I think Knock Out is as much of a main character as Soundwave is. He doesn't hang out around Megatron as much but he appears and does things throughout the entirety of the show with pretty good regularity. He isn't just their doctor, either, he actually interacts with the autobots as well. He could def do with more screentime, though.

I'd consider Soundwave a secondary character also. Same with Dreadwing (though, like Knock Out, he too walked the fine line between secondary and main character status... then he died).

I'd say Knock Out as major a character as Bulk and Skull. Doesn't make him any less lovable, though.

Really, the only Decepticons in this show who have been almost consistently in the main character status would be Megatron (after episode 13) and Starscream. Everyone else has been treated as either a secondary, minor, or guest star character.

That's one of my favorite parts about this show...most shows you could identify who the main characters are, like say Hot Shot in Armada vs other Autobots, whether it focuses on either faction more, etc. But I feel like each character has had a good amount of screentime and development, and it's not really like there's main characters winning every battle or anything, everyone seems pretty equal and important.

Dreadwing however, needed MUCH more screentime. I loved him!!

Dreadwing, unfortunately, followed Breakdown's footsteps. Semi-important on his debut episode, got one more episode focusing on him, slowly lacks screen-time and dialogue, and dies without settling his rivalry with Wheeljack.

At least Dreadwing had closure with Optimus. Poor Dreadwing.

I just wonder did Airachnid die, I hope so, not because I don't like her, but because I really want to se any Fembot body reduced into scrap in any cartoon series... Also it would be hard to explain how she survived thisif she was in stasis.

So many options in next seazon... I simply can't wait.

She wasn't simply in stasis. She was in a stasis pod. We don't really know if such a blast could simply set Airachnid free rather than kill her.

I don't think this is a good idea. After all, the only female character who do'sent survive end of the series in cartoon was so far only Airazor, bu yet she was'nt killed directly. So killing a Fembot would be a interesting new idea in a TV series.

But to be honest, I would prefer to creators killed of Arcee, because she is propably only predictable character in the series. Especially since she got so many episodes even if it seems they dos'ent want to give her a really good character development.

Wanting the woman to die because she is a woman is kind of, uh...

Yeah, that's pretty messed up...

Not because she is a woman, but because I wanna see how creators break some of old rules. Considering that in this show humans death are at least suggested or shown indirect way, this is possible.

I think what TurboMMaster means is that, in most shows, the females almost always survive because they are females. If one didn't survive, however, that would be something new and outside the standard norm.
