Which Decepticon had the harshest demise?

What a memory you have, Martin!
I did actually wince at Bumblebee ripping out Ravage's spine.

Demolisher, because at the time I thought Prime's harsh take-no-prisoners manner was going to be a plot thread that would be explored.

Wishful thinking!!
Though Prime's behaviour comes no surprise after his callous dispatch of Bonecrusher in the first film.

To be fair, Bonecrusher, and Grindor in this film, weren't killed in cold blood. They were the ones initiating the attack, and still fighting when they died. In both cases Prime had no time to waste. Demolishor was very different - he was trying to escape, he had been rendered harmless, and there was no life-or-death time pressure on Prime.

Sideway's death was the harshest, mostly because he didn't get to do anything!

Sideways, cause his toy bio says he's just a courier who doesn't like fighting.

I don't mean to start a debate...well... I guess with me that's kind of unavoidable but...
Given how Megatron and most of the "dead" Decepticons from the first film were repaired - wouldn't it be better to say that certain Decepticons were "destroyed" rather than that they "died" ?
I mean - clearly NO BODY really dies in these movies - well almost. At worse, a Transformer is destroyed in some fashion.
But I presume that all of these folks can be repaired, no?

Apart from Megatron, no-one ever said they were the same guys. Blackout's lookalike is called Grindor, for example. And he started out as a Mini-Con Skateboard didn't he?

It is an interesting question. I was surprised that they never stated that Grindor WAS a different guy to Blackout. He looked so similar it had me thinking maybe it was supposed to be the same guy.
Hasbro's toy names don't always match up with what is on screen, after all...

Okay, I can see this becoming a sticking point for me as I've already mentioned it in another thread. It seems obvious that they're supposed to be, from the film-makers' point of view, the Decepticons from the first film reanimated. Any name reassignment must surely be Hasbro trying to sell more repaints on the basis of them being a "new" character. Which is silly, because the kids still want the originals. There was a letter in last months Titan comic from a reader looking for Blackout.
Anyhoo, I voted for BGlriancdkoorut
