Autobots on the shuttle 86 movie

[Ironwave]

I am very well aware about the number of threads concerning the shuttle attack or any other moment that happened in the Transformers the movie 1986. Question, yes we see Hot Rod shooting at the shuttle after he noticed that the Decepticons were piloting the shuttle after killing the Autobots on the shuttle. Some fans have said that the Autobots were still in the shuttle when it crashed. But I was thinking about this while watching the movie today, you think that maybe the Decepticons could have threw them out of the shuttle or have them stripped down for spare parts before arriving to Earth?

I thinly the doomed shuttle crew stayed where they fell. Did not seem there was time to strip them down and the bodies were recovered, entombed and ultimately piloted into a star by re-animated, mind-controlled (but still heroic) Optimus Prime.

How do we know for sure any of those bodies were in that Mausoleum? We only heard or saw their names on markers, those could have been empty tombs for all we know.

Well when it comes to G1, we can only take what we see as "face value". If the names don't do it for you, then you can argue almost anything in the continuity.

Characters like Prowl who show up later in G1 Japan's continuity were taken care of via retcons and sub timelines (see Binaltech), others which appear via animation errors (Brawn) are a different matter.

Yeah Prowl showing up later on in Headmasters, is because Japan didn't get the film yet, so therefore they didn't know who died or not.

Actually, Brawn's fate post-shuttle attack went something like this (in the jjwan-verse):

After feigning death from a mere shot to the shoulder Brawn rolled out of the hole in the shuttle and landed hard on the slopes of Lookout Mountain. The impact disconnected his memory circuits so he watched with indifference as the Decepticons attacked Autobot City. As he watched the fateful fight between Optimus and Megatron from afar he was bored ("You call that fight? More like upright sex with fists and laser swords!" he scoffed to no one) so he wistfully wandered into the forests. There he lived off molten lava and the occasional lost hiker that he'd eat whole ("I love messy burritos!" he'd retort to no one in the woods).

Eventually word spread of an amnesiac Transformer that prowled the woods for lava and lost hikers so people from the nearby town gathered their laser rifles and proton pitchforks and chased down Brawn who laughed off their efforts as a sorry-ass surprise party ("Not my birthday you dumb mostly bags of water!!!") so he boarded the next rocket bound for space.

While astride the rocket, chewing on his last person-burrito and chugging his flask of still warm lava, Haley's Comet struck Brawn in the head and he was sent cartwheeling through space. His tumble was eventually stopped by the ass of Unicron who was in the middle of attacking Cybertron. Recognizing his home world and the peril it was in, Brawn located the planet eater's genitals and punched and kicked them repeatedly. It was the combination of Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime opening the Matrix whilst Brawn kicked the shit out of Unicron's nads that defeated the Universal Dominator.
