Bay's Transformer's audience, who seem to have lower standards then the usual dumb popcorn movie audience.

Wow, you're full of yourself.

People can enjoy whatever the hell they like. Just because some don't waste their lives whining about a movie based on action figures doesn't mean the people that do are better in any way.

People can enjoy whatever they want, and people can find fault in whatever they want as well, don't like to hear it, tough.

Ouch! nice comeback, but somewhat predictable, I expect better.

Although from someone who posts "Ugh. Who cares?" to unfunny racial stereotypes, perhaps not. Good day to you, sir.

You go on about these racial stereotypes but who cares? They're ROBOTS. They're no more offensive than most black gangsta characters in other cartoons.

It's not like they painted Shia black and had him dancing around eating bananas.

So because they're CGI robots they can't be offensive? Are offensive racial caricatures in cartoons any less offensive because they're cartoons? Even the writers of Transformers: ROTF are distancing themselves from the twins.

But still, they're a very annoying but minor part of the movie. Unless you're a super sensitive white friend of a black guy, I don't see how the Twins would be a deal breaker by themselves.

The twins have almost as much screen time and dialog as any other Named Transformer in the movie, I specifically pointed them out because a previous poster asked if the movie was worth seeing just for the robots. And yes, I personally find them annoying enough to not like the movie in general, and no, I'm not white, but in my opinion, the movie has far more problems then just them.

I'm super offended about the twins because I'm friends with Stryker, and I'm super sensitive.

I can't believe they tarnished your heritage, Stryker.

I always thought this image from Transformers 3 was more offensive:
