Only thing I know about Transformers was that rock song from their cartoon movie.

That cartoon movie pissed me off. Killing Prime ran me off Transformers for a long time.
I hope M Bay gets to do a Batman trilogy and LOTR reboot... LoL hehe
I'm ready for a MB Star Wars movie.
Definitely a bad move by Hasbro. And because of the backlash, they made a very awkward change to the end of the GI Joe animated movie which would have been better served with Duke dying in battle. I do like the movie, and have positive memories of it, but also have some serious issues all pretty much due to the decision to use the movie as a vehicle for moving the focus away from older toys and to promote newer ones.That cartoon movie pissed me off.

Was any Transformers cartoon or movie not primarily driven by this motivation? I'm honestly not sure, but my guess would be that they all were. Which is fine, seeing as how the cartoon series would have existed at all if it wasn't meant to serve that function (same for GI Joe). But the bad move by Hasbro was failing to see how kids developed a connection to those characters in the cartoons. They should have transitioned to the futuristic spacey toys in a more careful manner.It was a glorified toy commercial.
In the cartoon, the autobots would get shot, explode, etc., and could always be rebuilt.
It was a glorified toy commercial. Yes. It pissed a lot of people off.
It's still better than anything Bay has done though.
