Just a thought. I'm in Iraq and I'm not one to pick apart little crap but as I was watching the movie lastnight, when the autobots came to earth, why did ironhide not "tear up" the house like the others did in the city and prime did in the field??

"omigod, what happened to the pool?!"

Compaired to the damage to the city, the baseball feild and the feild, the area that the pool was at wasn't damaged at all. Just the pool. The way the others came in the house and yard would have been hit and destroyed. Do ya get it??

I get what you are saying.

If he was flying down to Earth, he would have to be crashing diagonally, and would have at least hit some surrounding part of the pool, right?

Maybe the house was a bit too low?

even if the house was to low there still would have been more damage. When ratchet landed in the base ball feild he broke through all the iron and concreat of the walls and bleachers. Prime went throught a "mountain" and the city was destroyed by jazz. Just not right to me.

Baseball field was Jazz the alley was Rachet. And besides I don't think the veiwers wanna see fired humans from Ironhides entrance :shock:

Yeah, they didn't show any kind of collateral damage trail leading to the pool. Strange.

Maybe prime squeezed him out like a turd, and he just kinda dropped straight down?

The other bot shown falling to earth's atmosphere with Prime, Ratchet and Jazz was Arcee. She landed on a Burger King. Here is the lost footage from the movie ...

As to what happened to her ... one can only wager a guess.

When Ironhide climbs out of the pool there is what looks some damage to the pool not caused from the act of getting out, it's on the left hand side. If he hit the pool length wise then there would be no need to cause any damage and is why only water is displaced, hitting water is as hard as hitting ground at that speed so it would have stopped his crash fast. I would have liked to have seen more water displaced from the pool is all though.

Jazz landed in the Baseball park not Ratchet.

Prime skipped over the top of a pretty small hill not a mountain, looked more like a dirt mound even and the city was destroyed by jazz ? Jazz made a large pothole and I've seen plenty worse in most streets with construction going on and then he crushed a neon car dealership sign and not an entire city lol

The impact of Ironhide hitting a swimming pool would be the equivalent of ... hmmm, say ...

Megatron punching a baby.

If he landed in the ocean, sure ... he wouldn't go very deep. I understand where you are coming from, but just think for a second.

That swimming pool should no longer exist after such a massive impact.

Have you ever seen a morbidly obese kid jump off a diving board? They can move some fricken water! This was IRONHIDE ... from outer SPACE!

If the whole entire side of a stadium didn't stop Jazz, I'm thinking IH could penetrate roughly 10 feet of water ... and then 50 to 100 feet of earth below it. (when considering his obviously high trajectory and relatively perpendicular angle of impact)

Maybe this topic will pique the interest of the Mythbusters one day, but ... somehow I doubt it!

Anyway ... that water slowed Ironhide down just as much as I just slowed the earth down by tapping the floor just now.

Prime landed in the pool.

Noticed the water had all gone? He musta come straight down through the atmosphere, and pretty much boared a whole straight down through the pool.

I think it was Prime, too ... but the general consensus is that it was IH. I guess there's no way of knowing for sure. I'm not fully convinced, but I'm going along with the Ironhide theory until I can make time to look at the scene again.

What give's you that idea????If you look at the family's drive-way after he gets out of the pool you see the pickup truck that Ironhide scans and then he drives off.
