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

Yea, to stay relevant these franchises need to reboot every so often to appeal to a new generation. I think a good example is the Batman franchise. When 89' Batman came out, Tim Burton showed a darkside of Batman not everyone may have known. If that exact same movie was made today people would deadpan it. IMO the Dark Knight Trilogy nailed the comic style but who knows in another 20 years someone may come along and top it.
BTW are we just using this for TF discussion, if so I apologize if I'm getting off topic. Unfortunately I collect and watch way too many things than just Tf's.
