This! Matt Reeves understood the franchise when he took over. Its about Caesar and his struggle.
Unfortunately, at the risk of sound tired and trite, the major culprit for the focus on humans has always been good old Lorenzo. Man's gots to have his humans. He and Bay never had the capability to fully flesh the bots out as characters. To them they are always set pieces.

Wow I was way off

Not really. The Bumblebee poster reminded me of Sentinel Prime pose.

@Moy was my interpretation right?

Don't they show a couple of trailers before they show the posters?

Ah, gotcha.
True enough, but the difference with Bumblebee was each time he scanned a vehicle he changed his alt mode, like in previous movies. We've never seen any of them scan a new alt mode and keep their old one before so I just think it would've been good to have that special ability mentioned. To me there's so many cool things about the Transformers themselves int he way some have different gimmicks, so much of that could be used to drive the stories. Like why do some have the ability to combine, or others can take on beast modes, headmasters, pretenders, or some are triple changers, just delving into the origins of these things, the things that are specifically Transformerish. As it is, aside from the three or four cases where a character is in hiding, what most of the movies are about could just involve any two alien factions, with the Transformation abilities just as an aside.
If I was a casual movie goer not knowing about triple changers I'd be wondering why none of the others had been able to scan two alt modes before.

I disagree, we had already seen what scanning new alt modes looked like twice in the film previously and we saw the new kibble forming on them as they transformed into their robot modes. I don’t think they really need to stop the movie to explain the concept when visually it’s clear that they were adopting new alt modes. Nobody would watch the movie and go “when did they get those modes?”. Compare that to, say, Bumblebee’s inexplicable immortality in TLK.
Don’t know what movie you saw. The one I saw had three fantastically choreographed fights that were more exciting then anything the franchise has put out yet.
The advertising has been extremely clear that the focus is on Charlie and Bee’s relationship. Going in expecting something otherwise is in you.

Other than the doorwings I like it. I think it's awesome.

So does anybody have any favorite sources for getting foreign film posters, aside from keeping an eye on Ebay? I dig this one and I'd kind of like a copy to go with my 07 posters.

Well when I say "stunticons" I say it in Bayverse terms where they use the name of a G1 character and give him an alt mode that may or may not pay homage to the G1 alt mode. Remember Bonecrusher was not a construction in Bayverse. He was a mine sweeping truck. And in Bayverse, Frenzy was not one of Soundwaves minions, instead he was Barricades partner. Shatter and Dropkick could have been Wildrider and Dragstrip without a combiner team and it would have fallen in line with what had been already done in previous films.
