I hated Ironhide and Ratchets death, they were pretty brutal. Ironhide was funny and so intimidating and Ratchet had some funny lines. "The boys pheromone levels suggest he wants to mate with the female." I didn't know who Jazz was, but once I saw the G1 series, I realized how badass and awesome he was. Sad to see him go. Speculation is that Sideswipe got hunted down, as well as Dino (Mirage) and the three Wreckers.
