Just read issue #1 of the Prequal comic book to the movie and it has my attetnion so far.
Spoiler
Based on the story in the comic, the movie is not going to follow the original G1 cartoon completely, Megatron is looking for something called the Allspark. And it sounds like this thing gets sent to Earth and the transforerms go after it. Also the more I looked at the designes of the tranformers, the more accepting I became of their new forms. I got to thinking that had the transformers looked exactly as they did in the cartoon it would have looked too cartoonish I think. The box-like designes of the original transformers worked alright in the 80's cartoon but with the direction technology is today I think that in order to make the robots look beleiveable they would need an updated look. Besides, if I want to see their original designes I'll watch the cartoon.
