Well, this movie is coming out on the weekend I am scheduled to have moved 1000 miles from my home, so I think I will certainly need a bit of a pick-me-up. As for the transformations, I happen to think they should be a bit more vehicle-representative. And by that I mean that with the original toys and cartoon, when a transformer transformed, you got to see aspects of the vehicle it represented. Optimus Prime's chest windows, Megatron's bazooka, the winch on Prowl's chest, these are all links to the vehicles/object that represent the personality and character of the transformer. From the scenes I have watched of this movie, these touches seem to be greatly lacking. Of course, this may not be the case, as the commercials are very lean with the actual character scenes, but the mock-ups I've seen of Bumblebee and Prime were pretty definative.
