This is what I'm worried about. If ROTF is more successful than the first movie, Hasbro will think that all people care about are robots beating the crap out of each other. And maybe that's profitable, but it's an insult to the franchise that has continued to resonate for 25 years because of its memorable characters. The franchise is called "Transformers," not "Mindless Robots Beating Each Other Up." If I recall, that's like every other generic robot story that hasn't proved nearly as successful. I'm going to be very sad if all future Transformers series are about soulless robots.
