Exactly. It's impossible to compare Transformers to Spider-Man or Batman.
Yes, there's been different takes on Spidey and Bats, but however the core titles and core story have remained the same.
Transformers hasn't.
How hasnt it?

That's an oxymoron. There's no such thing as a stupid Camaro.
Camaro's are fueled by KICKASS.

Does it look like a purple and black, Robots in Disguise bat/jet/dragon/car thing?
Or do you see big-chested ol' Megatron?
When you think of Starscream, is your first mental vision that of a purple&silver jet, a cybernetic shark, a black bomber?
Or do you see a red, gray and blue jet?
Why? Why don't you relate those names to those images?
Because they were good the first time around... which is why those initial core designs and character makeups are CONSTANTLY revisited, more than 20 years later.
It doesn't matter if there's been a few dozen craptastic, toy-selling incarnations out there... I fail to see how that fact warrants absolutely unfaithful crap to torment all that which made the original source enjoyable.
You know what also gets me?
Fine, it's a new generation, a new audience must be addressed who live inside a different era & public mindset... you could still just take the initial origin episodes of the cartoon, THOUGHTFULLY update it, and it would, if done by people who aren't morons, become godly.
Would someone be able to take this movie 25 years from now & update it so anyone could give a rat's ass?
I really don't see how this movie has deviated that far from the original. Sonray listed a few elements that have been kept over from G1. There's perhaps stuff from other lines I'm not as familiar with that has been translated, as well. Even Starscream is an F22 Raptor in the film, the contemporary equivalent of his original F15 form, just in realistic colours.
Why didn't people jump up and down with the origins in Armada?

Ah... poopy script.
Far too great a deviation from original designs. (But they were more realistic and CGI-heavy!)

It was Digimon with robots... and REALLY annoying, less realistic brats than Spike had been.
Besides, Transformers DIED for alot of us back when Monstercons, Throttlebots, Pretenders and Microbots started popping up.

Beast Wars wasn't original. It was a good cartoon, but its premise and execution still borrowed from G1. BW wasn't any more original than Armada.

... ... ...yeesh. I think I'm done arguing with you, about anything.
