Well they didn't get too far with this cover before the idea was scrapped. Too bad, I like it more than what they went with, since you have the whole team taking on Juggie.

I couldn’t find a better copy, but it’s an unused cover by George Perez for Green Lantern 145, which I of course like better than the one they went with

Regarding the Golden cover there's a few "finished" versions out there that look like they were done by fans. Although he might have done this one himself. Anyway, here's one...
I found this quote by Jim Shooter as to why the cover was rejected....
This cover may have been a last-minute replacement for one by Michael Golden. The Golden cover showed Rogue holding a defeated Thor and Iron Man above her head. The other Avengers are lying among debris on the ground. An image of Ms. Marvel partially covers the series title. Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter's signature appears in a production box below the picture area on the original. In a November 23, 2011 comment on his website, Shooter wrote, "... at a glance, I'd guess that Golden's cover wasn't used because he didn't allow room for the contest banner at the top, which we were obligated to run. The cover that did run looks like it was cobbled together at the last minute. The Golden cover appears to have my signature on it, meaning I approved it. Maybe someone upstairs noticed that the contest banner was missing. But, I don't know for sure."

The Marvel Database states that this was an unpublished cover for DD #162
But for some reason, the pin-up asseverates that this was supposed to be for DD #164

Unused cover for Sword of the Atom. They did two mini's back to back so I'm not sure which one this one was for. But it's 1984 so it might have been for the second one.
