Um, why are people convinced he can't be dead? He was in like a half dozen pieces...

 

I'm still betting Starscream. I just can't see Airachnid dying before him, dunno why, because I despise Airachnid. I suppose Wheeljack could kick the bucket soon, but we'll probably have to see more of him first

 

You know we're talking about

Spoiler

Silas

and not Breakdown right?

 

In THIS thread? No. But I swear I keep seeing people pop up in all these threads saying that BD's not dead.

 

Either way, we'll find out soon enough. I wouldn't be too surprised if he wasn't dead. We still don't know what makes a Cybertronian enter stasis or whether his Spark was taken or not. Sure, Megatron gave reason to why we would believe he was dead, but wouldn't the inability to to locate a Cybertronian's unique signature disappear if one went into stasis--isn't stasis lock similar to death?

I wonder if we'll see someone with a duality to him...

 

I bet Knock Out to the second power.

 

It was a tough choice but I picked Airachnid.

 

Won't that make it seem like a big misconception on what we believed from the team on their own words? So decapitation and torn limbs won't kill a Cybertronian, only torso damage will do? And even then they can quickly switch to stasis? That might be the case with Cliffjumper's stabbing and Tailgate's surprise attack, but I still find it stretched a bit far.

Whatever the case with Breakdown, more than likely it won't be the same Breakdown. And if Breakdown's body did retain memories somehow to effect Silas, that will make me lose more respect. That just causes more confusion with what could have happened with previous characters, including Vehicons, that was completely ignored. I don't want that to be the case.

 

does it count as "dead" if silas abandons his body by having his intellect and personality digitized in some way. sounds like something a guy like him would want to do.

 

Airachnid. Knockout and Arcee will probably team up to beat the ever loving shit out of her in the end.

 

Don't forget to include Starscream in the mix too!  

 

He has less hatred for old spider-bitch, but maybe?

 

Sadly, I think Starscream's days are numbered. No T-Cog, No allies and too many enemies.

 

I laugh when I look at Bumblebee's results.

 

Airachnid is wanted dead by Arcee, Starscream, and Megatron himself.

And she's planning an overt coup with the Insecticon army she found.

I think we'll see big moves from her, culminating in her demise.

Maybe we will get to see others donating their T-cog to Starscream just like how Ratchet did for Bumblebee

 

But who would donate their precious T-cog to a cowardly rogue? Starscream has no allies, really; the Decepticons would either kill him or imprison him, the Autobots don't give a crap about him and Airachnid/MECH would sooner gut him for spare parts.

The poor guy's alone.

 

Return of Starscream's immortal spark?
*Shrugs*

 

THIS.

 

Ratchet ended up fixing Bee's T-cog.
