There has been a couple of posts already that share what I'm thinking.
Michael Bay's Transformers will never capture my attention or live up to my expectations compared to what I grew up with because they fail to make the Transformers the point of the movie.
In the cartoons, it's all about the transformers. In every episode, the autobots defend the Earth and the humans from a decepticon plot and save the day. The humans are don't factor much into the story except getting rescued.
The movies, it's all about Shia's character. I don't care about him getting a real job. I don't care about the military guys. If I am going watch a movie on the Transformers, I expect them to be the stars and it's them that saves the day.

I would suggest seeing the thrid one. There is much more emphasis on the Transformers and it goes into their history a bit more. The humans do factor in somewhat and take down a couple Decepticons in the process, but it is definitely more centered on the robots.
