Aside from personal loss, my big fear is the end of the Transformers franchise. *knock.on.wood*

I would recommend the first one. The first one was nice and captured the spirit of the G1 cartoon well. Yes, the Transformers were fairly shallow caricatures rather than developing characters, but that's how they were in the G1 cartoon as well. I've always preferred the G1 comics over the cartoon, and a TF movie that's written closer to the spirit of the comics would excite me more... but I don't think the cartoon is bad either and is certainly endearing in its own way. So to that end, I find the first movie endearing too. I wouldn't recommend Revenge of the Fallen though... when I saw "The Fallen" in the title, it massively shot my hopes up since they've taken a comic book character and placed it in the movie, I assumed that after the cartoon-level writing of the first movie, they were going to ramp things up with the sequel and make it more like the comics. Boy was I wrong!

Dark of the Moon I would mildly recommend. It certainly is a much better effort than ROTF (though that's not hard)... if someone's already seen TF1 and ROTF, I'd say DOTM is watchable. It's not so bad that I would say "avoid it." Heck, if someone had never seen the movies, I'd say just watch TF1 and DOTM... skip ROTF. Heh... it's kinda like Highlander in that regard.

Heheh, that is ironic. Even as someone who loves Beast TFs, I still consider Leo Breaker to be an awful toy.

Damn straight. It's like excitingly looking forward to the next big Lotto Draw or Melbourne Cup punt... I just can't wait for this to happen so I can be disappointed! BRING IT!

It's not going to happen since G1 Megatron's not even illegal in all parts of the world. They're perfectly legal in WA and SA.
