BayBEE is the exact opposite, and the Prime character suffered from that greatly. Now Bumblebee is known as the badass muscle car. Not only his design has changed, but his character, his role in the franchise has changed. Has he gained more popularity? Yes, but to me, it's for the wrong reasons. It's not Bumblebee that's popular, it's the bot carrying his name. I really dislike RiD Bee. We've had him become leader in the IDW verse, and that (to me) nasty Gen. toy (the one turned into Nightbeat and Gold fire) all of these things bug me.
Another thing is now Optimus keeps losing his face plate. I don't know why. Soundwave in TF Prime is a real departure for his physical design, not recognisable at all. As it's been said, it's small things, but it's those small things that sour it for me.

Yeah, I like those changes too along with the initial choice for the Prime Kup toy to be ironhide which had some movie elements (only the good ones, like twin arm cannons).
Yeah, there's some design alterations the movies brought that I like. Like Sideswipe now having swords.

Was he? Thought that was just Animated, and then because the Movie happened they changed Hot Shot to Bumblebee (and Red Alert to Ratchet)

Yeah that was weird for me too. You sure RAR? I know that Armada Hotshot was riginally supposed to be bumblebee, there is proof of that, but I didnt know it was the reverse case for the movie franchise.

None of these look anything close to their G1 incarnations. Hell at least Hot rod turns into a concept car.

As long as there isn't a character that's like the whiny kids in the Gamera movies we'll be fine.
