Here are layout frame drawings I have been working on. I included here some screen-grabs from the original cartoon to give a comparison of what was already done. As to what I intend to do with this.
The synopsis of Wedworld
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Looking for a substance called "Isodryte", the Decepticons (Galvatron, Cyclonus, Sweeps, Soundwave) find some deposits on an asteroid. BUT the Autobots found the Isodryte first and are collecting it for themselves! A battle breaks out and in the skirmish Galvatron spends more effort bashing up his own troops more than bashing Autobots (much to the amusement of the Autobots). After the humiliating loss, Cyclonus tries to save some grace with the other Decepticons on Charr about Galvy. But they don't buy it and warn Cyclonus that if he doesn't do something about Galvatron's insanity - they'll mutiny and toss him out as well! Cyclonus is approached by the Quintessons, they propose that he take Galvy to "Torkulon", basicly a planet that is an insane assylum. However Cyclonus is unaware that the Quints are setting it up so they can get rid of Galvatron for themselves.
Cyclonus persuades Galvy to come to Torkulon. The Torkulon's get ahold on Galvy, much to his anger. Galvy is mighty pissed off at being dupped by Cyclonus into bringing him to this planet. Cyclonus might see it as an intervention - but Galvatron sees it as betrayal and is completely enraged. Galvy keeps screaming and howling in vain, "I will destroy you all!!" "Let me out of here or I will gut this entire planet!!" The Torkulons (along with Cyclonus, and Scourge*) put Galvatron thru a series of mental "treatments". Hypnosis therapy, crafts therapy, and acting therapy ... all of which Galvatron resists and all totaly fail. (*note - what makes this episode most noteable is the treatments Galvy has to go thru. It's humorous to see a evil robot of death and destruction be put thru psychriatric treatments like talking to a therapist, and then almost killing him. *maybe I'll make the hypnosis therapist Torkulon look like Dr. Phil!! XD )
At the last treatment, after all others have failed the Torkulons break out their most powerfull "Treatment" scheme avaible. The very planet itself - a giant cybornetic computer network - attempts to patch itself into Galvatron's damaged central Meta-Processor and erase it. As Galvy is being restrained, Cyclonus realizes what the Torkulons are doing and tries to intervene, but they hold him back. Galvatron panics, the planet wraps him up with it's bug-like creatures and injects webbing like wires into him. It succeeds in getting into his digital processor, but somehow Galvatron overwrties the process and all hell starts to break loose on the surface of the planet. Cyclonus states "It's been infected with Galvatron's madness!"
Galvy breaks free and seeks out the central network core of Torkulon. Which he transforms into his ultra-cannon mode and blasts it! With the network destroyed, Galvatron takes his anger out on the remaining bits of the planet and devastates it. After a while Cyclonus persuades him that they should get back to bothering the Autobots once again.

The thing about this episode is that 1, it deals almost strictly with the bad guys and their inner dramas. And 2 - it's an awesome psycho drama. A ton of character development was built between Cyclonus and Galvatron in Webworld. Galvatron does indeed destroy a whole planet, and this time no Autobots came to save the MFing day. The inner exploration of the characters is awesome in this one - credit this to the writers. After this episode Galvy becomes a little more "tempered". Not much, but a little. How do you fix a mad robot? Knowing what fans know know-a-days about robots and all the other TF universes, a lot more can be put into this episode. But it really is a defining episode of season 3 - G1 series.
