    For me it was in BW at the end of the first season when the second 'moon' turned into a weapon and was going to mess things up.

    I first saw the G1 movie in 2005 (Strange that) and I was surprised that Prime died within the first half hour.

    I remember watching Beast Wars as a kid, and when Optimus Primal died at the end of season 1, all I could say was: "... Optimus?" I fell in love with Beast Wars after that. Lets not forget that the end of season 2 was a mind blowing and chilling cliffhanger.

    *opens can of worms*

    That the decepticons finally figured out how to replace their obvious training weapons, with the lethal variants in the 1986 movie.

    And that Ratchet, Prowl and Ironhide suddenly sucked ass when it came to aiming accurately.....

    I'm going with ALL the autobot "Causualties" in the G1 TF Movie including Prime. I was not expecting ANY deaths in that movie.

    I had a feeling Sentinel was going to be a traitor in DOTM. Maybe because he's voiced by Galvatron. (Spock never voices good robots... but please prove me wrong if he does)

    Optimus death in the '86 movie.

    At the time, Rodimus Prime was in fact going to be the new leader. It's seems a for gone conclusion now, but before seeing the movie.... he was just Autobot Hero (I think).

    Spike saying "shit"

    The cancelation of the G1 cartoon after Rebirth.

    Finding out that Japan was still making TF shows after the US series ended.

    Beast Wars.

    Car Robots. In 2000 I really felt Transformers was getting ready to die. And, that Car Robots was the big fairwell. What was shocking was the return of vehicles.... and that the toys were so damn amazing. Topping it all off with a new show.... I couldn't believe it.

    The '07 movie. I honestly thought it would never happen. There was so much talk leading up to it, so many times it fell through. Then with everything we heard/saw during pre-production I thought it would be the worst. The best shock of all was that I loved it.

    Animated- it was such a departure style wise from anything before.

    Animated getting cancelled. ROTF sucking ass. Megan Fox getting dumped from DOTM.

    2003- Master Piece Convoy and Binaltech being shown for the first time.

    Cullen coming back to voice Optimus for the movies, and to a greater extent that they got him to do the new show.

    That DOTM made over a billion $,$$$,$$$,$$$.

    It's crazy to think that when Hasbro decided to kill off so many characters in the '86 movie they thought kids wouldn't care.

    The Technorganic Cybertron of BM.

    The rapid rise and fall of Dream Wave comics.

    Finally getting a Unicron figure in Armada.

    Cliffjumpers death 5 minutes into TF Prime.

    The internet brought some special suprises as well.....

    ....ebay, a place I can buy vintage MIB G1, WOW!
    .... a thriving online community of TF fans. At the time I was shocked there were still so many fans.

    ..... That there was actually a Blue Bluestreak in the Diaclone line.

    For me, the greatest was probably the start of the Decepticon attack on the Autobots in TFTM. When the Decepticons burst into the Autobot ship and started killing them, that was definitely shocking to the 6 year old me. Seeing characters you've seen taking blaster fire numerous times with no repercussion whatsoever, suddenly dying on screen, really got burned into memory.

    This plus the wholesale slaughter of much of the season one cast.

    Followed by Dinobot's death and TFA Prowl.

    I'd have to say Ironhide being killed. I read it in the novel, and just cringed. I thought for sure that it was a way to throw the fans off balance, and when I saw it acted out in the theater, it was devastating.

    It forever sealed for me the thought that Bay has no respect for the franchise at all by killing off major characters, who for millennia have survived the worst their race has to offer, only to die on this dust ball planet in the most insignificant way.

    In no particular order:

    -Optimus' death in TT:TM
    -When the 'Cons just barged into the Autobot ship and slaughtered everyone in TT:TM. :D 
    -Everything in Code of Hero
    -Smokescreen's graphic death in Armada
    -Sari's true origin revealed in TFA
    -Sentinel Prime's heel-turn in DotM
    -"Time to find out." in DotM (although that one is moreso "awesome" than "shocking", but still rather :jawdropper: )
    -Optimus losing his memory in TFP

    That's not really a matter of disrespect though (if Igor had appeared and starting humping Megatron's dead body, that would be disrespect ;)  ). It's happened countless times throughout the franchise. What does it matter if they die in a shocking betrayal on Earth or get shot twice by Long Haul's pistol in space? Or a Predacon incinerated by a Decepticon warship on Prehistoric Earth? Or ripped apart by Megatron in a city? Executed in the streets or dismembered by a fellow Decepticon? Blown up as they're exiting the atmosphere or dumped in space and reformatted into a completely different character? Characters die in hundreds of place in hundreds of scenarios. Sometimes they get acknowledged, sometimes they don't. There's no real set way to die or address said death.

    sentinel's betrayal. g1 prime's death was also kinda surprising. i was also surprised at how SS died in the g1 movie. i mean i expected something to mess up his coronat- i mean bad comedy but i didn't expect him to disintegrate.
