Awesome collection you've got there.  I'm rather jealous of all the G1 stuff (given my age, that's hardly surprising).

 

The "Bayformers" ones though, I'd toss in the trash. :p But then, I'm an old fart. ;)

 

I have some from before the film was released - I wish I had known beforehand. That man is systematically destroying my childhood.

Heh. When I saw Age of Extinction (I know, why punish myself more), I was thoroughly confused by everything.

 

I mean, seriously.. Nothing made ANY sense! At all!  Hell, we all know the animated movie was rather confusing in many places, but just because we saw the Quintisson's again, that's no reason ramp up the confusion by x100000!!

The movies are certainly one of the lesser quality franchises, but i wouldn't go as far as "destroying my childhood". It isn't like these guys are supposed to be the same ones as in G1, after all. I love exploring new versions of the characters and concepts - the idea of a TF multiverse.

 

Personally, IDW, which is actually supposed to be "G1", has a higher claim to childhood destruction than the movies. Heck, half the G1 remake toys we're getting these days are actually IDW instead! Hasbro should stick to new universe reinventions, and leave G1 in the 80s where it belongs. I love G1, I grew up on G1, and I consider Dreamwave and IDW insults to the real G1.

 

No G1 remake or continuation has ever been decent, and they should just focus on moving TFs forward rather than trying to recapture the past.

It was better than ROTF, at least. I thought there were some good ideas in the movie. They just needed someone more capable than Bay to realize the,.

At least ROTF seemed to follow on from the earlier Bayformers movies... AoE was just... random.

 

AOE actually did, though we're seeing things after a lot of changes in the situation. But those changes were the result of the events of DOTM.

 

My problem with ROTF is that the main focus was Sam's love life, rather than the robots. And the twins. and Devastator's balls. And Wheelie humping Mikayla's leg.

 

While AOE still had the `bots in the background a little too much, it was an improvement. But Bay still hasn't figured out that the Autobots are the main characters, not the humans.

Rather than comment further about why, I will let Scott Ramsoomair continue to explain my issues with Michael Bay's Bayformers:

and then he did Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Same methodology, similar result. If he gets the rights to ThunderCats, I might go live in a cave somewhere (and take some G1 figures with me).

The Rifftrax of TMNT suprisingly made it watchable. It actually had a few good moments, but nothing redeems their casting for April O`Neil. She's been a lab assistant, she's been a reporter. She's never been and should never be a skank.
