Agreed,unlike the other movies i actually felt emotion st this part in the movie.Seeing him get gunned down by my fvorite character was brutal...But seeing Soundwave getting everyones "favorite" bot shove his arm cannon into Wave's chest then blowing his face off made me mad...

Megatron squishing all those little Scalpels. I thought that was awesome.

Megatron probably.

But Wheelie and Brains went out like true autobots...Well if they actually died since the ship didn't explode.

For originally being introduced as a sniveling Decepti-snitch, I thought Wheelie (plus Brains) went out honorably as HEROES.... if indeed they died.

Ironhide was my biggest WTF because I too thought he would die in a battle where he was always in the thick of things. Shot in the back by someone thought to be a friend was not the "honorable" death I thought a warrior of his caliber deserved, which I think made it so impactful!!!!

The Decepti-deaths were all tragic in terms of, "Damn, now they're gone so reboot here we come!" was what kept running through my head. No Meg, no Screamer, no Shocky or SW.... the core of G1 villains are gone, save for Dr. Archeville (his name is drawing a blank from my brain).

Dug the pure brutality of Q's execution, especially with him pleading for a reprieve. But IH's was the best cause it filled me with such a sense of betrayal & realizing that in war, there are no friends at the top!

I have to admit, my arm was trembling in the IH death scene. Trully a sad and tragic death for one of the most memorable Bot's from the Bayverse.

I'm glad they gave us a Leader figure, because he deserved it.
Made me just hate Sentinel even more, and made it easy not to care when Prime busted a cap in his ass.

I think that was the point. To get people riled up about Sentinel's betrayal. If he didn't kill anyone and just destroyed the base, it would have been just "eh, whatever" to most people. But this way someone they cared about and emotionally invested in was violently and treacherously taken from them, so there had to be payback.

Soundwave's death was awesome but I loved how Prime manhandled Shockwave.

I wish i could agree on the Ironhide thing, but aside from the Mr. Badass one liners he was given throughout the entirety of the series, it wasn't too big of a deal when he died, although my wife cried when he died, if that gives you any credence.

To me, the best was...i can't remember now if it was Soundwave or Q, but the one where the gun gets rammed into the dude's chest and the other dude blows his head off? Thats was cool. lol

Most of the deaths (aside from the brought-down-by-human-fire deaths) were pretty brutal, but I'd have to give the best death to Ironhide.
This is not only because of the senselessness of Sentinel's attack, but also watching Ironhide rust from the inside out as a result, and fall in a heap of oxidized metal all the while wondering "Why" (You can see it in the look on his face just before his head rusts apart). For a character who honestly wasn't THAT important to me (I only just got my first movieverse Ironhide figure last month) to die in a way that unsettled me so... it was not only the most visually interesting with the rusting effect, but the most important to me in terms of the story.

Honourable mention goes to Megatron because you could tell Prime was just sick of his sh*t. Ripped him apart with only one arm, and as mentioned, added to his headcount.

Soundwave getting destroyed by Bumblebee. The whole theater cheered for that.

Megatron getting beheaded.

Ironhide was THE kill. I'm surprised nobody brought up Laserbeak yet, that made me giggle.

I was kinda hoping Soundwave would kill Bumblebee. I'm probably in the monority with this opinion lol

I was actually kinda hoping he would, too. Or at least mess him up pretty bad. Anyway, my favorite death was probably a tie between Sentinel's and Ironhide's (the only thing that would've made 'Hide's better is if they had somehow squeezed in a "Such heroic nonsense" kinda line from Sentinel).

What about all those humans who got vaporized!? Every time someone was blown up by a Decepticon, someone sitting beside me kept jumping in their seat like they where spazzing out or something.

I busted out laughing watching the decepticon with the rifle walking thru the street just poppin humans. It was pretty hilarious.

Sentinel Prime did say something along the lines of, "Autobot, I hereby decommission you from duty," right before he finished Ironhide off.

This was by far the most impactful death in the movie, followed closely by Que. I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach during Ironhide's death scene. It kind of braced me a bit for such as seen to happen later on, as with Que.

For me a tie,

Ironhide taken out by Sentinel

And

The way Bumblebee took out Soundwave

Bumblebee taking out Soundwave was flat awesome. Ironhide was shocking but it was good to know that no character was safe as even Bumblebee almost got it too. Sentinel vs Optimus was one sided until Megatron interferred. Optimus vs Megatron was short lived. But I totally enjoyed seeing Starscream get taken out- that bastard deserved it.

Not to mention how cool he was right before this with Sideswipe and the TOTAL NON REACTION from any of the Autobots at his death.

Your right about the lack of non-reaction, but With Sentinel still right there, it wasn't the best time to mourn I'd say.

But death wise, there were a lot of good ones, I did like the decepticon being ripped apart by the 3 wreakers and them saying, this is going to hurt.......a lot.

I agree, Sentinel is almost if not an equal match to Optimus in a fight. And the fact that the autobots weren't paying attention until he said, "I hereby decommision you."


I hated Ironhides death, he was my favorite character.

I believe that many would agree if I said that it was very dramatic when SP killed Ironhide. It's amazing how it wasn't mentioned afterwards.

I think Dylan's was good, too. That guy got what he deserved. Electrocution. Wonder if he had survived how would he had payed for his treason?

Que's execution was cruel and cold. I was kinda worried that Bumblebee would be shot there.
