Also didn't help they couldn't get William Daniels and went for the more robotic sounding Val Kilmer.
Back on topic however, I don't see why they couldn't do a Transformers TV show. To be honest as much as I'm not a fan of the Bee - the whole "boy and his car" fighting alien foes/decepticons/plain old human bad guys trying to obtain alien tech/etc scenario with Bumblebee would work.
The car spends most of its time in vehicular form only transforming periodically to assist the boy when he gets in trouble or for the odd humorous interlude. Surely in this day and age they could get away with that like Agents of Shield and Supergirl do. Special effects aren't as obtusilvely expensive as they were back in the 80's and 90's.
