I loved the original character of Optimus Prime, but you have to realize what the original would do in a live action movie. The cartoon shape would constrict the movement of the character on screen and for marketing purposes (for those people who spent millions on the movies) the original would have killed sales. The movie was directed toward older and younger generations. They preserved the wisdom and personality of Optimus but changed the appearance to also please younger generations. I respect your point of view, but you must also look at it from their point of view. Also remember they gave them the ability to update their appearance in the first movie, so what's to say they weren't implying he did also to not stand out like a sore thumb?

My friends payed for it to have me go so I could explain to them what was wrong with it. I don't know if they will do that for the third movie. But I don't plan to go. I will say it again. There is nothing wrong with you liking the new movies because it puts focus on the original mythology. It's my hope that if you truly are interested in transformers you will go back and read some of these old stories and watch some of the old cartoons and see how much Micheal Bay just bastardized the Transformers. Maybe in a few years someone will come around and remake the film the way it should have been made. I just hope I live long enough. Kim,

There is differences because times have changed you can't expect everything to be exact if they were to make the exact story line it would still be different due to animation changing. As a fan of transformers i have to say the live action Optimus Prime to me looks cooler. I clearly am a younger generation then you and the target audience is probably more to my age then yours. This is MY opinion. If a 3rd one comes out i suggest you don't watch it! I read your comparison of Optimus prime..and as nick menioned the word MODERN in his comment it stood out to me.

I find that hardly a reason to excuse Micheal Bay and his bastardization of the Transformers. Optimus Prime getting a trailer in the 3rd movie (something he should have had in the first movie) does not makeup for the last two movies. The facts are Micheal Bay had a wonderful mythology to pull from. instead he shit canned the whole history to make a movie that was more his ideas then the original writers who came up with Transformers. You know, in the last year I personally went around to walmart, Target and Hot-topic and I asked their employees if they sold more new transformers merchandise (toys, cloths, etc) or G1 merchandise. Every single person I spoke with said hands down they sell more G1 Transformers related merchandise then they do the new Transformers. It makes you think. Nick,

Yeah, he looks nothing like the old one, but, tell me, where the hell are you going to find a complete cab-over Peterbilt? Plus, have you considered that maybe, just maybe Optimus will get the trailer in the third movie? I mean come on, i know it, you know it, the world knows it, they are coming out with a third movie.
