Am I like... completely misremembering the phase 1 IDW lore before the phase 2 and 3 retcons? Do I need to reread?
#im sorry was deadlock a big deal??#i really dont think he was in the grand scheme of things#he was a symbol. he was important enough#he definitely served a purpose in the propaganda machine of early megatron-lead decepticons#but as an individual im pretty sure deadlock was small-time not really a big name and not important as anything beyond an idea#he was second in command for turnoil. who was barely relevant to IDW#he was a small time hitman with a decent enough reputation to make him into an example#but small potatos enough that he is obviously just another soldier#not actually that powerful#not actually that formidable#just a cog in the machine who's tragic and scary enough to be a good example one time#he was a poseterboy for five minutes at a ralley early in the war then he was trained as a soldier#idk i just dont remember him being a huge deal#and if he was i think the story is worse for it lmao
