I'll be linking to this from my Transformers reviews page, but I'm locking comments to just people on my Friends list. This is one time I don't particularly want a lot of responses, for reasons that should become clear.
( Post behind cut, I expect to ramble on a bit. )
So, just keep this in mind if you're a transfan. The movie is an opportunity to expand Transformers, to add to the story, not just retell it. If it sucks, it sucks...sticking to the 1980s stuff won't keep it from sucking in any case. Worry about the core, not the surface details.
After all, consider that 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime is an awesome toy, regardless of how long his smokestacks are. So stop obsessing about the details.
