The whole techno-organic anatomy models from hell aesthetic is what makes folks who are hating what they are seeing cringe it seems.
I agree TF live-action dinobots look more accurate anatomically(minus the two-headed pterodactyl) but both them and these zords aesthetically feel similar with that whole techno-organic look which just creep some people out.
If Pacific Rim can do robots that do not feel like mutilated toys that look like they came fresh out of the microwave no reason for this movie to do that as well for the zords and Alpha.
