The Tradition of Killing Off Transformers in Movies Continues with Rise of the Beasts
The Transformers franchise has a complicated relationship with death, with characters often being killed off and then revived later. The latest movie, Rise of the Beasts, attempts to wring pathos out of multiple Autobot and Maximal deaths, but it's hard to take them seriously when the characters are living machines that can be repaired or revived. The key to making death work in the franchise is establishing rules and sticking to them, as seen in the memorable death of Dinobot in the mid-'90s Beast Wars series.
