What's the guy with the crossbow? Atomizer?
yeah, him.
CelticMutt
Yeah, if Skids died I'd be right upset.
Autovolt 127
>Skids dying
>not having much of an impact.
He's a relevant character in MTMTE, No doubt most of us would miss him if he did kick the bucket.
Magnus’ Mate
This is James Roberts. He can hardly ever help himself from "fake out" deaths.
WilyMech
I wonder if Ratchet told Drift going home means that you will be serving under Megatron again.
ultramagnus1
If someone does die it wont be someone we havent really seen. It wouldnt have much impact.
Could be Skids or Crosscut or Gears
Rakzo
Definitely loving that MTMTE cover where everyone is dancing, especially Nautica.
Chromia76
Trailbreaker/Trailcutter was killed by Kaon in issue 34…
TF14
I too am especially worried about that last one…….
BBJazz
I don't know who does die, but I can figure out at least some of who doesn't.
1. Chromedome, we already went through one of these two dying, they probably wouldn't kill off one of them again.
2. Rewind, he already died once.
3. Nautica, she only just joined the crew, it would be a dumb move to kill her off now.
4. Riptide, same deal as Nautica, especially considering Swerve barely knows him.
5. Tailgate, we already went through the idea of him almost dying.
6. Nightbeat, he just came back, he likely won't die yet.
7. Whirl, Swerve spoke too dramatically about the character who did die for it to be Whirl.
8. Megatron, they are definitely not ready to off him yet, I'm the most sure about this one.
9. Ravage, since Swerve probably wouldn't talk about him that way.
10. Swerve, duh.
Now unless I'm missing something obvious everyone else is probably fair game for IDW to kill off. I'm especially worried about Cyclonus, Ultra magnus, Blaster, and Trailbreaker.
Prime Wylde
"DANCE! Dance to keep allllllll your dreams alive!…" lol
General Magnus
And fight genocidal maniacs and unknown horrors the next day.
Veritas Prime
Same here. The covers for MTMTE look great but I'm worried about Nightbeat. I hope he's okay when that issue comes.
Autovolt 127
Nautica, Rung and Rodimus dancing at a lost light rave. I love it.
Digilaut
I want to live on the Lost Light and dance in the club every day.
SPLIT LIP
Of course Rodimus air-guitars. It'd be unrealistic if he didn't.
Negativedark
I don't think it'll be Nautica. She's still got a lot more room for development, and as a total outsider she's got a unique element to the story. Also the resualting internet shitstorm from killing of the only girl on the crew would probably eclipse Evil Star Saber and Ultra Magnus is a dude in a suit combined.
I'd say Ratchet, but if First-Aid doesn't come back then they won't have any medic on board.
Speaking of Combiners, I wonder if the Protectabots will be heading back to the LL once Combiner Wars is done.
Coffee
I very much doubt Nightbeat is the one to die. We were JUST reintroduced to him.
Infosaur
Nobody caught "air guitar Rodimus?" You guys are slipping.
Technically, he's already dead sooooo, there's that.
ARCTrooperAlpha
Dance like you just don't care, Rung !
