ACT 1

This episode's opening narration is different in the script, but the dialogue is cut off and can't be fully read, so I won't be listing it here.

This line was cut from the episode. It was scripted to be said after Megatron's "trouble us no further" line.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	MEGATRON Now nothing stands between us and the vast energies of this prehistoric island!

This line was cut.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	STARSCREAM But draining those energies might upset the chronological balance of this island. It already drifts precariously in the sea of time.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	STARSCREAM Yes, mighty Megatron...

The script wanted Thundercracker to appear here, but the animators used Starscream instead. Megatron also had a line in the script for this sequence, but he doesn't say it in the episode.

You can't fully read Thrust's line on the script, but it's clear part of it was cut -he doesn't say the "sense in my" part in the episode.

This was cut from the episode. It was replaced with a shot of Starscream and Soundwave reacting to the volcano erupting.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	STARSCREAM An unexplained reaction is occurring... perhaps Megatron has finally made the one error which will make me Decepticon leader!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	WHEELJACK Well, they won't do that again -at least not while they're training on Dinobot Island.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME You've done an admirable repair job, Ratchet.

In the episode, Sideswipe isn't seen here.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	WHEELJACK Teletraan I's picking up a strange energy disturbance.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	WHEELJACK It appears to be some kind of time warp. OPTIMUS PRIME (VO) Can you get a fix on it?

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	WHEELJACK (VO) No problem. It's in the vicinity of --

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME Roll out!

In the episode, Ratchet doesn't put his hand on Sparkplug's shoulder. His "help Spike" line is said immediately after his "not to worry" line, and is not a voice over. The script wanted him to say it as the Autobots leave their HQ.

Ron wrote what gibberish the barbarian should say, but in the episode it doesn't sound anything like this.

This was cut from the episode. It was scripted to happen after Huffer says his line about rush hour traffic.

In the episode, Hound's shoulder turret isn't used.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	IRONHIDE (VO-CONT) What are they?

In the episode, Huffer is seen mouthing this line, but he speaks with Hound's voice.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME Or, old ones that entered this era through that time warp!

In the episode, Prime's line here is said before it cuts to a shot of the time warp, and isn't said via voice over.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	HOUND There's something on the other side of the warp.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	HOUND (VO-CONT) And it's coming through!

This was cut from the episode. It was scripted to happen after the barbarians start arriving through the time warp.

The script wanted there to be a sign reading "costume jewelry" for this shot, but in the episode one isn't seen. Instead, you can see several small signs displaying prices. The barbarian here uses a mace rather than a sword.

This was cut from the episode.

In the episode, as Prime moves towards the camera, he says "forward!". This wasn't in the script.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	HUFFER (VO) I doubt that his insurance covers elephant damage!

In the episode, the barbarian kicks over the trash can after another barbarian attacks the fireplug, in the script it was the other way around. The barbarians are also armed with maces rather than swords.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	IRONHIDE (CONT) No? Well stick around 'till you do!

This was mostly cut -Sideswipe can be heard saying the following: "I hope your packed your trunk!", however the animators drew Sunstreaker.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME (VO) It can't be!

Huffer isn't seen closing the trailer door shut in the episode, and this line was shortened to just "What, Optimus?".

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME (VO) The time warp is closing. In a few moments...

ACT 2

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME We must get the barbarians and mammoths back through the time warp before it closes!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	HOUND Maybe we can slow it down. Ready, Sunstreaker?

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	HOUND Everybody can use a little help now and then, Sunstreaker!

Hound isn't seen using his shoulder turret in the episode, instead he raises his gun. His blasts looks exactly like Sunstreaker's: a yellow beam.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	SIDESWIPE Keep movin'!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	SPIKE Say Optimus -I know who might be able to figure out what happened...

This scene was cut.

This line for Prime was cut.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	CHIP Teletraan I should solve the mystery, Optimus Prime... with the right input.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	PERCEPTOR And if you need a true scientist to explain Beachcomber to you, don't hesitate to call on me: Perceptor!

In the episode, this line is not a voice over. The shot remains on Optimus as he says it.

This shot was cut.

This was cut from the episode, it was meant to happen after the bike gang encounters the cowboys.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	SEASPRAY According to my radar, we're almost at the time warp!

The script doesn't mention anything about one of the pirates throwing a hook onto the other boat, or Tracks shooting the hook later, but that's what is featured in the episode.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	SEASPRAY I know what you mean, Tracks. But different strokes for different blokes!

In the episode, the biker and cowboy leaders do actually start hitting each other for a few seconds.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	COWBOY OUTLAW LEADER Talkin' horseless carriages! What's next?!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	JAZZ Next, how about number one on the bottom forty!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	RED ALERT Pitch in, Inferno. Or do you want me to do it all by myself?!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	INFERNO Let me put out their fire for good!

In the episode, Perceptor and Beachcomber aren't seen using Teletraan I here.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	WHEELJACK Something is making this volcano active again!

In the episode, the second act ends after Wheeljack's "active again" line, but in the script there is some additional dialogue for Chip which was all cut.

ACT 3

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME The energy disruptions on Dinobot Island have activated this volcano as well!

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	OPTIMUS PRIME (VO) Strap on your jet packs and follow me... to Dinobot Island!

This was cut from the episode. It was scripted after Megatron's "we can always relocate" line.

In the episode, Slag's line was changed to "Huuuh... Slag tired!" whilst Swoop's line was cut entirely.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	SWOOP Good... tar off... good!

In the episode, whilst Slag is seen raising his fist, no energy crackles out of it.

In the episode, Grimlock isn't seen with a sword here.

This dialogue was all cut.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	IRONHIDE Great! Then let's make the Decepticons Decepti-crumbs!

The script has the Autobots firing a variety of projectiles, but in the episode everyone fires lasers. The script also states Beachcomber should fire lasers from his hands for this shot, but the animators drew him with a little gun. Later on in the episode he is seen firing hand lasers though.

Everything before Megatron's line here was cut.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	STARSCREAM Attack, from the sky!

In the episode, Skywarp is shown getting hit, then Thundercracker flies in and starts firing, but Starscream is heard saying this line. The script wasn't exactly clear though as it seems to suggest Skywarp "fires his null-ray", so it was probably meant to be Starscream.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	PERCEPTOR Null-ray... disrupting... electron flow...

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	BEACHCOMBER Like, I hope we don't destroy this place before we can study it -- oh wow!

Warpath doesn't say "Zorch! Zap!" in the episode.

SCRIPT	EPISODE DIALOGUE
	WARPATH (VO) Hey, Blitzwing! "Tank" you aha ha ha ha!

This was all cut from the episode, and was scripted to happen before the Dinobots land on a cliff. Had this been left in, it would have explained why the Autobots lose so suddenly.

Again, Grimlock doesn't use a sword in the episode. He raises his gun instead, and fires it a few times into the air.

Ron added some dialogue for the Decepticons to say as the dinosaurs attack them, but none of it is heard in the episode.

These shots were cut.

In the episode, Grimlock isn't seen nodding.

This was almost completely cut from the episode. In the episode's final shot, there is a force field around the island. However, I'm not sure what the deal is with this as in the first part, as Powerglide flies towards the island, there's a force field around it then as well. Later on in part one, it's seen again as Laserbeak follows the Autobots to the island.
