^oh, so that is the problem, i think it's a completely valid point, the humans are more focused in each movie, nothing left to say after that being pointed out,
but still i won't say that i hate it, may be the animation and action got me

^ Relax mate. I wasn't trying to turn you into a hater. It's totally fine to like Transformers movies.
This might surprise you, but I'm also not a hater. I'm more like the middleman or the neutral party. I enjoy the Transformers movies after I plant a concept in my mind that what I'm watching isn't really Transformers, It's Bayformers .

It just didn't feel like a transformer movie. As others have pointed out, it felt more like a GI Joe movie with the Transformers in the back. Heck most of the time it felt like GI Joe fighting against Decepticons. I mean in Dark of the Moon half of the battle goes to the military...I mean where the hell were the autobots? Part of the awe was that the transformers were so advanced that they made human tech look primitive. In this case it's a turkey shoot. |

It's already turned away from a "Transformers 4" discussion.
But seriously, Transformers II made my physically ill. The others weren't so bad, but that one is just miraculously bad.

I'm not a purist by any stretch, but the most advanced thing in the Bay films is that the Decepticons are master hackers. Outside of the obvious "they transform", that's about as high tech as things get. To make it worse, the films really seem like a showcase for military hardware and GM cars. The overemphasis on everything that isn't Transformers is why I can't take the movies seriously at all. Explosions, giant robots, whatever, it's great popcorn theater. It's just not Transformers.

In the second movie, he barely had any screen-time except for some battle scenes, so nothing really changes. In the third movie, (from what I get) Optimus has grew tired and mad at the humans for keeping some great secrets about Cybertronian ship on the moon. He’s so sick of the humans that he decides to just hide and watch as thousands of people being blasted/stomped/vaporized during the Decepticon’s invasion. Then, when he finally got bored of just watching, he decided to join the battle and playing Dirty Harry on some Decepticons. *Enter Megatron with his bitching*, Optimus just blasted him a new one. Not even his traitorous mentor who’s begging for mercy is free from his wrath, and once again, Dirty Harry Optimus just ripped him a new one. The only thing he missed was pointing a middle finger. *phew*, those must’ve been a great stress-reliever for you, Optimus. I feel for you, man (or bot?). I really do. Quote:

But yeah the Transformers were literally made of glass. In Revenge of the Fallen I couldn't help but wonder where the hell Starscream was when the US military was sending in F-14 to bomb the place. I mean he's a freaking F-22, he could easily take all of them out. It should've been like Gundam where the tanks and fighters are nothing more than cannon fodder and distractions for the true killers which were the MS's. I literally cringed when Starscream was killed by Sam, I was like, really? Quote:

I'll second that! Loved Rodimus Prime in the movie, but you know they'll have to bring Ultra Magnus, and Kupp into it as well. Arcee was already depicted in Dark of the Moon. Or at least Hot Rod might make a show. With Marky Mark in the new one they'll have to give him a hot ride!

Considering I enter a Transformers movie expecting and hoping for giant robots beating the shit out of each other, explosions, more explosions, and wicked awesome sounds, I'm sure Michael Bay will not disappoint me. Ever.
I feel sorry for the folks who enter those theater doors thinking they're going to find plot or coherency. It's like, they're just looking for something to complain about. I paid a ticket for explosions, and I got them. Day made.

There is not enough giant robots beating the shit out of each other, and too much ego stroking for the US army.

And you seem to have skipped my point. I can watch explosions and fighting anywhere. I want giant robots to do the fighting in a giant robot show. You want "Everyone" getting in on it? That's your preference. On my end I want Transformers in my Transformers movie, as strange as it might sound. I watched, and enjoyed, the official G.I.Joe movie, despite the insanity of the ice that sank in water against laws of physics. I have no problem watching soldiers blowing things up. But I do have a problem when the human soldiers are getting in the way of Transformers.
