I was four and I caught a rerun of the Transformers movie where Optimus Prime dies. I was not okay for a few weeks.
My granddad had also died right about the same time, so it was a double whammy.
Not to mention the unceremonious murder of several other characters throughout, that part with the guys being dropped into the acid with a close up of them melting, the court with the "innocent" declaration followed up by throwing the innocent bot into a pool of shark(ticon)s and the "judge" laughing in evil delight about it, the world-devouring monster planet ... That movie did not mess around
(And it was friggin awesome)
