Fanboys have too much emphasis on pleasing their own fandom and not thinking of what will ultimate interest the mainstream. If it wasn't for Bay's movies do I dare say our TF toyline would continue to look like Armada series and not have MP's and classics =p

I just think the HISHE videos are funny (they poke fun at all kinds of movies), is all. I don't mind the movies as a whole...are they all great movies? No. But there's good in bad in all 3 of them so far, I just grade them as standalone movies - I try not to compare them to G1 too much...on the same lines, my buddy is all up in a tizzy about the new Star Trek movie because it messes with what he understands and likes about the original series and subsequent shows - but as a standalone movie, I personally think JJ Abrams did a great job with it.
You're right though, the movies has been keeping the TF market and merchandising alive, so I can't complain about the overall effect they have had
