    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.

    You kinda get used to a lot of those humanizations, but every now and then they drop one that feels really out of place. To date the one that bugs me most was from the first Dreamwave series when Prime utters "May the heavens help us" seemed rather out of place for Prime, but I guess it makes a certain kind of sense as Family Guy has taught us that he is Jewish.
