Question for IDW nerds out there... who are all the bots featured in the two-page spread displaying Rewind’s sampled message to Chromedome in MTMTE 16? I recognize several of them but not all, and I can’t tell if some are just generic bots invented to fill in the blanks. Padilla’s bizarre drawing style doesn’t help matters. Anybody know? Asking for HF art project reasons....

The prompt for the 5th day of dratchetparty was 'Your Voice'.

I kept thinking about how Drift would have spent his first night all alone on that tiny space shuttle after Rodimus kicked him out of the Lost Light.

Pacing around the tiny room, restelessly checking the controls again and again, staring into space, wondering where to go and how to continue his life from now on.

The only thing that he found comfort in, was replaying Ratchet's voice messages, as the tiny shuttle drifted deeper into space.

i didn’t think i’d ever be crying actual, real-life tears over a comic about giant robots that can turn into cars fighting other giant robots that can turn into cars but well here we are

Watch MTMTE 16 again，feel so sad😭 Poor Rewind…… Why saying I love you when you are going to die?

Mmm, Indeed, people`s last word is always simple but express their deepest will. i've heard some last words from those who died in aircrash and unexpected disasters, most of them contain their best wishes to their beloved with an extremely unutterable regret. they often ends their sentences with i love you.

And that is why every time when I see the similar thing, I'm crying!

as if this message weren’t emotional enough, there’s an added layer of being kicked in the goddamn feelings when it’s transposed over Drift being forced off the ship, and Ratchet helping him back up. Because these same words apply so well to the way Ratchet sees Drift, and the fact that he’s the only bot on the entire ship that demonstrates friendship towards Drift in the aftermath of what happened - even though he has no reason to believe Drift didn’t act alone - tells you everything you need to know about the bond between them.

...knowing what we know now, this must have been a highly emotional encounter for Brainstorm, who goes on to literally try to change history to save the person he loved (who, notably, didn’t love him back.)
