The reason TF gets such hate is the pure laziness of the franchise. I can picture the first meetings for the new transformers going like this
Studio suit 1: So those china men love robots
SS 2: Yep so lets put the robots in China
SS 3: *snorts line of coke of hooker* And get some china peeps in it.....I'll check BING search engine
SS1: Yeah type in 'china people' or 'karate people'
SS 3: Fuck Yeah got a few
SS 1: I was watching discovery last night and saw dinosaurs can we get dinosaurs in this bitch.....bitches love dinosaurs
SS 2. YEAH and Spielberg must know some from when he worked on that movie schindlers list
SS 3. SO we got china karate people with dinosaurs....sounds cocksuckingly great
SS 1. We need a hot babe though. Anyone watch that Avatar movie?
SS 2: Yeah you want some blue bitches in this flick
SS 1. Nope I mean that Last Air Jordans movie.....got a young girl from that flick and she legal age....
SS 3. YEAH
SS 1. DINO-KARATE-CHINA-HOT AIRBENDER GIRL- ROBOT ACTION...We gonna make the best movie since Freddy Got Fingered
