If the third installment in the transformers movies is indeed darker toned, then we should expect more tragic moments than before. I know there have been some Autobot deaths in the past films, (Jazz, Arcee [Chromia+Flareup/Elita 1], Jetfire, and Optimus [comes back to life though]) but if the story is more fleshed out as confirmed, we may see a death as/more tragic [than] Optimus' death in ROTF. Who's death may be the most tragic? The candidates are: Bumblebee (you saw this coming), Optimus (seeing Prime die AGAIN is actually ticking me off), and...Ironhide? Yes, Ironhide. For some reason, I feel Ironhide will be the one getting canned in DOTM for the following reasons:
1. He's a character who's had actual character development in the past two films.
2. He's a character who is generally liked/loved by the majority of TF fans universally.
3. The fact that he along with Bumblebee and Starscream have been pushed to leader class toy status (though Starscream deserved it to begin with)
and 4. He is Optimus' oldest friend. That alone may play a key factor in DOTM.
I may be wrong or completely off, but I am concerned about Ironhide. It could be another bot to have the tragic spotlight though. What do you guys think?
