The 2007 movie was more coherent, with Autobots who actually fought back against the Decepticons! Seriously, Bumblebee probably kicked more aft by himself than the entire 1986 cast barring Prime's charge!

I agree with your little quip about the Autobots seeming to be in a perpetual state of retreating. It didn't always make the most sense in the tactical sense; I suppose you have to look at it like this: It being a movie, the premise is trying to stray away from the "same old places, same old faces" found in the regular series. i.e. Unicron is a galaxy spanning threat, the Autobots are retreating so we can be introduced to the Quintessons, the Junkions, etc.
What parts did you find mystifying, bizarre, or just plain stupid though? And you can't say Wheelie!

Oh, I don't need to say Wheelie. I can say him, but I don't need to.
Basically, everything from the Autobots leaving the City to Unicron-hell, Unicron himself is bizarre and mystifying, as he suddenly appears with no explanation or foreshadowing in the show and BAM! He eats a planet. Then goes to threaten Cybertron. While being afraid of the Matrix... for some reason. Which also shows up out of the blue.
Also, the Planet of Junk, that stupid musical number and Quintessa.

As for nostalgia, I saw the '86 movie in theaters. I remember it fondly. But I won't let nostalgia filters blind me to its flaws.

It's cool to see the Transformers interacting with the humans but the problem manifests itself through the egregious amounts of exposure to the human cast, especially when it's just used for cheap toilet humor or [insert latest military official here] bickering with Optimus Prime and not much else.
