    The Protectobots and Mirage haven't returned yet. Sunstreaker left the Lost Light to stay on Cybertron after Dark Cybertron, and just joined the cast of exRiD on Earth.

    James Roberts has said that the Protectobots and Mirage would eventually return to the Lost Light. Sunstreaker was recently seen in Not-RID 50 so there's a chance he could return to the Lost Light when All Hail Optimus ends.

    Eh... I have serious doubts about that. He's been off the Lost Light for 20+ issues, long before AHO or CW started. Plus, one interview made it sound like he's becoming a regular cast member in exRiD, and while AHO's initial arc is only a six-parter, it sounds like the overall story's going to be a lot longer than that.

    Also, Roberts has said on Twitter that he doesn't actually have any plans for Drift and Ratchet's return at the moment. I hope they come back though Ratchet was my favorite character.

    *takes notes*


    That's more or less TFWIKI. Wow. We have a LOT of characters that aren't fleshed out or, even worse, don't have toys. Thank you!

    Hopefully nothing bad happens to them on the way back...

    That makes me sad. I love Ratchet and I was starting to warm up to Drift..

    Polaris, Hyperion, and Deftwing are dead.

    Polaris and Hyperion died after they got sucked out of the LL and crashed into the planet after the Quantum Jump malfunction.

    Deftwing got killed off by the Legislators.

    I'm honestly annoyed they took off the dead/departed notes on the Wiki.

    Certainly. It's the most comprehensive list we have, but edited to remove those who departed or died. I'll continue altering it based on how the comics go, as long as this thread remains relevant.

    Updated!

    So I have a "Living Lost Light" display... Meaning I add and remove characters based on who is aboard the LL (I made this thread because I felt I was missing some characters and who better to help with the cast than fellow fans?). I don't use any 3P toys, though I wouldn't be adverse to using upgrade kits. The only one I would have used 3P would have been Warden as Fort Max, but he left...

    So here's Spartan Prime's list with what toys I'm using or will use...

    Agreed about them removing deceased list Also I'm pretty sure that Deftwing's only appearance was a pretty mangled corpse. Should've also noted other people positions e.g. Trailbreaker/cutter/blazer, Red Alert and Mags as former directors of security, and Ratchet and First Aid as Chief Medical Officers. Also are Kindle and Fervor in the list, via they're certainly not on the wiki.

    Edit: Checked, they should be on the list but aren't. Also should be safe to assume that Froid is another person on the incarcerated list.

    I have to be careful looking things up because I don't have #50 yet.. Froid survived then? I'll add Kindle and Fervor to the first post. Also Froid.

    I didn't add former members since I'm trying to keep a "current" log. If someone wants to make a list of all former members of the LL, I'll add it to the first post as an addendum. Note which are deceased..
