I never understood the GEEWUNNERS way of things. I mean, I watched G1, it was cool, it was fun. but it was SO far from being the best. I understand the nostalgia factor, I grew up with Beast Wars. Yet, once I started on the next TF series, I knew what was up, I didnt care if optimus was a truck or a monkey, I just knew that he was the leader of the good guys, and I liked him! He was couragious and he turned into a firetruck! Whats not to love?
Even when I was little, I knew that the transformers series were not all connected, and I was fine with the diversity, RiD Being my favorite series because of it, even to this day!
If they make the next movie a reboot, I say that people need to deal with it. Look at the new spiderman film. May not be in the same storyline, but its spiderman, no one really complained about it, did they? No one screamed "WERES DA EMO GUY!?"
no, they just sat down and watched the new spiderman. it was as simple as that.
And Transformers, IMO, would be no different. As long as Bumblebee is big and yellow, and hangs out with humans, the paople will love him. As long as Optimus is the big heroic leader, people will adore him for being as such. And as long as they stop throwing the story out the window with all the little inconsistancies and dick jokes, the fans will love it too!
I am yet to stumble upon a reason why a reboot would be a bad thing. The first three films ran their course, it's time for some new meat.
