I have to go with the G1 side on this. (Reporting for duty, Commander!)
For me, the primary appeal of the original TFs was that you had a chance (however slight) of seeing the vehicle mode on the street or in the air (hence why I am collecting Alternators). Yes, the colors of some were less than authentic (like the seekers), but that worked well as a distinction between those who would otherwise be clones. Even the later seekers (Ramjet, Thrust, and Dirge), while not actual real-life jets, were based on design proposals for new jet fighters.
And even when G1 did start going futuristic (Shockwave and the post-movie cast), the alt modes were generally easily recognizable as an analog to a current vehicle. And those that weren't, like the Sweeps, still had clean lines and a believable appearance.
Most of the new stuff, starting from Armada, just looks like someone gave a 5-year-old boy a bunch of snap-together parts and asked him to make some "cool" new vehicles out of them ....
