And since so many of the Decepticons were new and expendable characters, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad to have given them personalities. And the Autobots weren't that much better either, except for a few lines and the basic "Ironhide baddass, Ratchet scientific, Jazz cool" guideline.
I understand that Bob and Larry might not be the best men for the job, but the guys who wrote the first one (or at least the guys who allowed to the first one to end up as it did) sure weren't, either.

That's especially true with characters where they gave parts of their characters and allowed for some development, mainly with the Autobots of course, but now that they've been introduced they can be expounded upon. That's actually the biggest problem for this movie. Hasbro is going to want to make toys, which means they will always have to introduce new characters, which means the old characters still won't get the screen time we want. This franchise is in a type of constant Catch-22 situation.

You're absolutely right there. I think that the Autobot roster is great as it is, except they need the replacement after well, that casualty. Perhaps Prowl.
I think that rather than just make up new characters and show them do something "X-TREEEEEEME!!!", they really should develop who they already have. Since they have the introductions out of the way, now's their chance to develop!
As for the toy part, well... I have a feeling we'll be seeing new alts. Whatever new GM car or truck that comes out will probably get a shameless plug!

Therein is another thing that makes me wonder. If they have to change the alt modes of the existing characters in order to sell new cars and new toys (let's be honest, they have to do the car selling so they don't have to spend absurd amounts of money designing their own cars, which as Bay points out allows them to save money to do other things), wouldn't that take up production time because they have to redo the designs and transformation sequences of the characters? Unless they just made them into that year's models of the same makes, anyway.
And I like this core group too. They were fun to meet and there is oodles they can do to further improve them.
I liked the movie, but I know there are things they can do to make the sequel even better, especially with the people who didn't really know Transformers before now being introduced to them and not needing as much exposition.

I believe multiple viewings helps. I saw it for a third time last weekend and I am pretty sure I caught most of the action.

That might be the worst endorsement of a movie ever...

That would be the worst possible thing that could be done. The fans themselves cant come to a consensus on what to put in the movie. No fan involvement is the best involvment.
