There's precedent for it:



And it's clear the '87 cartoon is the only source material they care about. Though not in a loving, faithful way, either... These movies, like Transformers before them, are all about drawing in audiences based on a fond but vague familiarity. They're not trying to please fans on any level - they just want an audience with low demands/expectations who remember liking the franchise when they were kids. That's it. Pay a little lip-service to their nostalgia and then make the usual by-the-numbers Michael Bay CGI action/explosion-fest within that basic framework. Again and again.

It's a really cynical way to make a movie like this, but it's paid off for them.
