Sentinel Prime is the best kind of baddie - the kind that kind of has a point, but is simply going about things in the wrong way. I did pity him slightly as he pleaded with his helmet off. He looked so pathetic...
He should've known that if you're a bad guy, Optimus is gonna get that face. It's only a matter of time.
I didn't even feel sad or phased when Ironhide or Q died. They had no character development, so the only difference between killing them and a drone, was the name to me. I felt sorry for Sentinel when he died. He only wanted to restore Cybertron to it's former glory. He just lost his way in doing so.
Wait,wait,wait, not being sad about WheeljaQ's death I can go with it, but IRONHIDE? He was the bot with most characterization and screen-time except for Optimus and BB, if you don't feel sad for Ironhide, you won't feel sad for anyone, man.
