Hehe, I got a chuckle out of that. I'd buy one if it transformed.
I liked Transformersbefore it was coolthefirstsecond time it was cool.
It's the old "mine's bigger than yours" argument. At the end of the day it shouldn't matter why someone likes Transformers (or Star Wars, or Star Trek, or Batman, or whatever), only that they do. Without new iterations, the franchises we love would have run their course decades ago and been forgotten.
