I really enjoyed RotB. Cheetor and Rhinox were disappointing underutilized, but aside from that I thought it did a fantastic job blending the style of the Bumblebee movie with the Bay movies. The Reboot or Prequel question remains frustratingly unanswered, with hints that could be interpreted either way, but that's understandable for the sake of To Sell Toys. The kids for whom the Bay movies were their first exposure to the Transformers are at the point in the nostalgia cycle where they're becoming a prime target market, and Hasbro wouldn't want to push them away. As for what the whole deal was with the Maximals and Terrorcons, there were definitely some hints scattered throughout, and Caple has suggested in interviews that he wanted to go more in depth but was veto'd by higher ups. Hopefully if he is back for a sequel, he'll be able to expand on his ideas
