ROTB didn't give me a great big "WOW" feeling.

Bumblebee was good cause outside of the battles on Cybertron which were largely just a G1 love-letter in terms of Cybertronian designs, it was a smaller cast and predicated on relationships and added a sorely needed human element that had been missing from the sequels.

ROTB was a "return to form" in terms of the live-action continuity. I'll admit that I missed the very beginning just before the title card and 1994 setting establishment, so this is just an analysis of what I did catch. It had more characters and less focus on those "characters". In many ways, the Maximals were just window dressing without much development. I wasn't all that invested in the Unicron aspect and Scourge comes across as "generic bad guy doing generic bad guy things for generic bad guy boss".

Noah and Mirage had a decent relationship, but Noah didn't move me like Charlie did.

Not the first time Pearlman has done a version of Primal, and while he did a respectable job, it would've been more appropriate to have Chalk do it. Seriously, they could've gotten one of the BW actors even if it's only for a cameo!

The spoiler towards the end did throw me for a small loop, but I'm not that surprised given the Image Comics/Skybound release of "Void Rivals".

I would give ROTB a 7 cause I didn't hate it, I just wasn't as thrilled as I wanted to be.

Not surprisingly, but the brother was wearing a MMPR shirt which looked appropriate for the '94 setting.
