i liken it to not making the movie batman a guy in gray jammies with his blue blanket tied around his neck, like the comics force feed. they just plop it into a more modern, more "believable" movie-friendly world.
with those grains of salt in, i think the design is good.
Not saying it's not realistic, and never said I didn't like that sort of thing. What I'm saying is that it doesn't look anything like Optimus Prime. Pretty much at all. Thus, why call it Transformers?
