There's a difference between changing certain parts of an IP to make it more appealing to a wider audience, and downright gutting it, chewing it up, spitting it out and building it back up again. If you look at the previous Transformers across all of the series, this is about as far away as you can get from the look of Transformers as possible. When they did Lord of the Rings, they didn't have elves with horns coming out of their head, and Gandalf a fifteen year old blonde girl. This "new look" is like a cross betwene Guyver and a broken Rubix Cube. It's going to be hated by fans of the original, as is being shown here, and I doubt the large majority of non-transformer fans are going to care either way. This is a really bad move on the designer's part for this movie, that can't be denied. If you're not willing to pander to the fan base in the least, who exactly have you got left?
