In the finished film, this is changed to a one-piece bathing suit, with more "open" staging as she throws Thrasher into the lake.Īs the Dreadnoks make their escape from the stockade with Serpentor, Jinx puts on her blindfold and charges the Thunder Machine with a sword.

The scene made it to the first draft storyboards, where the decision was made to revise the shot to a two-piece bathing suit. This was added intentionally to gain the film a PG rating, akin to the swearing added to Transformers The Movie. Confirming that Falcon and Jinx have a relationship and giving context to her anger during their scene in the motorpool on pg.58.Īs Zarana drops her "Heather" disguise by the lake, she is topless (shown from behind). The two Rawhides originally ran the course separately instead of simultaneously.Īs Jinx escorts her off the premises, "Heather" makes a realisation: "Don't tell me he stood you up for l'il ol' moi?". With Beachhead explaining and showing the various booby traps beforehand, instead of referencing "surprises". Tunnel Rat and Big Lob's training exercise is heavily compressed. The initial scene of Beachhead inspecting the Rawhides was a last minute addition to the script, with the team members initially intended to be introduced separately in the scenes that follow. When Serpentor fights him and throws the boa constrictor, Duke dodges and the snake hits the main dish of the B.E.T "and FRIES to a crisp".Īs Cobra retreats through the Himalayas, a frozen Motor Viper falls from his turret and is left to die in the snow. In the finished film, this is played down by being staged as a scream heard through a security monitor.ĭuring the first battle of the B.E.T, the scene of Duke being nicked in the arm by a laser blast is absent. The first of these deaths occurs at the beginning of the film when a Viper searching for Pythona, is ambushed by her and backhanded off the roof of the Terrordome. The movie takes this approach to the logical next step as, though the script direction is not always 100% explicit, it is clear that several characters die throughout the course of this film. Most of his stories would have a character be seriously injured to drive the point home. One key theme that Buzz Dixon included throughout his Joe TV scripts was that "war is not a game". All of these scenes were likely cut because they re-tread ground that had been well-covered by the TV series. Then finally page 167 where Flint and Lady Jaye are flirting with each other in the middle of a firefight. where Wetsuit and Leatherneck are bickering with each other as they set the charges to breach Cobra-La. Such as page 119 where the Crimson Twins' psychic bond proves to be their undoing in a fight. There are various smaller cut scenes over the course of the film.
