I thought Starcream (shaped like a chicken mixed with a dorito chip) and Megatron were the same bot when they transformed into jets. I never had a problem with the Bay designs other than it being hard to tell who was who, especially on a first viewing.
I'll admit to being a G1 purist. I even collect the figures that look like they just popped out of the cartoon. The first few minutes of Bumblebee were like heaven to me. We are back to some Bayverse designs with ROTB though.

I wasn't arguing their distinguishing from their G1 counterparts, but more them being easily distinguishable on screen. I had no issues. When I saw the Bayformers first transform, I guessed all but Jazz. As I said before, which Dark Knight is constantly overlooking in his argument, I don't prefer the Bayformers to the G1 Transformers, I just prefer their translation to the big screen. Everyone had a personality which was magnified by their appearance. Michael Bay clearly wanted to have personalities to his Bots (some to offensive stereotypes but personalities none the less), but for most part, he did good in those designs..in retrospect looking back to the G1 designs, their blocky designs would hinder their movement and personalities. But that's enough of that. Each to their own

Disagreement aside, are you okay? You seem fairly angry man.

Was just skimming the thread and saw this part. I totally forgot that there was a Bayformers Hot Rod. That is a pretty large design difference.

I gotcha. Some of the designs were very good like Blackout and Shockwave come to mind. I would have liked the decepticons to have more character development, but I guess that's what the TV shows are for. I didn't like that they made my favorite decepticon Soundwave look like a silver cat and then died via plot armor. But I can't deny OP's kill streak was amazing. Don't f**k with the truck.

I still remember the days we all blamed him for getting OP killed and then replacing him as the leader. 1986 movie, I mean.
