The full preview for IDW Publishing’s Lost Light #19 comes to us today from Comic Crusaders, in advance of the issue’s release on July 4. The series opens the first chapter of its final story arc, “Crucible,” as many characters from throughout its run begin to converge on the planet Mederi… and we’re not just talking about Team Rodimus’s former crewmates-turned-Sparkeaters! Check out the preview after the jump, and then feel free to share your thoughts in the discussion thread.

Much as I love Mirage to survive even I concede he is dead in this continuity. I am big fan of Mirage. (In all honesty Mirage's death was one of his best for any continuity at least it wasn't pointless.)

Three words: Brainstorm's Forbidden Toybox.

Roberts later corrected himself and said that three characters died (although I think that tweet may have also been deleted). Regardless, he's since confirmed Mirage is dead.

He got chopped to pieces by Star Saber, not likely.
Stryyder
Wouldn't it be Rook and Atomizer? Mirage may yet be safe.

Meh :/

I've skimmed issues at the store for four years. Very sad that James Roberts became a Tumblr hack
Sky Shadow
I agree, but since Joana Lafuente has been colouring MTMTE/Lost Light for the past four years, it's an odd thing to mention in this particular thread.

That's part of the hook of the issue. We don't know.

Roberts posted, and then deleted, a Tweet stating that only two characters died in that particular issue of LL – I would take that to mean Mirage and Rook are for-realsies dead, but the other Protectobots survived by the skin of their teeth.
Dramatic Spoon
Even if Streetwise/Blades/Hot spot/Groove survived getting shot to pieces, they were no where near the escape shuttle, so it seems highly unlikely it's one of them.

Not "and" army
You'd think they have editors who catch that type of thing.
WilyMech
We don't know. The spark eaters so far mechs core group gloat call Getaway to Rodimus Prime when they are on Necro World.

Wait! How'd Perceptor end up as one?!?
BBJazz
Eh it works for what they're doing, just figured I'd point it out
T-Wrecks
You said it. You can't have a fight without him around.

GRIMLOCK! He’s back baby and I’m so happy to see my favourite T. Rex back in action!!
Mercutio
Woah! I stand corrected; the different shading & overlap with Perceptor's tentacles (now that's a weird phrase) fooled me. Very nice catch indeed!
And boooo lazy art, haha.

Bottom left-top right. The one coming in from the right of the page -the one on Perceptor's right. The one above Mainframe is identical to the one on the rightmost side of the page. Yeah, those are very clearly copy and pasted. Some of the shading is different, but the ones I named all have the same silhouette.
