That was a weird show so it's not a surprise that it didn't catch on.

Yes, that's the Hamm script. You can actually find it online if you're curious. In Hamm's script, Veidt's plan is to go back in time and stop Dr. Manhattan from being created. (At which Rorschach says: "And they call me a loving nut.") Instead, he gets vaporized by Dr. Manhattan before he can put his plan in motion.

IIRC, the Solid Snake script was the one Alan Moore... I don't want to say liked, but perhaps hated the least.

I believe the story also ended with "Rorschach lets out his trademark hiss"

You know, that hiss that Rorschach is so known for

I pulled up the screenplay just to see how bad this is. It's like someone made an R-rated Avengers movie.

quote:

7. POV SHOT - THROUGH BINOCULARS
A magnified view of the SPECK, which turns out to be a
futuristic, blimplike HOVERCRAFT -- the OWLSHIP.

SWAT CAPTAIN (O.S.)
Christ almighty, it's the goddamned Watchmen!

8. INT. OWLSHIP - THAT MOMENT
In the cabin we find THREE COSTUMED SUPERHEROES: the
red-and-gold suited CAPTAIN METROPOLIS; RORSCHACH, whose
face is a shifting inkblot mask; and NIGHT OWL, who's
manning the instrument panel.

NIGHT OWL
Okay, Adrian, we're in position. What now?

He looks up at a monitor mounted over the controls. ADRIAN
VEIDT, blond scientific wizard, answers pensively from
Watchmen HQ:

VEIDT
(on monitor)
Let's take out their communications. Drop the scrambler.

quote:

34. EXT. LIBERTY ISLAND - THAT MOMENT - DAY -- as a
LUMINOUS BLUE-SKINNED GIANT, SIXTY FEET TALL, wades through
the harbor and steps up onto the island. He stares in
dismay at the demolished statue . . . like a modern-day
Colossus of Rhodes wondering what the hell happened to his
date.

Meet the last -- and most powerful -- member of our happy
band: DR. MANHATTAN.

Down below, THE COMEDIAN and SILK SPECTRE -- battered but
intact -- are crawling out of the wreckage. The COMEDIAN
looks up at the huge blue figure looming over them, and
shakes a gnat-sized fist:

COMEDIAN
rear end in a top hat! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!?

quote:

241. EXT. VORTEX EFFECT
DREIBERG, LAURIE and RORSCHACH spinning and tumbling
through an otherdimensional funhouse of sound and color.
If space and time could be compressed into a single
extravagant E-ticket joyride, this would be it. Their
bodies contract and distend, warp and elongate; their
tortured mouths emit soundless shrieks; and then, before
they know it, they find themselves deposited --

242. EXT. NEW YORK STREET - NIGHT
-- smack in the middle of a busy intersection. The three
of them materialize from nowhere; a southbound VAN swerves
to avoid them, slamming into a row of parked cars, and a
northbound TAXICAB does the same, knocking over a fire
hydrant.

LAURIE
Dan, is this -- is this New York??

DREIBERG
Those cars. What year is this??

LAURIE
Everything's changed --

It's a disorienting world they've landed in. In fact, it's
our world, our New York, and everything -- the cars, the
clothing, the very look of the city -- seems just a trifle
out of whack . . .

RORSCHACH
Hnrrrrr -- we never happened.

BYSTANDERS cluster about, laughing and taunting, highly
amused by the obvious puzzlement of the freakish trio in
their midst. There are, of course, no costumed heroes in
our world, and their sudden presence prompts a Babel of
speculation among the onlookers: Nuts? Fruits?
Out-of-work actors?

RORSCHACH takes a swing at one of the curious, who gets a
touch too close, and the mood begins to turn hostile. The
CROWD, now grown to several dozen people, is threatening to
block the intersection altogether; a MOUNTED POLICEMAN rides
up on his stallion and blows a shrill WHISTLE.

DREIBERG
Oh my God, they still ride around on horses!

243. EXT. NEWSSTAND - THAT MOMENT
The same newsstand we've seen all along -- but luckily,
here in our world, the headlines are only mildly
discouraging: "RUSSIAN SUMMIT TALKS COLLAPSE." Like
everyone else, our old friend the NEWS VENDOR is gapin at
the ruckus on the street.

NEWS VENDOR
Jesus Christ, it must be Halloween.

His sidekick, the small black KID who reads comic books,
points to the befuddled trio on the street and LAUGHS in
gleeful recognition.

KID
poo poo, man! It's Rorschach! And Night Owl!

NEWS VENDOR
What are you talkin' about?

KID
Superheroes! Check it out!

He thrusts a COMIC BOOK into the NEWS VENDOR's hand and
races off to join the growing throng of rubberneckers. The
NEWS VENDOR stares down at the costumed characters in the
comic book -- "WATCHMEN" -- then throws a cockeyed squint
at their real-life counterparts on the street.

KID
All right! They must be on a case.

244. EXT. STREET - THAT MOMENT - NIGHT
HORNS BLARE. ALL TRAFFIC HAS STOPPED. The intersection is
mobbed with curious ONLOOKERS. By now a half-dozen BEAT
COPS have arrived to clear the streets and restore order.

COP I
Break it up! Stand back!

COP II
Come on, you three. If this is some kind of publicity
stunt --

DREIBERG, LAURIE, and RORSCHACH have fallen into a tight
circle. They don't know what to expect and they're poised
for a brawl. The taunting crowd gives them plenty of room;
even the COPS are hesitant to advance.

LAURIE
Dan -- what do we do now?

DREIBERG
(panicked)
Wherever we are, it's better than what we left. Backs
together --

LAURIE
We'll tell them what's happened. They'll listen to reason,
won't they -- ?

RORSCHACH
They'd better.

And on RORSCHACH's final vicious HISS, we SHOCK CUT TO
BLACK and

FADE OUT.

THE END

That's fantastic. I really dig that level of injoke.

Fun facts

1) The Gobots predate the Transformers. Transformers are the RIP offs.

2) The Gobots origins are they were all organics. Then some cosmic phenomena fused all people with nearby machines. Hench why some people are planes and trucks.
We learn this fact in the Gobots versus the Rock Lords movie where the same thing happened on another planet...only those guys got fused with rocks instead of cool machines.

3) The leader of the good Gobots was the aptly named Leader One.
The head of the Autobots was Optimus Prime.

Optimus was a Latin word for Officer or Leader.
Prime was a Latin word for First.
So they basically had the same name.
