Optimus Prime, in particular, cracks me up.
"What's... the matter?"
"We... must ... STOP THEM!"
"All ... hands... brace ...for... *boom*"
At one point I just outright and literally LOL'd at the screen. I really need Optimus to speak with more regularity and less like an lazy asthmatic with any lack of urgency.
Also, I get that CGI is expensive and all, but I'm really tired of the characters transforming off screen, signaled only by the sound effect. Hell, the camera will be on them, then for a split second on the character they're talking to, then back to the first character, all to hide the transformation.

Bumblebee runs a great length with the all-spark but when it "dies," he apologies for being too late. Except y'know what would have helped? Transforming into car mode. Sweet jesus. |

Also, the show uses the Earth's varied terrain to prevent the Autobots from transforming into cars. For mountains and cliffsides, sure that makes sense. But they're still surrounded by large fields and hills fit for a wagon, along with other flat terrain. C'mon now, that really shouldn't prevent them from using their alt modes at all on Earth. I think all we got from the Autobots was Hound and Prime.
