Did the writers even see the original episodes?

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2007)

I will give the movie this...intense, non-stop action & excellent CG's. That's about it. It would have been a great movie if it was not called Transformers.
As a kid growing up in the 80's, I do not think I missed a single episode. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the movie. It was obvious the writers sold out to GM. Bumblebee was a VW not a camaro, Jazz was a Porche not a Solstice, Optimus was a cabover not a straight nose, Ironhide was a van, not a truck Megatron was a gun not a jet, I don't even know who Barricade and Blackout were, the robot form was nothing like the original, and they didn't have the classic sound when they transformed.
In my opinion, if you are going to make a movie based off of an already existing product, don't make up your own version of what it should be like.
What's next...Roots with all white actors?
