So essentially, you want them to bring back Sideswipe so he can immediately be killed? Because that is what happens in the examples you stated.
But those were Cons. That's doesn't mean that is what has to happen "if" Swipe comes back. Besides, I think bringing Swipe back and (finally) introducing Sunstreaker as Swipes brother in movie 5 would be awesome.
I'd hope he didn't, or any of the previous autobots (besides Optimus and Bumblebee). I like that Tf4 kind of reset the cast.
lol pretty much...they still took out a bot a piece though so it's not like it was entirely superficial...and barry lasted a good 10 minutes i'd say & it beats disappearing into continuity hell.
This character has ton of potential, if you just watched the first 5 minutes of ROTF you probably would think he would be used a lot more.
I have high hopes that he really is alive. I'm not letting my headcanon come bashing me in the face. If he is dead, then non-satisfactory and I can beat it in the ground and sit on it. XDD
Do we know who the 4 aces are / were in the Deck of Death? I mean 52 cards in a deck there must have been some cons, even if they were scattered after Chicago and only small time cons.
While I still have hope of Swipe returning, if only in a transmission sent to the remaining Earth Bots from somewhere in space, I now have another reason to hope this happens.I would love to find out that he and a few others left Earth and have met up with other Bots somewhere in space. Not only would that satisfy those of us who would love to see him alive and well, it would also force those who state as fact that Swipe is dead and we all should get over it, to eat their words. I friggin detest those who claim to know things for fact, when in reality they don't know crap.
That is the strong indication. The movie doesn't give us any reason to think otherwise. A few out of focus cards with out X's isn't really that strong evidence.
It doesn't really give any resolution at all. It's pretty much left open to individual interpretation. Bay has said that if you didn't see it happen in his movie,then it didnt happen. Take that a you will. As has been said over and over, alot of those cards are too blurry to make out. I know Drift said they were all that was left, but that was an assumption made in his part. Brains proved that assumption wrong. We may not know until the dvd release.Until then, all possibilities are on the table.
As you all know, there is a new television series coming up, starring both Bumblebee and Sideswipe. Since there is no mention of Sideswipe in AOE, it is possible that Hasbro is holding him back, waiting to see how kids will react to his character in the new show. If all goes well and he turns out to be a favorable character among the children, Hasbro might consider his return in the new trilogy. If his personality is "done right" in the upcoming show, then there is always the possibility of him becoming just as famous as Bumblebee, but among teenagers instead of kids. To those who love Sideswipe's character in the previous trilogy, and if there wasn't an X on his card in AOE, remember this; there is hope, but alot of it lies on the new TV show.
The others are unknown, however so far the only thing that will prove their fate, is the Card scene shown in AOE. That is of course if they are shown or not.
