I moved Whirl to "added crew", since he wasn't supposed to be onboard. (On the summary, I intended to attach the link of issue 1, but did issue 2 by mistake) Thunderweb 08:20, 30 May 2012 (EDT)

Dogfight

Dogfight is listed under both crew at launch and crew post-takeoff. Has it been confirmed either way? Antimatter 15:15, 6 April 2013 (EDT)

Slaughterhouse

In the latest issue of MTMTE, we see a time-displaced version of the Lost Light, with all of its crew (excluding Rewind) dead. How do we classify these characters, given the unique circumstances of their deaths?--DeathbotTheGreat (talk) 22:01, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

Lots of notes

-Whirl technically joined the crew before the launch by a slight margin, though he was half dead and unconscious. same with tailgate. -Whirl, Swerve, Perceptor, Mainframe, and Rung are killed in a flashback sequence in slaughterhouse. I think they should be marked with asterisks. -rewind should have some indicator that he came back to life in slaughterhouse. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Combaticons4ever (talkcontribs).

There's a difference between being on board the ship and being part of the crew though. I think we should wait until the story arc concludes and see if Rewind's resurrection sticks before making any changes to his entry. --abates (talk) 16:38, 10 September 2014 (EDT)

Asterisks and modifiers

Do we really need to note which members of the crew were shown dead in Slaughterhouse? Or that Ravage was originally a stowaway, or that Deftwing is deceased? The list is going to be a mess after MTMTE runs another 30 issues. --abates (talk) 15:45, 29 October 2014 (EDT)

Yeah. We need a better way to do this. Like maybe giving up on the whole "deceased" thing. -- Repowers (talk) 18:57, 11 November 2014 (EST)
Still, while complex, it's informative.ZeroSD (talk) 19:59, 11 November 2014 (EST)
I can understand taking off the asterisks on the characters that were killed on Lost Light A, since it doesn't really serve much of a purpose, but we should list characters that are deceased as deceased for information purposes, like we do with all of the incarnations of the Wreckers.--DeathbotTheGreat (talk) 20:47, 11 November 2014 (EST)

Trailcutter

James Roberts has confirmed on Twitter that Trailcutter is deceased, so I added it to the page.--DeathbotTheGreat (talk) 18:54, 11 November 2014 (EST)

How to handle the split

We need subject headers that don't function like names, so people don't think "Lost Light A" is an actual designation. It isn't - it's totally meaningless beyond the context of this page.

I'm blanking, though. "Correct destination" and "Wrong destination"? -- Repowers (talk) 00:07, 12 November 2014 (EST)
