Is the death list too full?

A bunch of the names on the death list (Trypticon, Slug, Bludgeon, and Sludge come to mind) seem to me like they're implied to be dead, but never confirmed. Especially seeing as how Predaking returned in this issue after Razorclaw got his head blown off, aren't we potentially jumping the gun? It wouldn't be the first time avoiding "certain death" for either Slug OR Bludgeon.--Wheelbug (talk) 12:12, 14 November 2018 (EST)

Slug has to be dead. It's the whole point of the scene. He knows he has to die because the Cybertronian race can't move on while people like him, who can't let go of their old hatreds, still exist, and he dies willingly because of that. And Bludgeon has to be dead because of that; there's no catharsis if he gets to live while Slug dies. Likewise, Sludge and Snarl are obviously dead because the story makes a point of showing their bodies, then only showing Swoop and Strafe surviving. It requires looking past what's simply drawn on the page. - Chris McFeely (talk) 12:28, 14 November 2018 (EST)
