Then again, I'd already guessed that he was going to die before I ever saw the movie. Killing off an established character is a cheap way of getting a reaction from the audience. Ratchet was the medic, so killing him off would royally screw up the verse and potentially cause issues in future movies. Bumblebee is one of the cash cows, so he's safe. Optimus is another money-grossing character, and he already died in the second movie. Plus, he's Optimus Motherfuckin' Prime, so even if he did die (again), he'd just come back (again). Sideswipe had no character development whatsoever and the twins weren't coming back, so that just left Ironhide. When Hide started being a major badass in the movie, I knew that I'd guessed right and he was a goner.
As someone else mentioned above, it might not have been so bad if they had taken a moment to grieve, but that never happened. It was just completely glossed over.
