Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #32 - "Slaughterhouse"

"First and foremost, MTMTE is supposed to be fun. ‘Fun’ doesn’t mean it has to be lighthearted all the time, and it doesn’t mean we can’t have moments of real horror. We can, at times, be bleak and shocking and terrifying. But underpinning it all – and acting as a sort of narrative rocket fuel – is a sense of adventure and – dare I say it, in these grim-dark times? – joy." -- James Roberts

I guess the biggest problem for me is that, while I like the Autobots and root for them as the good guys, I find the Decepticons far more entertaining and interesting and by far my favourite characters. So an ending where the Decepticons are lethally annihilated is most definitely a depressing ending for me. I do want the 'Cons defeated, but I very much don't want them dead.

So far, the IDW Continuity solution of ending the war and making the faction cooperate (except for Galvatron and his new team, but Galvatron is quite possibly the only Decepticon I can't stand so I couldn't care less if he dies, I just hope Soundwave and Skywarp and the others manage to get away) has come the closest to my idea of a happy ending. It was still sad when Shockwave died, but at least Optimus promised him to remember him as a friend.

...Of course, the IDW Continuity is ongoing and might very well go the Kill 'Em All route for its finale.

The original Marvel run couldn't follow the events of the animated movie as they had already killed Unicron.

Really? I didn't know that. Thank you for the good news :D

If we assume that the events of the movie won't take place, then the ending of Generation 2 is a pretty happy one too!
