Transformers

I've been avoiding all the new incarnations of Transformers.  So far, they seem more like half hour toy commercials than the original series.  I'd consider watching them but I'm not sure if it would be worth it.  Maybe if I was 5.

The original was about war, and death, and tactics used to destroy a terrorist regime of supremacist megalomaniacs.  There was drama,  and cool fight scenes, and character development.  I don't know, I still have to watch the DVDs.
