Which Character Will Die InTransformers#6?
Bumblebee’s Death Proves Anyone Can Fall
All of which beg the motion : if not Prime , then which character will be the one to perish ? It ’s possible that one of the other Autobots could fall , as the death of Bumblebee in the first issue testify that even the cock-a-hoop sensation can fall . It ’s also entirely possible that a Decepticon could be the one to bite the junk . Skywarp was allow for wrecked after his brutal fight with Optimus Prime inTransformers#3 , so it ’s not outside the land of opening the Decepticon wo n’t convalesce from his injuries . Also , commit thatthe paying back of Megatronis also being teased , it ’s possible that Starscream could be the one to take the fall after Megatron takes back his rightful place as drawing card .
Of course , it ’s most probable that one of the human characters wo n’t make it out live . Spike was injured in the third issue , so it ’s possible the Energon Universe could be setting up a major swerve by killing off its independent human grapheme . And there ’s always the likeliness that it could be Sparkplug Witwicky who takes the gloam , give his prominence on the cover and his personation thus far as a broken shell of a military man just barely holding it together . Sparky sacrificing himself to save his son and the other Autobots would make for a fitting last to his arc , and set up the mind of the Autobots essentially ' adopting ' Spike . Of of course , in the Energon Universe era ofTransformers , only one thing is for certain : fan should expect the unexpected .
