Hell, for all your complaints about the Starscream thing, at least that had Sam contributing as a character and having a well-choreographed, well-shot action sequence. A human wasn't totally useless in the film, that's more than you can say for the last one. That's what you want to see, really, if you're going to have the humans at all I'd rather have them useful and involved rather than just there.
I'd rather they be like Spike and co. in the cartoon, there to give a human perspective and allow for exposition but, with the exception of giving an assist here or there, are useless in a fight and end up being saved more than anything else.
And Starscream may have been a cowardly melodramatic idiot in the cartoon, but he could at least fight.
