Since when is it not okay for a giant robot that has the ability to turn into a truck allowed to have lips?

You are right about the no girlfriends part. My wife refuses to let me date other women.
But I digress.
As I have stated before, there are some logical changes I support. I agree with not makeing Megatron be a gun. For that to happen, he would have to shrink, which is silly. I would have him still be similar, such as a large cannon or howitzer. Maybe a rail gun.
I agree with not having things dissapear, such as Prime's trailer.
But changes that are unnesessary are unwanted.
And don't say that all of the characters are there since they are missing some obvious classics like Soundwave. And the ones they do have do not even slightly resemble what once was. The film may as well be the Gobot Movie given its scarce resemblence to the Transformers.

I am sorry you have a problem with people caring about the properties they loved in their youth being reimagined by Hollywood.

Maybe we are nitpicking. Personally, I have seen so many things that I dislike that each new irritant is simple one more straw for the camel that is my frustration.

Also, please take note of the fact that it is possible to convey your thoughts without anger or quasi-profanity.

[No Longshot, this guy is 100% right on every count and your making up excuses to protect those geeks because you know it. Im not saying you are like that, but pretty much all the people who do the comic book movie bashing, from the " this isnt like the cartoon" crap dont have any sort of life outside the computer, its true..sorry

I dissagree. Did you know that Marvel sold 1.2 million (yes, that's million) coppies of New Avewngers issue 1? The reason I mention it is because comics are so mainstream these days that no longer are they restricted to kids and dorky adults who live in their parents' basements.
I work in marketing and my entire livelyhood revolves around the study of demographics. Would it surprise you to know that there are as many 30+ year old married professionals reading comics as under 18 year olds? That means that at least a substantial percentage of the comic enthusiasts (yeah, that's what us old timers call ourselves. So sue me) are older, married men (and yes, women) who have lives but still gripe when Hollywood tarnishes their beloved mythology because they either want to make a fast buck off the loyal fans, or because they want to stamp their own personal imprint on the glorious decades long history of a character out of ego. Oh, and some are just incompetant.
But those of you who have been around for longer than a week may notice that I don't bask Sam Ramie (despite the mess that is Spidey 3) because I love what he did with the first 2 and I don't back Bryan Singer (despite Superman Returns) because I love what he did with the first 2 X-Men films. So it isn't all about bashing every director. But sometimes it would be nice if Hollywood just said, what the hell, let's make one for the fans. Instead, thay assume the fans will come regardless and make it for some mythical "general public". Guess what, demographic studies show that the average comic fan IS the general public.

I would go on with my pointless rant but I have been drinking quite a bit and my wife is calling me back to the party. Take care, all.

I've been waiting my whole life since I first saw the TF cartoons to see what a "real" TF looks like. I think I've never wanted to see a movie more in my life than this one. And I know this movie is gonna blow me away visually but, there have just been so many "What the F were they thinking?" moments throughout the entire production of this movie that it just wears on you after a while. Then you start doubting whether or not this movie will live up to your expectations.

Bottom line...I think ALL of the fans of the original cartoon want this movie to be so badass and exceed their expectations but, there's just been too many "problems" that have made them, and myself, doubt how it's gonna turn out. I think those fans truly want to tell everyone how awesome this movie is going to be but are afraid that it could suck and be extremely let down.
