then i would certainly prefer less characters but more screen time for each of them instead
that leo guy is annoying and negligible, same goes with many other transformers, many of the hardcore TF fans would have recognized them, but really, what is the significance of having them in the movie? the movie will still end up the same if those characters got substituted by other transformers coz they are not important in this show at all imho just my two cents

Low quality audience deserve low quality movie/humor.

Its not we're too intelligent. If this is Stephen Chow movie, I might laugh. But this is serious movie. Serious movie humor must be
intelligent. We're not watching slapstick movie from Stephen Chow. Sometimes, Stephen Chow humor is more intelligent.
