Having more heart and a family aspect sound like good things in my book, as they might suggest less vulgarity this time around.

When are these folks going to realize that the main characters of The Transformers need to be the actual Transformers???
The sad truth of the matter is that these films ride on the success of catering to the lowest common denominator of casual moviegoers instead of fans, which leads to the human cast being the main focus since that's who general audiences want to see. Oh, they also want to see the robots too, but to them, the robots are "whats" rather than "whos". Plot devices, pretty special effects, and decoration rather than people. The non-speaking Decepticons being portrayed as savage monsters also doesn't help things.

So basically, Human Alliance/Rescue Bots: The Movie.

Or even something like Masterforce, which was another series that used its humans elegantly and competently.

The lack of humans in that show seemed to be okay for most people, but there were a lot of other things that people disliked about it at the time that the lack of humans probably didn't matter either way. But since the series was so poorly received back then, Hasbro's never tried a human-less TF TV series ever again.
The closest they ever came back to doing this was with the Omega Keys arc in TF: Prime season 2, as well as the Predacons Rising movie, which were both devoid of human characters and that notion seemed much better received for each.

Well, there were those cave men... (Loved BW, BTW.

He said "Beast
Machines". Waspinator's flashback shouldn't count.
