Yeah, really disappointed that Bay feels the need to attack childhood favorites. Don't get me started on TMNT, but at least he stayed with CGI. He knew he couldn't do practical effects even half as good as the first turtle films.
 * SPOILERS SECTION IN POST!!!*

Hound can only return if the voice returns. John Goodman was flat out perfect for the character. Anyone else trying to voice him from here on out would fall tragically short. Drift can die a quiet, off-screen death or just fade into wherever they put Arcee and the other Autobots... they really screwed him up in this film.

Hard to say what decepticons they will use. They keep killing off all the main names film after film. Got to start getting inventive on who is next baddie, besides Galvatron, without falling into a "he got resurrected" loop.

 * SPOILER SECTION AHEAD, READ AT OWN RISK!!!*

''Some decepticons were poorly resurrected in AoE. If you watch the sections where Galvatron activates the rest of the human made transformers, you see Shockwave. He is a weird, two-headed generic abomination, but that is Shockwave 2.0, according to interviews and comments from crew. I hope they don't give all the big names that kind of treatment. That is such a cheap trick.''

''They also explained Galvatron's self awareness, poorly but it happened. After the Autobots attacked the factory, and Brain (the tiny bot) is rescued, he explains how humans were using the heads of Sentinel and Megatron to unlock Transformer tech. Megatron infected Galvatron, like a virus, to get a new body. That is why the humans kept failing when they tried to copy Optimus, hence the truck vehicle form, Megatron kept rewriting the body form in his image.''
