I wouldn't take my 10 year old to see it (for the record, my kids are younger anyway) and therefore wouldn't expect him / her to want any of the toys. IMO, it's the parents pushing the toys on their kids, but after 4 movies over 7 years, it's the parents who have gotten over it. If the movies were aimed at a younger age bracket, then it would allow the franchise to grow with them bringing in new young fans every time a movie is released. Personally, I wouldn't mind a PG Transformers movie because in reality, TF:TM is still the best, even without the added swearing, ass shots, dirty jokes etc.
As opposed to say the Alien, Predator and Terminator franchises? Rambo? Various horror movies? Movies have always had toy lines somewhat inappropriately, and I'd say those movies are far worse than any of the TF ones.
