don't see how nor agree with the edit did that to the Transformers. Have you read the article to see how much effort was invovled or do you simply dismiss it because this film wasn't to your taste?

Having worked as an editor(Trained in Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premier and Avid Xpress) I know the process. The movie was a waste of film.

“I watched the first episode of the [1984] TV series just to get a flavor”, says Rubell. “I didn't want to be influenced beyond that. None of the editors are fan-boys, so we were often taken to the Bay woodshed for cutting out some important reference to the original series.

Why on earth would they edit out stuff the core fans would appreciate? It makes no sense I tell you!

Because Bay didnt want to make a toy movie and he had no clue bout TF to start with. That and he had to make a movie that evrey one would like not just the core fans. Even though i think he could've made a G1 movie and evrey one would've still liked it. Im suprised half the G1 reffrences made it in. Im sure there was alot that got cut that was based on G1. I liked the movie. It wasnt the best thing to come from TF but it sure as hell is better than what we've had for the past 5 years or so. For all of those that say "oh the movie sucked it ruined TF" go and watch the hole armada, and cybertron series back to back then watch the movie and tell me that its the worst thing in the TF universe.

This page in particular is especially true: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Fans

The most important thing for the brand to do is release homages of Generation 1 characters over and over and over and over and over.

Any homage of a Generation 1 character which is not given the name of the original character is a direct insult to all fans.

Any character which is given the name of a Generation 1 character which is not an homage to the original character is a direct insult to all fans.

Any character which is given the name of a Generation 1 character and is also an homage of the same character but who doesn't behave exactly like the Generation 1 character is a direct insult to all fans.

Because all fans have an inalienable right to own every toy, toys which would never be released under normal circumstances should never be given a chance at release through exclusive channels. It would be better for the toy to never be released at all than for some people to get to enjoy it.
