I don't blame him alone. The majority of TF writers make them too human, even Simon Furman who is my favourite all time TF writer. I'd say that Budiansky, Orci and Kurtzman are in the minority of TF writers who IMO can write Transformers quite well as other-worldly beings. So I'm not really out to single out McCarthy for this... it's just one of my TF writing pet peeves and it just irks me... every time I come across a Transformer saying or doing something that's unnecessarily too human... it's like hearing fingernails being scraped down a blackboard.
