It's not the same Optimus and Megatron. They don't have to look the same because they're different characters with the same name. They looked fine for what they were.
A true evil? Do you know what the origin of Unicron was in the cartoon? He was made by a monkey as a science fair project and got his ass beat by a shiny bauble. The closest thing to true evil that actually managed anything is Beastwars-era Megatron who actually wiped out the Maximals/Autobots and took over Cybertron. Did you not notice Unicron never actually killed any named Transformer? Yeah, he was an all-star.
Better characters? I might give you that, but what was better about the characters? Explain? I'd take 07 movie Ironhide over Kup. 07 Optimus over Magnus. 07 Frenzy over Cyclonus.
Better plot? Well yeah, they took it straight from the Star Wars script.
Better music I will concede outright. Vince Diacola did some amazing stuff.

Glad we can agree on one thing
I guess what it really comes down to is the 1986 movie was during my childhood, when I had the toys, when I watched the show... etc. I just didn't like how megatron was a jaggedy thing that turned into a jet-like thing and wasn't even introduced until into the second half.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the 07 movie and will be super stoked for the next one.
Character wise, for me it's the Quintessons, Junkions, Blurr, etc. IMO much better than the 'secondary' characters in 07.
Btw, Unicron didn't kill any 'main' characters, but he did his fair share of 'evil killing' lol.
