History WMG / TransformersFallOfCybertron

** Hardshell and Kickback only seemed to be knocked out (and besides, Hardshell appears in Prime, so he had to have lived); Sharpshot, on the other hand, was pretty explicitly killed. [[spoiler: Later comics have Kickback getting killed Sludge.]]

** and indeed it did not [[spoiler: he was [[AnArmAndALeg maimed]] and sent to a DisneyDeath]]. How he survived is not clear, though seeing as he can fly, and limb loss isn't uncommon in Transformers (with his gun arm getting foreshadowed). Shockwave's survival, however, was confirmed in the tie-in comic and the Prime Show.

** [[spoiler: He's set to appear in [[WesternAnimation/{{TransformersPrime}} Prime]], so I doubt he'll die, but there still is the BroadStrokes issue. That and he might just appear in a flashback, but be dead in the present.]]
*** He may still be alive at the time of the show, as the summary for the Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots tie-in comic mentions Shockwave alongside Grimlock and his crew in the present tense.
*** [[spoiler: at the moment it looks like he's dead though]]
*** [[spoiler: Likely a DisneyDeath if anything. How many bots have survived being torn to pieces and come back? And he can fly in his alt mode. Besides, an audio tape/holo projector show Shockwave designing his would be trademark blaster, fitted to his left arm. Which limb did Grimlock eat again?]]
**** The left arm. Shouldn't really make any difference, though, since it's established early on that weapons can easily be switched from one arm to the other.
**** The solicitation for the comic explicitly says that Grimlock and Shockwave are alive and play a role in the story. I'm pretty sure they're okay.
***** And Shockwave appeared in Prime.

Blast Off: May have a large dogfight with the Arielbots. [[spoiler: Grimlock stabbed him in the chest in the comics]]

** {{Jossed}} by WordOfGod. By the time of ''Prime'', the notion is that Soundwave ''can'' talk, but just chooses not to (which is why certain characters even give him chances to speak up, only for him to remain silent). [[spoiler: And definitely so by "Minus One" where he did indeed speak]]. The scene where Jazz blows him up was only in the trailer

* Jazz [[spoiler: put a cannon to Soundwave's chest and then boom! [[RobotChicken Little bits of Soundwave went everywhere.]] He'll probably be rebuilt sans voice/face.]]
** Partly {{Jossed}}. This scene happened in the trailer. In the actual gameplay (specifically in a part that happens after the trailer), Soundwave is alive and well, even speaking and telling Rumble to attack a few Autobots.

*** [[spoiler: And definitely so by "Minus One" where he did indeed speak]].
** Still, why would he look different?
*** This is Transformers. Characters receiving new and sometimes drastically different appearances is ''nothing'' unusual. Plus, said changes have been seen to happen in time periods of half a decade or less in-universe and the games do take place ''millions'' of years prior to modern day. Plenty of time to pass for Soundwave to take on a new form and take on his new "no talking" lifestyle. Though BroadStrokes most likely comes into place somewhere.

** Jossed, it lost it before the game.

[[spoiler: It wasn't really Megatron. It was a clone.]] Why would I say this? Mostly because I find Metroplex [[spoiler: crushing Megs to only a hand]] and soundwave [[spoiler:being able to rebuild him]] kinda odd. Plus it's extremely convenient that it happens right when Starscream is about to be made DeceptiKing.

** And he didn't speak, and it's not like ''Prime'' itself helped matters, considering Shockwave got darrin'd with David Sobolov taking over despite Steve Blum being a regular [[nor did they get Issac C. Singleton Jr. and Johnny Yong Bosch for the respective roles of Soundwave and Bumblebee, indeed having Frank Welker reprise the former and getting Will Friedle to voice the latter]].

**** The solicitation for the comic explicitly says that Grimlock and Shockwave are alive and play a role in the story. I'm pretty sure they're okay.

Perceptor: Maybe the Decepticons attack a lab he's in and kill him.

Jazz: Might end up dying at the hands of Megatron or Shockwave as a SacrificialLion.
* Well, it wouldn't be the [[Film/{{Transformers}} first time]].

Warpath: Killed by Brawl in combat.

Metroplex: Would probably die to save the Autobots. He'll certainly be stuck on Cybertron for some time at least.
* [[spoiler: confirmed, [[TearJerker he gives his energon to allow the ark to take off]].]]
** [[spoiler: He heard Prime and Ironhide's conversation at the end of Chapter 3, about it possibly costing them their future to see Megatron smashed like that, because the energon reserve for the Ark was gone, presumably in his 'birth'. They were standing on his shoulder for it, and he looked slightly in their direction. [[WhatTheHellHero Way to make him feel like he's at fault for that, Prime]].]]

Shockwave: He's going to create the Dinobots. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard That probably won't end well.]]

Assuming they're staying true to the original WordOfGod declaration of ''TransformersWarForCybertron'' and ''TransformersPrime'' being in the same universe, then Bumblebee's not going to die from them. So it could be that Bumblebee's injuries in ''[=FoC=]'' might be a means to explain the more movie-esque idea of making Bumblebee mute and using sounds to communicate.

He was shown to be quite protective of them in WFC. One of them dying would have to be the reason why he's so stoic in TransformersPrime.

Optimus has the Key to Vector Sigma in TransformersPrime, and WFC shows him acquiring the Matrix of Leadership. Given they are trying to escape the planet they are probably looking for everything of value they can take with them.

* [[spoiler: He's set to appear in [[{{TransformersPrime}} Prime]], so I doubt he'll die, but there still is the BroadStrokes issue. That and he might just appear in a flashback, but be dead in the present.]]

[[WMG: We will learn why Breakdown looks the way his does in [[TransformersPrime Prime]].]]

[[WMG: We will learn why Soundwave is mute and why his design is different in [[TransformersPrime Prime]].]]

[[WMG: There will be several cases of TheOtherDarrin in order to try and align the continuity with [[TransformersPrime Prime]], with other characters showing up from Prime later.]]

Referring to ''The Movie'' protagonists: Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Arcee and Blur.

* In response, the Decepticons will have Scorponok, who will be fought by Grimlock in a boss battle-- thus finally following up on Grimlock's Hall of Fame bio, which mentions him having some kind of grudge toward a heretofore unseen Aligned-verse Scorponok.

The first two games already used Omega Supreme and Metroplex (the other two Autobot giants), so...

* Then explain of he still remains with Megatron despite being smashed into a control panel by Grimlock. Speaking of, why would Megatron keep Starscream around he stole his rank and backstabbed him.

* Then explain of how Megatron still keeps him around despite stealing his rank and backstabbing him.

* It will end, of course, with them going to Earth.

The Autobots and Decepticons will travel to different worlds after surviving the space bridge collapse. This will let us play as new characters and types of Transformers from Velocitron and Junkion.

* Matt Tieger made a personal push to get him in the game, I doubt he'd have him killed off.
