A moment of perspective.

[spatch]

From a CNN article on Orson Welles and his last role as the Transformer "Unicron":

Back in 1986, though, [the concept of celebrity cartoon voices] wasn't the payday it is now. "Transformers: The Movie" yielded less than $6 million at the box office. The new live-action "Transformers," which opens in theaters July 3, hopes to reap that in a matter of hours.

Wrap a few grey matter cells around that one, and then go get a beverage.

At least they looked like giant toy robots oughtta, in the first movie. I doubt I'll see the new one outside of the trailer, where the title characters appear to be large anthropomorphic balls of crumpled tinfoil flyin' around. The price you pay for realism!
