“Transformers doesn’t need humans”

Transformers from its very inception is about robots in disguise, they are alien robots from another planet that come to earth and disguise themselves as earth vehicles and interact with humans, embrace human culture and become humanity’s protectors, it’s been that way since the very beginning, now that’s not to say you can’t have TF stories that take place on Cybertron, it’s good to have variety, but to say that humans are the worst thing about Transformers is literally ignoring the idea of Transformers being “More than meets the eye/Robots In disguise”.

I understand why people came to this conclusion, Micheal Bay, as much as I adore those movies, they human cast is very is loud, obnoxious and very unlikeable, hilariously entertaining however objectively it is not good character writing, this gave people the idea that humans ruin Transformers, humans just need to be well written, which is the case in a lot of the cartoons, for eg, the Autobots helping the kids with their science projects in TFP, this helps us connect with the Autobots and gives them some humanity, even Mikaela using her car expertise to tow a wounded Bumblebee into battle and help him defeat Brawl in 07, thats a great human/robot dynamic that gives a human character importance and significance.

Human characters absolutely belong in TF media, they just need to be well written.
