it says it's going to appeal more to kids and looks to change up the characters.
to me, that sounds like they are going to make it shitty.

Yeah, if they alter the design to be a little less bayformer, that would be awesome. And new characters wouldn't hurt. I would still like to see Prime in the film, but if I see one more yellow camaro bumblebee toy I think I'm going to hurl. That character/design needs to go away for a long long time.
The bot modes for all of them look like a jumble of paperclips and metal shards attached to a magnetic ball. Not a single one of them has any real distinguishing qualities. Just random shapes, scrawney limbs, and bug faces. Some of the worst designed characters and toys in recent memory.

I know I may be in the minority, but I actually think the designs in the Bay movies work pretty well. Better than a straightforward adaptation from the cartoon designs would have, anyway.
Agreed. I see that more as a cinematography thing, though - if they weren't all jumping and dodging like ninjas it might've been easier.
Although I guess that's why all of the movies kept going into
slow
motion
all
the
time.
While I don't like the designs, I do recognize that a straight G1 cartoon representation would be too simplistic. I might have been able to overlook the overly complicated parts of the designs.... but stuff like starscream's chicken legs and the bots that are so messy/disporportionate that you don't even know where the head is... they suck. If there is one word in the TF lexicon that is universally despised, it's "kibble". And the movie fig designs are kibbletastic.
But above all else, the bug faces are an abomination. They are unacceptable no matter what you do with the rest of the bot.
This guy knows what's up...
While a straightforward adaptation would be a bit much, I think what was done was too far the other way...something in the middle would likely be best...
Changing the characters faces into what they did...why?...WHY?!...disasters!...those could've at least been left basically intact...
Anyway, yeah, new characters are definitely welcome...
