Okay, fair warning. The following is going to be a spoiler filled rant. Those who have not read this issue turn back now.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I expected one thing going into this comic, and that was expecting to come out of it an emotional wreck. I expected to be sad to the point of crying. I did not expect to come out of this angry and defeated. Very angry and defeated.
Angry at what? One word. Sword. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SWORD DOING THERE!? How did it even get there? Drift was near the med bay with Ratchet, how did one of his swords get down to the Time cell to conveniently screw things up? Unless there is another bot with swords I'm unaware of? I also don't remember that sword being in the door when CD finally got out. How did it get there? Rewind didn't have to die... he just didn't
Beyond my anger is just defeat. As soon as I saw rewind climb into the cell I knew it was over. the sword won, it was just all over. There was no stopping it. LSotW flashed into my mind as the scenes played out. When the Wreckers watched Impactor walk into the building with a gun, they all looked away and bowed their heads. they knew what was coming, so did I. I was utterly defeated by this ending. I couldn't stop it. I could barely read it. I just looked away and blinked back tears.
Dying in stupid pointless ways indeed.
PS. I may post less ranty things later once I stop feeling so miserable about this. Guess in the end it just goes to show how effective the art and writing was. Kudos to the creative team, you destroyed me
