You actually believe that we are Bay's aimed fan base. We are already fans of Transformers, so he is attempting to get the larger group of people who aren't already fans to get into his movie.
I agree with most of what you were saying, but I'm tired of TF fans comparing how Bay is doing the movie to how they would do it. Of course he is doing this movie different than what you or I would, because we would be doing in it on the basis of our fan-isms and he is doing it in an attempt to make big profit.
Exxxxxactly. You'd think those points would be a given at this stage in the game, particularly after being beaten to death here, but I guess not!
I'd agree with you both had it not been for a couple key things...
They're taking a new approach to this and in the process are upsetting alot of fans by taking the previous canon and basically saying "eh f*** it!"
I understand what theyre talking about when they say how dull and plain the g1 designs would look in a "live action world," however, some of these characters have had such radical changes, on some of them I don't even know what the hell im supposed to be looking at (I'm talking to you bonecrusher!)
Don't get me wrong, I know that the fans are the minority of their target audience, however, a good portion of the fanbase is quite upset with some of the changes made, or just some of the decisions made. I for one think some of the designs are ludicrously stupid looking.
Moving onto the voice acting, as I said before, Weaving has a very dull range of voices, at least in my opinion. His acting is no better either (again my opinion). Everything I've seen him in I honestly could not stand his acting, and thus hated watching his character throughout the movie.
I honestly do not understand why the people in charge of casting decisions, appeased the fans by getting cullen, but then turning around and not giving welker the job? It just puzzles me... why they would pick weaving over welker, when it has been proved that welker is a much better voice actor with a much much larger range of voices. To be honest he might even be cheaper than weaving... but thats only my guess.

Now if Cullen wasn't voicing prime i would have no objection to Weaving doing megatron, but when you have one iconic voice but you dont have the other it doesnt seem right. Although I think Bay will ruin the movie by focusing to much on humans.
I'd have to agree with your first statement here. Thats what i don't get, why have cullen but no welker? Just seems kinda weird theyd go that route. And I too would not have minded so much had cullen not gotten the job and neither did welker. (although my preference would be to have cullen and welker, rather than having neither).
