The whole "it's not faithful to the source material" is like my favourite line. How would the films have benefited, in any way, with sticking closer to the material? You'd expect the original Transformers or their many iterations to be high art and not a long string of mostly trashy attempts to capture some of the more magic, bigger Japanese toy franchises from the past thirty or so years with the way they rip into him. I just utterly fail to see how Bay's vision of the transformers is somehow worse than any other iteration. I mean at least his are big, high concept spectacles unlike Beast Wars for example, which was a show I loved as a child but it's aged so horribly in the last ten or so years I find it unwatchable as an adult.
