I for one, don't mind this. Like it or hate it, at least this'll ensure that TF Movies will be consistent in between one another.

Big explosions and robots may be what attract the general audience but Transformers has the potential to be so much more nowadays with all the material there is and all these movies seem to really care about is explosions and things that general public will be impressed with until they leave the theatre.
And so many things have been retconned in that make even less sense (like, how does retconning Car Robots help G1 in any way? - It doesn't).Robinson wrote:G1 was never coherent.
over the last 25 years so many things have been retconned in just to make sense.

I'm just saying it could be so much better than they've made these live action films.

Who is this "us" you refer to?

Since when has Transformers ever been about moving stories and Oscar worthy acting? It's badass cars that transform into even badderass robots that fight and beat the crap out of each other. Add in a few Baysplosions and it's prefect.
I'm glad he isn't quitting.

The public's opinion [and their money] is what makes movies happen. That's how sequels happen, and how even bigger sequels happen.
If Bay, Orci, and Kurtzman were to write a story that only G1 fans understood then the movie would fail. Kids wouldn't understand it because they weren't around for G1. I don't think kids like boxy robots either. The public wouldn't understand it [or like it]. No one [or not many] would spend their money watching unconvincing, emotionless, boxy robots clumsily duke it out over cubes of energon.
Face it, G1 was full of way more crap and cheese than the movies. It was really only just a toy commercial. I love G1 BTW. But I love the new movies more. The 2007 movie was unlike anything I could've imagined. Bay, Orci, and Kurtzman made Transformers into something new, unique, and almost alive. I don't think anyone could do much better.
