The Transformers started out back in the 80′s. Since then with the help of technology and innovation in animation and CGI it has certainly improved viewer experience by leaps and bounds. Also since the 80s, there have been much changes and evolutions of the Transformers cartoon and characters. In the old days, the Transformer characters acted more robotic – very little emotions and personality. The recent blockbusters Transformers and Revenge of the Fallen both gave the audience a new way to relate to the characters. Before all the character voices were very flat and stern. There was not much difference in pitch and tone and so you couldn’t really tell the personality or mood of the character. That all changed in the recent movies. You could tell when the characters were excited, angry, intimated, or happy. There was one scene where we even see Bumblebee cry. It add much needed dynamics to the traditional Transformers cartoon.
