I'm sure you're refering to the
role in the movie.
I'm sure you had a hard time sitting through all the changes in Spider-Man, Batman Begins, X-men, etc as well.
I'm a huge TF mark, and I'm incredibly used to reboots as Hasbro in recent years has continued to reinvent (for better or worse) the Universe and Mythos. The movie won't be G1 at all, so please don't expect it. The flick is inspired by events and characters from G1, but it will be different. So see it with an open mind and don't say that Michael Bay and Uncle Steve raped your Childhood.
