prime
Notes: This spot reuses the animation clips from the collage in the previous commercial. However, instead of using them in a collage, a screen flipping transition is used to go from one to the next. The local station end screen was modified to include a small clip of Optimus Prime standing up. To go along with this, a Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime narration was added in the format of "Weekdays at [insert time here] on [insert station call letters here]." Considering he may have done as many as 259 versions of the narration (there are 259 television markets in the U.S.), that must have been a long day at the office for Mr. Cullen!

1986

  • 30 second cartoon promo [4] / [5]
Animation: Various Season One and Two excerpts.
Narration: Victor Caroli, various local TV station announcers.
Notes: In addition to the customized end tag, a text overlay in that station's style was placed over several scenes early in the spot. Uses the Season 3/Season 4 theme. Three different Megatron quotes are used.
"We'll be waiting!"
  • 30 second cartoon promo #2 [6]
Animation: Various Season Two excerpts.
Narration: Victor Caroli, various local TV station announcers.
Notes: Uses Season Three/Season Four theme.
It's the incredible adventures of the Transformers. Watch as Heroic Autobots bravely battle Evil Decepticons every Monday through Friday. Don't miss a single day!

1987

  • The Return of Optimus Prime promo [7]
Animation: Excerpts of the Optimus Prime death scene and Prime vs. Megatron from The Transformers: The Movie.
Narration: Victor Caroli and various local TV announcers.
Notes: Features Unicron's Theme as the background music.
"It's over Prime." "Never!" Hang on Autobots, it's not over! Optimus Prime returns, February 24th and 25th on The Transformers.
  • Optimus Prime week [8] – Same as above commercial but re-narrated with the removal of "Never!" and changed to speak of a whole Optimus Prime week.
"It's over Prime." Wrong Megatron! It's just the beginning!
  • Season 4 cartoon promo [9]
Animation: A set of excerpts from The Transformers: The Movie almost identical to those used for the Return of Optimus Prime and Optimus Prime week spots.
Narration: Victor Caroli, trying to exclaim every line more dramatically than the last and various local TV station announcers.
Notes: Features a brand new piece of background music incorporating the Transformers theme. Similar in sound to the music Vince DiCola composed for The Transformers: The Movie.
Autobots versus Decepticons. Good against evil. Metal against metal!
  • Season 4 cartoon promo #2 [10]
Animation: Excerpts from The Transformers: The Movie and Rebirth. A scene from the movie of Hot Rod and Kup watching Decepticon missiles come back towards their shuttle has the view from the shuttle's “windshield” replaced with crude CGI to make it look like they're flying through a Decepticon base. At least it kind of, sort of looks like a base. Ok, not really. A shot of a crude CGI Optimus Prime closes out the commercial.
Narration: Victor Caroli, various local TV station announcers.
Notes: Features the same new music used in the previous commercial.
They're more, much more than you've ever imagined! The Transformers. Watch as the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons reaches an incredible new level.
