AAAAAAND the first 2-3 pages of comments on this post immediately fill up with what garbage we DON'T want to see. Wow, just imagine how much longer it'd be if those SJWs that people used to bitch about ever actually showed up! To keep the peace, we must stay...alert.
As for what one fan DOES want in this movie, there's a confrontation I've been waiting to see on the big screen since even before this project was announced: not a physical fight, but a shouting match between geezers. I want the high council of Iacon to include both Emirate Xaaron and Alpha Trion, who get in an argument over how to respond to the Decepticon threat; Xaaron wants a full on counterattack or preemptive strike before the 'Cons are at the gates, Trion's more concerned about securing Vector Sigma, the Matrix, and/or the Allspark for future generations before diverting their forces from the city, but they both end up agreeing that this Optimus fellow is the one guy they can hand command of the army to.
However, if they're pacing this out into a potential trilogy, the events I describe probably wouldn't occur until at least the end of Episode 2: The Cons of Wrath, so I might be SOL.
But if they're going to make the build-up to The Great War a complex enough political situation to fill 3 feature films, there is some merit to cramming in as much stuff as possible from the prehistory period of EVERY major continuity. I mean, if Sentinel and other 13-20 past Primes, The Overlord, the Guardians, and at least passing mentions of Primus, the Quintessons, Unicron...and even the Waruda, why not?...all play their part in a convoluted mess that young Orioptronix struggles to make sense out of while working 3 shifts a week as a dock worker, archivist, and gladiator, then it won't be possible to beat anyone over the head with any overly simplistic moral, now will it?
Life's complicated. That's why multiple multiverses exist.
