Mechs that have killed?

Post by optimusskids »

A look at which Transformers in whichever continuity /Time Stream etc. who have actually killed another being.

to Start this off

Starscream : with the underbase he slaughtered numerous on both the Autobot and Decepticon side.

Although most came back, in some cases very shortly afterwards. He actually just overloaded them all, as revealed in US #52.

The 'Nok killed Ratbat.

Megatron killed Bludgeon in G2. Most of the Bots 'n' Cons racked up a few kills, mainly second gen nobodies. Prime killed Tantrum, amusingly. Megatron killed Steelclaw, Brawn, Override and Searchlight/Chase. Either Leadfoot or Manta Ray [don't care which] killed Razorclaw.

Prime killed Horribull [?] in #80, probably pulping the poor Nebulon as well.

Highbrow killed Cloudburst. Sort of.

Galvatron killed Venom, Battletrap, Twin Twist and Rack 'n' Ruin and got possibles in on Sandstorm and Chopshop; if he didn't get those, they can join Topspin and Cyclonus on Megaclone's tally.

Megatron killed Wildrider.

Macabre killed Impactor.

Bludgeon killed Catilla.

Carnivac killed Needlenose, Spinister and Pigboy. Name's gone. Snarler, I knew it all along, whores.

Grimlock probably killed Fangry.

I'll leave one of the LCD posters to do the TF:TM ones. We can then have the people who make up cartoon ones ["Sunstreaker got shot in that Season 2 episode and we never saw him again" etc.]. And Thunderwing didn't kill Landmine, the Matrix did. Horsepower probably self-destructed and Playback fell on a rock. I find it very hard to believe someone as limp, pointless and idiotic as Thunderwing could kill anyone but himself.


Mind, most of this is rendered null and void, as I don't see how anyone who was ever revived can be counted as killed, only as deactivated.

Blaster killed Ferak back on Cybertron.

Megadeath killed Stampede

A seeker quite possibly Screamer killed Fusion in the UK annual Story (the one with Bluestreak)

Why "quite possibly Screamer"? Is there absolutely anything to suppose that?

Probably not as its a vague memory of a story I haven't read for over a decade. It may not be him at all I just have a dim idea that it was which could be wrong.

Anyone with access to the Story feel free to fill in the details.

Broadcast and Soundwave both memorably kill each other in the second episode of Headmasters, only to recover two episdoes latter and then gennerally hang about... Though the Japanese are gennerally quite keen on killing people of permanently, I'll let Sprengs post the full list as I'll just get the names wrong....

Hellbat was awsome full stop. Can't wait for the proper DVD release (though hopefully with less of the Star TV slaging off in the booklet. If your going to critisice other peoples translations, you'd better make damn sure you don't have Kup saying things like "I'll take them from behind!").

I love how the end of The Death of Ultra Magnus is made fairly obvious by the title...

Kup's probably killed some bots in at least one of his battles. Hence the title war hero.
If he's fought over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,001 battles and never killed anyone then that's pretty damn sad.

Megatron, using a neutron blast. I said it in the second post. Try to keep up. Or at least be funny in an original way.

Man, I used to have a complete cartoon deathlist that spanned all the American and Japanese toons. Maybe I can remember em all off the top of my head.

Let's do dis thang.

Super Robot Life:

Alpha Trion (himself...I guess)

The Movie (not counting reformattings):

Starscream 1 (Galvatron)
Optimus Prime 1 (Megatron)
Prowl (Scavenger)
Ratchet (Megatron)
Ironhide (Megatron)
Brawn (Megatron)
Unicron 1 (The Matrix)
Windcharger (I dunno)

2010:

The Ark & Teletran 1 (Trypticon)
Starscream 2 (Galvatron)
Optimus Prime 2 (self sacrifice)

Headmasters:

Optimsu Prime 3 (self sacrifice)
Ultra Magnus (Sixshot)
Blaster (Soundwave)
Soundwave (Blaster)
Galvatron (The Head-Formation of Friendship...groan)
Cybertron and Vector Sigma (Scorponok)

Masterforce:

Giga & Mega (Devil Z)
Devil Z/Black Zarak (God Jinrai)

Victory:

God Jinrai (Liokaisar)
Deathsaurus (Star Saber)
Liokaisar (Victory Leo + stupidity)
Deathcobra (Hellbat + stupidity)

Zone:

Trypticon (the Zodiak)
Predaking (Dai Atlas)
Devastator (hot lava)
King Poseidon (the Zodiak)

Zone manga:

Violen Jigar (Dai Atlas...I think)

Battlestars:

Super/Ultra Megatron (Star Convoy, I think)
Dark Nova (Star Convoy, I think)

Beast Wars:

Optimus Primal (Megatron)

Beast Wars Metals:

Terrorsaur (hot lava)
Scorponok (hot lava)
Dinobot (the entire Predacon army)
Transmetal 2 Dinobot (self sacrifice)
Depthcharge (Rampage)
Rampage (Depthcharge)
Tigerhawk/Airrazor & Tigatron (Megatron)
Quickstrike (Megatron)
Inferno (Megatron)
Tarantulas (Vok aliens)

Beast Wars II:

Galvatron (blew his sh1t up along with the Nemesis)
Seacons (I...can't remember)

Beast Wars Neo:

Blendtrons (self sacrifice)
Unicron 2 (the Matrixbuster)
Maximal Elders (Unicron)

Beast Machines:

Noble/Savage (don't remember...Megatron, right?)
Rhinox/Tankor (It's...been a while. Megatron again?)
Megatron (Optimus Primal)
Optimus Primal (Megatron)



That's the best I could do off the top of my head. TFPulp is currently off-line so I couldn't go reference the Battlestars "manga" to see who killed Star Giant. But it's safe to assume to was Star Convoy. In regards to Violen Jigar, I'm just going by what I read on Rob's Transformers Page ages ago. Might not be accurate anymore.

Ahhhh. I love that. The guy surrvived being in the centre of an exploding planet, but a bit of icey water does him in...

Does the Ark count as a kill btw? If it does, so should the movie shuttles...

Naw, it's cool. It was sorta an obituary list (as I added characters whom I forgot).

Thanks for Huffer, but I intentionally left out Wheeljack as he appeared alive and well with lots of dialogue in Victory.

And I only counted the Ark as it had Teletran 1 on it, and he sorta counts as a character, I guess.

He showed actualy personality in one episode, anyway. "Attack of the Autobots", I think, where he has a brief arguement with Megatron.

True- That's more personality than Skids.

As for the Japanese shows, I think the Decepticon Clones can be added to the list. When Sixshot knoks them out, a close up makes it look as if their heads were virtually torn off...
