meh, where to begin... I was always more a fan of the original comic series, though I watched the cartoon as well. The comic was more adult in nature compared to the cartoon. No crying about continuity here, as any TF fan knows that the storyline has been changed and re-told so many times over the years, that there is no real continuity with the TF.
Anyway, the mushy nerdy-boy-wins-affection-of-hot-girl thing was shitty, but yet expected since they had to make this go over well for the mainstream. Moar Starscream would have been cool, and even though the original Starscream/Cobra Commander voice actor is dead, they could have at least still gave him a screechy schemey voice of some sort.
The tributes to the original series were cool, such as the Bumblebee VW at the car lot, "one shall stand and one shall fall", "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", shit I'm probably forgetting several others.
Devastator being a tank = FAIL! Also, they could have put in more well-known Decepticons.
I'd say we'll definitely see a sequel, the Decepticons ended up in the ocean in the old series as well, and came back. Sadly, the plot of the sequel will probably be predictable, with some bad-guy human reviving them, attempting to control them, but ultimately finds out that Megatron takes orders from no one, etc.
