Speaking of it being 10 years; from a cultural standpoint its interesting funny to look at this franchise and see the changes in movies and automobile design that have happened since then. The TF1 Autobots where almost all huge, blocky gas guzzlers from the height of the Hummer. The '07 camaro was supposed to be a nostalgic return to the muscle car era. Now they'll all going for a sleek, European look.
