Great comic strip lol!
Megatron is truly the master of evil plans in BAD TIMING heheh
Given some more time to think I've realized that with Bay's previous history of big action flicks that have been box-office smashers I shouldn't expect heavy plots with deep character developments with the Transformers. I know that some people may argue that just because a movie is made by Michael Bay it doesn't mean he can't include a good storyline/well developed characters - in the end I don't think he cares what script he is given, he just wants special effects and it's a style of film-making that seems to be working as he makes the big bucks. There's a reason why Michael Bay's name is often seen proudly with his movie titles, it's because when audiences see that they can expect his movies to deliver with so much action that they get their bang for the buck.
Everyone I know that is only a fan of TFs by Bay movies enjoy the movies because they deliver so much in terms of action and entertainment and whenever I tell them that Bay is no longer directing the Transformers movies they sigh and tell me that the franchise will be crap without him. Some people want robots filled with emotion, others want robots that create mass destruction. To each their own.
I still don't like the abrupt editing of DOTM, nor the fact that SAm went to robot heaven in ROTF but I am VERY grateful now for the fact that Bay's movies have been action masterpieces.
