Could Optimus Prime *blank* with the Matrix?

Ironhide's death was so sad and shocking. But I guess we have Dino and Sideswipe to give us humor now.

Jetfire has better chances he had a spark torn off and some parts left.

Ironhide disintegrated. No spark, no body.

Yeah, I might have been more into liking this movie if that happened, but they were wasted as characters too.

No. He was discorporated by Cosmic Rust (see the concept art), presumably intended by the film makers to "raise the stakes". Optimus couldn't just repeat his Matrix-trick on Ironhide.

But wait! What about Jazz! Quick, someone dig him up!

Ironhide's dust was mixed with water to make a delicious mineral rich energy drink for Prime. So yeah, no dice.

With the sheer amount of plotholes and inconsistencies already in the movies, it won't be hard for them to come up with some macguffin and convoluted half reason to bring back Ironhide and any other popular bots.

"Cosmic Rust Gun"

That would be a cool way to bring him back and give him a new alt. mode.
