Too many explosions, and it might distract the audience from the actual plot.

The irony is that Starscream's head exploded in a previous movie, but Michael Bay must have disliked his own descision there.

What secret? That Michael Bay hates women? That yellow characters appeal to children more than non-yellow characters? That Optimus never stays dead?

I don't think Sentinel could have known. It certainly explains why the Fallen was so dedicated to destroying the Sol system though if he did know.

Who says he was planning to destroy the Sol system (Earth), perhaps the plan was to resurrect Unicron? ;)

Pretty much all we have is the name, so I can't really make an opinion on it until we know more. I'm cautiously optimistic.

At least we can be certain it is going to be better than Transformers: Kiss Players.

Hopefully, it isn't as bad as Combiner Wars. Apparently, there's going to be at least two chapters. Chapter One in 2018 and Chapter Two in 2019, if I'm correct.

I was wondering: what would your ideal Transformers series be about?

That seems to imply that there is a plot. /s

Probably something from the Beast Era, or TransTech. (Referring to Axiom Nexus, not the unreleased Beast Machines sequel.)
