More Then Meets The Eye and then some

Michael Bay has posted images of what the Autobots and Decipticons will look like this summer in his annual overhyped blockbuster, Transformers. Naturally I have issues with these, he seems to be suffering from George Lucas syndrome.

Mr. Bay, a friendly word of advice that Mr. Lucas didn't heed. Just because you can update something and make it all kinds of flashy and futuristic doesn't mean you should. These things shouldn't look like different models of the T-100 and a car combined. For example the following is Frenzy the difference between Frenzy in the movie and classic Frenzy.

Now do either of these two items look similar to you what so ever? Besides how are you going to have Frenzy when you're not even bothering with Soundwave?! So you don't see it feasible having a boom box as one of the items, but a pistol you have no problem with? Update it, make it a stage of some kind with speakers, there's your Soudwave. I mean you have a good group of Decepticons, and the only big names one you take are Megatron, Starscream and to a lesser extent Frenzy, but who should really be Rumble. No Constructacons, no Skywarp, no laserbeak or ravage, and no Shockwave. Hell, most of their Transformers come from later generations or from their own subconscious. I don't care if Soundwave "Has a big part in the sequel" we'll never see it if you bomb the first one assclowns.

The Autobots aren't much better, though at least they give you name characters. You have Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Rachet, and Ironhide, all names we all recognize from the original show. These appear somewhat more like their cartoon counterparts, for example Jazz still has his shades eyes.
Though I am sad that Volkswagon didn't want to be a part of this movie and as such Bumblebee will not be a bug. I still just don't understand the thought process of eliminating the outer casing for more of a Terminator feel. Am I crazy in this thought, am I the only one worried they're gonna completely ruin this movie but like a schmuck I'm gonna see it anyways? Please folks, tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way.
