It should not have carried the Transformers name, if it was called 'Robot Maniac Attack' it would have been passable as a summer timewaster. Sentinel Prime sell out to the Decepticons? Yeah,right, & Obi Wan just went over to the Dark side!!!

Don't you get what I'm on about? In all the cartoon series,from G1 to Animated, the Autobot leaders have always been noble & compassionate,I can't remember them ever killing an unarmed,injured opponent.

Why did all the people die?"etc,etc. I have always used the cartoons as a moral guide for my son,they were something we could enjoy & relate to together.I feel betrayed.

hope someone like Burton takes the reigns for the next installment.

Who the heck did Batman kill??
Trying to think,,did he do it knowingly?
Or was it by inaction, or direct action?
& Rodimus Prime is a bad example of thoughtless brutality,,just a soldier thrust into authority b4 he was ready.

Your comparison of Optimus Prime with Bin Laden is a poor one.

Now I'm sad.

I used to be Catholic,but it turns out most priests are pedophiles,
& the catholic CHURCH has killed thousands in the name off our Lord.
Unfortunately the last Bay movie f#*ked me up the arse
And upskirting the current wench as she walked up the stairs was distasteful
