Oh, I got what you mean! Actually, I think the primary audience was going to be regular people, non-fans. I think Bay wanted to attract everyone. If the movies were completely or mainly based on G1 cartoons, maybe it wouldn't attract other people. But this is my suggestion on what was on Bay's mind.

But certainly the movies aren't for children. Maybe it was done to attract more grow-up people as well? Who knows...
