I mourned 'Hide's death! I cried the first two times I saw DOTM! Absolutely LOVED him.

It took me ages to actually comment on this---the movie pissed me off JUST that much (and then the news about Bay being asked to do 4--holy shite!). And that long (I'm military--I'm STILL mourning fallen comrade YEARS later--Bay is such an unfeeling, unaware entity).
BUT, the bit about dropping his cannons--yeah, that got a chuckle.

-sighs- Ironhide's death was definitely not given the time it needed. I still don't get how they just killed him. I mean, yeah I saw it. But it was freakin' IRONHIDE! That should've just been an injury....

*sobs* I really don't get why Bay had to turn him into rust... *chokes*
Damn you Bay! I will never forgive you for this.
To be honest, I had to laugh a few times during the movie, but when Ironhide died, I was in a state of shock. It was worse then Optimus dying (and that isn't so bad since he nearly always comes back).
Still... it was horrible.

everything about this makse me happy. because... you're right. I burst into tears when they killed Hide.... and then i couldn't believe that they didn't even mention him. he was Prime's great warrior, for spirit's sake. i was so damned pissed off about that... i'm glad that i'm not the only one that was.
at least Jazz got something.
also Red Dwarf = awesomesauce.

It wasn't even that Hide died that ticked me off. It was that no one really reacted to it. Just to Sentinel's betrayal. I mean, I would've thought Optimus or Lennox or someone would've said SOMETHING.

SAME. The bots are written in in such a way that it's like no-one cares if their characterisations make any sense. They just show up and do stuff, their reactions are random and inconsistent with personality traits they should have >.<

Yeaaahhhhh, I don't blame you at all. I couldn't believe they killed him off at first.. then I thought about the cartoon movie and was like.. "Oh I see what they did there..." TOTAL asshole is what Bay is, that's for sure..

Ahh well they HAD to kill someone off we were attached too, that's the whole point; Bumblebee was out because the kids are pretty much only seeing the film because of him, Optimus was out because of what happened in RotF, Ratchet was out because ... well, killing off the medic is pretty pointless. The point is the story NEEDED it to be someone that the audience knew and loved for the implications of it to really hit home; logically Ironhide was the best choice (As sad as that is).

Scentrus In reply to Pilotslover [2011-08-03 18:40:32 +0000 UTC]
yeah true.. I still say it should have been Bumblebee though, they could have easily brought him back as Goldbug lol

Pilotslover In reply to Scentrus [2011-08-03 18:45:05 +0000 UTC]
But they didn't rename Megatron because it'd have confused non-fans so the likelihood of that was pretty slim.
The minute you start renaming known characters in films you start causing real confusion and when it comes to big budget blockbusters it's best to assume those seeing it aren't there to be intellectually stimulated.
I didn't find his death the most shocking though, it's hinted at in the tie ins (Optimus calls Ironhide he's his best friend, anyone who knows anything about films knows that's a death sentence!); no, the one that got me was Wheeljack/Que because it was so emotive and evocative of real life scenarios especially when he begs them to talk it out ... That to me was the most shocking one.

Scentrus In reply to Pilotslover [2011-08-03 18:52:25 +0000 UTC]
Yeah that's also quite true, it wasn't a surprise to me either because of the cartoon movie where more then half of them up and die. I think the one thing I DID like however about Ironhide's death is the fact that Sentinel used the Cosmic Rust to do it. And yeah, Que's death was pretty shocking to say the least, wasn't totally expecting it.

It's always nice to have a little nod for the fans but part of the trick with a live action adaptation of existing material is collaring new fans. Heck, I only went back to G1 because of seeing the Bay films (I'm a child of the 80's so I DO remember the original but not well enough, now I know it well enough!).
But yes, I was very shocked by Que's death.

I actually found that I enjoyed Animated the most, if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it; Tom Kenny's Starscream is a very good homage for the original.

I've seen all of Animated^^ It was amazing in both English and Japanese, though the Japanese opening appealed to me more because I'm a huge anime fan lol

The opening for Animated in Japanese is definitely better!
I loved Animated, I watch it over and over (Or I would if season 3 had a DVD release ...).

I was pissed about the lack of attention Optimus got in the last one, only reaction shots were Sam and Lennox ...
I mean, really?!
This guy is the Autobot leader, in most cases he's a friend and yet we don't see any of them react to his death.
I got the reference *loves Red Dwarf*, it's more amusing if you think the Toaster is Talky ... XD

Except that Michael Bay really is a douche of a director IMO :/ Seriously. First shot of Carly. HER ASS. Only important elements in his films: Humans, human stories, explosions, hot chicks, hot chicks wearing very little, sexual innuendo, more explosions, vague hint of plot. Not necessarily in that order.
The editor did what he could with what he was given, and what Bay gave him was a piece of shiyt :< Polish a turn and it's still a turd. It had it's moments, but overall, I was dissapoint.

The freakin' turned him into rust... he complained about rust in the first movie BAY WHAT IS YOUR FUCKIN' DEAL?! First Jazz, then Arcee behind the scenes, then all but nine of the entire Autobot squad over the next unrecorded two or so years, now Ironhide?!
Bay, you are a bitch. Like Megatron. Where he's Sentinel's bitch, you're BOTH of theirs.

I mourned you Ironhide! DX My brother punched me because I was crying ;_;
I really wanted a better reaction from Lennox. Duhamel said that Ironhide was his favourite and they worked together for years. Some sort of reaction would have been nice. He just seemed a little pissed.

I think he could if he tried, I mean, Armageddon and Pearl Harbour still makes me emotional, I just dont think he wants to take time out of his action for emotion
