Did Motaro truly need to make a cameo?

Motaro is awesome. Wished they could of figured a way for him to be in for real in this game. Having him at least appear in this game was nice. Kinda wish he hadn't been killed so that it left him open to actually appear in future games without some silly undead slave angle.
Still at least his death was awesome and had impact on the events of the story.Seriously though if I had to die in the background of a scene, I hope it was because some PO'd deity dive-bombed me through a bridge.

Motaro is an ugly, terrible character whose very race should've never been introduced into the canon.
The second Mortal Kombat movie and MKArmageddon only made him slightly worse.
I will be happy to never see him or his people again.

Someone should put a speech bubble or something on Motaro's MK3 winpose saying "THIS!"
The team referenced the centaurs rather frequently in some of the endings for this game, I truly believe they want Motaro in this game, but due to time constraints and prioritizing, they opted to work on other modes instead of animating him for combat.
If they wanted to simply leave him out, they could have retconned him, like they did with Kitana and Mileena's story.
They even made a 3D centaur model of him and had him standing on his hind legs preparing to attack Johnny Cage, in my view, they had every intention of including him, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they cut out his voice acting and prominence, simply because they couldn't make him right.

About the point of you make of Motaro's death and it's significance, everything you mentioned, Sindel's empowerement and all, still could have happened if like I suggested, Motaro was seen taking out military squads on his own before dying. He could even have had dialogue.

Like I said, I agree he should have had more spotlight and they could have done better. They should have done better with this lovely cute character that, because of his own bad luck, ended up omitted from the game.
However, I'm very very happy he made a cameo appearance and that they at least cared to show some kind of respect when he died (wasn't he carried over by some of the bad guys to Kahn?).
I love Motarito.

So sad, but, so true.
Motaro as a DLC would have a TOTAL epic winner...so much more than some character who will remain nameless for now.
