Not that there's anything really canon in existance anymore. So many different continuities. And how many takes have there been on G1?

Just like Armada is different from G1. Just like RiD is different from Armada. Just like the Armada Cartoon is different than the Comic Armada. The Marvel G1 Comic was different than the G1 Cartoon. The G1 Dreamwave is different than IDW. It goes on and on.
Every single time a new series starts up it is different than the one before it. It has... "Transformed".
Embrace the Transformation. It is inherent in the Franchise.

Nonsense. The loudest complainers, myself included, wanted nothing more than to love this movie to bits... to get the same excitement as when first seeing the 1987 movie.
We waited decades, wanted our favorite heroes and villains to get a giant financial shot in the arm, and use that money to come alive on the big screen in live-action goodness.
Batman got it (at first).
Spiderman got it.
You have to be joking if you think that's what's looming here right before our eyes.
All those yearly, annoying Japanese retellings are low-budget, throw-away silliness.
But it's sad when millions of dollars result in a similarly uncreative product. You get one chance with money like that, and it appears to have been blown.

They were pure comic book movies that fit in well with their source material.
In what way am I being short-sighted?

G2, Cybertron, Armada, Rid, Galaxy Force, Beast Wars, Beast Machines don't count as Transformers because changes to the franchise since G1 don't count, therefore this movie is not part of the franchise because the look has changed since G1.
These guys believe post G1 incarnations of Prime are not valid, therefore this Prime is not valid either.
Spiderman has one look in the Spidey franchise, Prime is always evolving in the TF franchise. Same as it ever was.
If you look at the "franchise" as a whole - Leo is correct.

Exactly. It's impossible to compare Transformers to Spider-Man or Batman.
Yes, there's been different takes on Spidey and Bats, but however the core titles and core story have remained the same.
Transformers hasn't.
