I was thinking, if this was a true story, then you wouldn't be able to kill any of the main characters because they all appear in G1. I seem to remember that they said they where trying to tell a part of the story that's never been told before, so will you not be able to kill the main characters?
I think it doesn't matter if they end up on the brink of death or not, there could be some deus ex machina that will allow them to be repaired or brought back in some form. Has happened in each continuity and well, I don't see why it doesn't have a possibility of happening here
Ehh, you can tell a lot of story without killing anyone. Many of the greatest stories ever told don't involve anyone dying. Granted, this is a story about a WAR, but this is also a story about nearly indestructable virtually immortal robots at war, so realism is already out the window... I wouldn't worry about it much. D/L
I don't think anything featuring giant transforming robots is a true story. Yet. Lol For my real answer this could become an alternate reality if they really wanted to kill someone off
That why from a story perspective I´m not that hypped for this game. Knowing the fates of some of the characters in advance ruins the the mood for me. Another reason why I don´t bother watching Clone Wars for example and why I despise prequels.
I foresee a lot of main characters getting stasis locked throughout the telling of this story. Those not so main, well I think they'll have a bit more coming too them.
WHy are people think so much about this game? Who cares what happens yes it may be somewhat G1 based but its A GAME....that dosent follow all G1. Its not like OP is gonna die at the end or somthing just play the game and dont worry so much about this stuff.... people are overthinking every aspect of the game!
More to the point, think how many times somebody died in Transformers. Yeah, didnt last long did it? I assume boss battles with established characters will involve damaging them to the point where they have to retreat, giving them room to pop up later. I'd hazard a guess that most bosses will either be big machines or various upgraded cannon fodder determined to stall you or at the very least briefly annoy you. Or I could be totally wrong and important guys will get slaughtered left and right and they can be revived later on via the power of friendship/courage/determination/etc
