Same thing happened to several season 2 Autobots who weren't shown killed in the movie or ever showed up again in season 3.BeastProwl wrote:Yeah, I read as much. So there really is no official reason for his dissapearence then? It's just basically "He's been replaced, deal with it!" I think thats kind of dumb, but it was the 80's.

And Chip, who's probably still alive, though.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Just vanished. And it sucks, too. Same with the season one/two Autobots who disappeared.

There is at least some precedence for Sparkplug's wife being deceased, as the Sunbow production bible lists Sparkplug as being a widower, even though such was never said in any form of actual G1 fiction.MightyMagnus78 wrote:I naturally assumed he had just passed away, it makes no sense of course.

Even in the 80's, you would think that a cartoon would be able to keep it's facts straight. In the end though, I think that season 2 just opened up this huge realm of possabilities. Then season three wasnt able to handle it or SOMETHING. I mean, if all those characters died, they could have at least said so. If they can show all those autobots die IN THEATERS then i'm sure they could drop they "They all died during the fight for autobot city" bomb.
Imagine being a kid in the 80's, being SO STOKED to go see Transformers: The Movie. After you see all those autobots DIE right in front of you. Then, you finally see Optimus pass. It couldnt have been easy. So saying all those other characters died wouldnt be that bad after THAT. You probably think "Oh, they will come back. They'll be rebuilt, right? RIGHT?

Archanubis wrote:It's interesting to note, that, other than Defensor, a lot of Chris Latta's old characters were either killed off or disappeared after the movie. Starscream showed up in a couple episodes, and Cobra Commander ("Old Snake") guest stared, but other than that, Wheeljack was killed in the movie while Sparkplug and Reflector kinda fell off the map.
And come to think of it, Defensor didn't show up all that often either.

I'm pretty sure it was strongly implied when Arcee drags his wrecked body next to Windcharger's.

Sto's reasoning for Wheeljack's fate being ambiguous is due to his body not turning grayish like other dead characters did, as well as no season 3 mention of him dying.
