Does anyone have a list of which Autobots were dead by the time G1 ended?

[Optimus Pyre]

Is there a definitive list somewhere of which Autobots definitely died by the end of G1? And by definitely, I mean they had onscreen deaths or their deaths were otherwise confirmed onscreen.

For instance, Prowl, Ratchet, Ironhide, and Brawn are definitely dead. We saw them die on screen. Wheeljack and Windcharger are definitely dead. We saw their bodies onscreen. Huffer is definitely dead. He was named when they visited the graveyard ship.

So which other Autobots from season 1 and 2 were definitely dead by the time G1 ended? I’m curious to know which ones were dead and which ones might have still been alive.

It's hard to say because some characters, like Wheeljack, just come back in the JG1 seasons.
Then you get into the JG1 seasons themselves and figure out how you wanna count them, if at all.

But for the sake of just saying western G1 you can probably just count who's confirmed dead in Transformers: The Movie and call it a day.

Death is rarely a permanent thing in Transformers.

TFTM is great

"Optimus is dead and he's never coming back."

"Oh we can just put Ultra Magnus back together."

Brawn. He's definitely dead, no question about it.

"Oh we can just put Ultra Magnus back together."

In fairness, all they really did was rip apart his trailer armor. He was just too embarrassed to come out and show that he was a white Optimus underneath all along, and was figuring out his next move when the Junkions broke out the Gorilla Glue.

I'd love to see someone restore the originally intended scene. Just doodle on the lassos. Ultra Magnus is still animated as struggling against them, so just add them where they obviously go.

Though the part where he explodes afterwards would be tricky to dead with. It's not that many frames though.

Brawn. He's definitely dead, no question about it.

According to that old Shockwave comic cover, the Transformers are ALL dead...

There used to be a "Book of the Dead." Seems like someone named Tetra Reris wrote it. I probably saw it on Iggy Drouge's page.

That was the late 90's, though. I don't know if it's still available.
