Description
This is the third in my 1 page comic series, the first being Prime vs Motormaster [link] and the second being a visit to the 4 who died in the shuttle [link] .
This continues my obsession with those who died in TFTM, this one stinging equally as the death of Prowl because this time, both characters were "mine" (my brothers and I had a diamond-solid understanding of whose characters were whose, regardless of whether we owned the toys or not). I'm talking about the deaths of Wheeljack and Windcharger.

What to say...they didn't even get screen time for their deaths. Fine, Windcharger was a very minor character throughout the TV series, but Wheeljack...WHY??

It's odd though, because my frustration achieved closure with this comedy piece, which just popped into my head one day. Actually, 2 scenarios popped into my head, believe it or not (the second of which I probably will never draw). I hope you like this one. It at least adds something to their lore. If somebody knows a fanfic that talks about the events leading up to their deaths, lemme know...

Other notes:
- It was so fun to draw Trailbreaker. I added him because there is actually a storyboard of TFTM that shows him lying dead. Trailbreaker also received almost no love after G1, never appearing anywhere (a few near misses in Binaltech/Alternators, so I hear). If you know a TF episode where Trailbreaker appears that you recommend (on youtube or something), lemme know.

- The three playing cards (the third TF is Sideswipe) were chosen because they were the 3 in the TFTM storyboards who collectively fired their missiles with Ultra Magnus to take down Devastator. I thought this appropriate because of Devastator's connection with the Launcher Room in this strip.
