So, I'm trying to say that updates are needed, but there are one or two more ingredients that will really decide if the movie sinks or floats. Plot, for one. So, really, Megatron can be a purple tank, Bumblebee can be a can opener, as long as the story's engaging, I'm set.
That, and someone should say the word 'shit'.
Great. That has nothing to do with anything we've stated, though.
This is Transformers. This ain't Casablanca. There will not be a sled named Rosebud anywhere in this picture. Fuck Micael Bay directly in his plot. Fuck him hard. Me, I don't even care if there IS a curse word in this movie. I want my sixteen wheeler, my gun, two tape decks, robotic dinosaurs, jets, and a mutha fuckin' Volkswagen Beetle.
Anything else is like making Superman blond or Wolverine a girl. It isn't an update, updates move things forward to the present. Please tell me how making Bumblebee a Camaro shows any bit of progression.

Question for all of you concerned about the changed: what if they made a GIJoe movie? Let's face it, you go to the airport wearing a Cobra mask, you're going to get your ass busted by someone (although, that would make an awesome 'Robot Chicken' bit). I know squat about GIJoe, but wouldn't they have to make some serious updates. First of all, we're won the Cold War. Second...it's a movie about terrorists. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that would need to be handled...delicately.
The characters of G.I. Joe have been around since World War II. They're not really confined to any one war or period. And the fact that the movie is about terrorists is only more the reason it should be done now. I think it can be done without the airport scene.

I never got the Goldbug thing either. Wasn't it like for one episode?
It was a result of the Transformers vs. GI Joe comic book mini wherein he was destroyed and had to be re-built. I don't think the history was ever explained in the teleseries.
He appeared in the show. Bumblebee became Goldbug during the Optimus Prime resurrection plot.
