#unicron 1

Despite all the death and destruction, hope and refusing to give up has actually been a recurring theme throughout Transformers: Unicron.

Take the GI Joe short, Scarlett, Roadblock and several other gi joes being trapped in what seems like a hopeless situation, boxed in by Maximals who are also harbingers of an apocalypse.

But they refuse to accept their fate lying down all the same and are determined to keep fighting:

Take the Mistress of Flame, moments from a very gruesome and very inevitable death herself, using those last moments to assure her people not to give in to despair as in her own words: “things will get better”

Take the Solstar Order, their entire planet having just been devoured by Unicron, who they’ve tried and failed utterly to ward off already, with very few space knights even remaining as a result.

But even so, are they just going to give up and roll over?

No. Every single one of them are going to take a stand and keep trying to fight against evil.

Transformers: Unicron - an incredibly dark comic where beloved characters as well as entire planets fall to an insatiable, evil planet.

Also Transformers: Unicron - a comic that carries a simple message as a theme, one also echoed here in Last Stand of the Wreckers:

I sight Proxima and Roadmaster there as among those having definitely escaped Caminus so that’s a major relief!

I have to say, the Solstar Order, despite their Order being in shambles as a result of having literally just lost their entire home planet- and one of them having been confirmed to having just lost multiple children with it too:

All of them refusing to give up and being determined to keep fighting to save others, including mechanical life that the Order is known to typically have a prejudiced view towards, is actually really touching.
