Maybe this is the problem, I grew up with Beasties and Beast Machines so the big piles of random mechanical parts and car fenders that are the Michael Bay Transformers aren't as beloved or familiar to me.
Though I would have assumed it would be even worse to be an actual fan of the original show and the animated movie, as watching your childhood be defecated upon is never fun.
And as a side note, it is not a good thing to not be able to understand a movie unless you've watched the show/book/original movie that it was based on, it's ok to call back to the source material for little inside jokes with the fans but I shouldn't have to watch every episode of the 80s cartoon just to understand what's happening, as you seem to imply.
