Talk:Death

Erm... what does this article accomplish that isn't already covered by life cycle and to sell toys? -- Repowers 16:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd have to give it an in-depth reading to answer that, which I really shouldn't while at work. Someone might want to compare the two... --M Sipher 19:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh don't be so negative.

Also, what's the Z word joke aboutUser:GWolfv2

I believe it's a reference to Shaun of the Dead. --Professor Icepick 19:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Lists of Deaths

I remember when I first discovered that Transformers had this huge online fandom there was a page that give a list of ALL the G1 Comic deaths. As I never completed the original run I was somewhat shocked to have seen Scorponok was killed. He was for such a long time the main Big Bad (arguably he was in that role longer than Megatron ever was), I could not believe it that TPTB killed him off.

Would there be scope for extending this article (or creating another) for a list of deaths by continuity? I appreciate that this wiki takes a strong stance against exhaustive lists, but how else could all the death information be collated? I imagine all of them are in the various character entries. However to use my example of 1st discovering online TF, I would not have found out that Scorponok died unless I specifically read his article. Even a link to such an page would probably do I suppose.

My personal guide to the G1 comics lists every single Transformer death. I'd be happy to expand the article with such a list if others thought it acceptable.--Werthead 20:14, 13 June 2009 (EDT)

Some inaccuracies

The first verified Transformer deaths, aside from the nameless generics on Cybertron in the opening panels of issue 1, were the Man of Iron and Navigator in the Man of Iron UK story, and then Tornado and Quake in The Enemy Within that immediately followed it, both a long time before The Smelting Pool. The first verified human death was the driver of a car run off the road by the crazed Autobot Brawn, also in Enemy Within. His car slammed into another parked car complete with an explosion of Michael Bay proportions and a scream of "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" which ended suddenly. Also, Starscream blew apart human jet fighters in the same story.--Werthead 20:14, 13 June 2009 (EDT)
