I must confessed that I laughed out loud when I first saw Bumblebee pissing on Simmons.

As for Megatron's face - it's a BIG improvement over what they had originally planned! When the image got leaked fans complained heavily and to Dreamworks' credit they listened and improved on it. The movie Legends Megatron toy still has the old face though *shudder*

I do have issues with the following designs as I thought them to be terrible:

Megatron
Starscream
Frenzy

[roller]

Starscream was like a flying monkey chicken

[GoktimusPrime]

Robot Chicken!

Not much of an improvement IMO, but still welcomed. UGLY to Ugly. For me it looks like a ... ... with teeth, well it's kinda censored never mind.

Thank goodness the animated didn't follow the movie IMO. Design concept wise it allows for more designs and toy molds. If the cartoon were to only follow on and pick up where the movie had left, it would mean less figures, or same character figures with a more toony mold, which I would really hate and think is just a waste to buy. With animated being divergent from movie and picking references up from G1 and other series here and there its a more interesting line. MOvie has a different target and it has achieved that, so has animated. Kudos to Hasbro for this.

The thing I didn't like about the movie designs were how they basically part formed.
The vehicles just appeared to shatter and then reform. Not literally, they were just so complex that this is what it looked like. And the problem I have with this is how fragile it would be.
The more parts the more things that can go wrong. You could easily throw a spanner in the works while they transformed. If you were in a war for so long you'd want something that was durable and had very few exposed points.
This is why I think the Traditional style is more plausible.
I mean, alien facial features are ok, makes it interesting, but the transforming wasn't.
