Thing was I liked the origninal. The first movie was good, but the others were just fetid. He did the epic robot battles better than the shows, but that was mainly because of his huge budget. The original, while campy, was good. Bay's movies, while epic, were not (you CANNOT say that Rise of the Fallen was a good movie), and they ruined the original. That's the problem I have with them. Not that they weren't good, but that they got rid of the part of transformers that I liked.
