“ALL GOOD THINGS…! Rodimus and the Crusadercons have reached their final destination. The trouble is, it’s not Cyberutopia. In fact, it’s not ANYWHERE. But they’d better get used to it, because they’re going to be there until the end of Time…”

i think they passed through a morality door and its an unfinished business thing those that let go and embrace happyness come through those that dont are doomed to limbo
dvieregge
Aww. I think I\'m dropping this title too. The magic just isn\'t there anymore.
Heliblade
Ok so the eldritch horror in the sky rips out your spark if you are satisfied and happy. Good to know.
SparkPlug24
He has a spark!? Did all the Legislators have sparks? Culled from Circle of Light Members?!

Isn't Hot Rod supposed to have a distinct connection to the Matrix? Or did that get dropped?
Splendic
I don't disagree with you, but to be fair at least in this case whatever is happening seems to be in some kind of surreal 'dream' space.
Bumblebee2000
Anyone think there is a significance to the different light colours for each room? Tailored to how they feel when they wake up? I don't socialise with a lot of Transformers but I'm pretty sure Rodimus and Cyclonus are making different faces upon seeing the Matrix. Course the lights are different pre-reveal and I'll admit my last MTMTE book was 22 yesterday with the optic colour spectralist conversation. Still there must be a reason, even if that reason is just "X looks better backdropped against Y.

Man I just don\'t know how I feel about LL. Roberts is losing me.
AutobotAvalanche
It's sad that Roberts has us at the point where something as explicit as that is doubtful in its finality. Remember when he'd just kill people in meaningful ways? Now it's either you die a stupid, pointless Wreckers death or you get a heartfelt scene that goes to waste when you inevitably return.
Jalaguy
I feel pretty confident he's actually dead, especially with that speech.
Ten is similar to your Ambulons and your Pipeses: enough of a character for their death to have an impact on the other characters, but not enough of a character that they actually had any story threads of their own beyond their debuts (or, in Ten's case, beyond his reveal as a sapient being).
Baron Baran
Well, tomorrow we will get a real answer.
Knightsword
I thought it was confirmed a while back that Ten and the rest his kind were never drones, but victims of shadowplay and the like to be servants to Tyrest.
ultramagnus1
Nice. It will probably be Friday before I can get this but nice all the same
Splendic
Yes
ultramagnus1
Is this out tomorrow?
Mattymo
Or it’s a clue that none of this is happening
The Mad Demobot
I share this sentiment if he's really gone, but the fact that the death happened so early into the issue it doesn't seem that way. Almost like another mystery to figure out until the issue comes out.
Then again there was Pipes…
TargetmasterJoe
Maybe the issue will go into detail about how a drone like Ten managed to have a Spark when he really shouldn't?
Whovian Zorker
Well, they both look like the letter "O." (Either that, or else no one has bothered telling me that they only see consonants in my avatar….)
Mattymo
What spark? He shouldn’t have one. He’s a drone. He was built to be a sparkles killing machine by Chief Justice.
