I think part of what people like about Silas, is that he is like what Megatron (and even Starscream) should be.
Silas ordered a conscious Breakdown dismantled alive, and then stuck around to watch. Certainly the same sort of cold, calculating behavior we should expect from the leader of the Decepticons.
One concept I really don't like from the live action movies, and is carried into this series, is that the Autobots and Decepticons can change their alternate mode whenever they want. Worse yet, this alt-mode switching doesn't take much longer than the normal transformation process.
In the original series it took an outside system to change the Cybertronian's alt-mode, in this case Teletraan-1 using the Ark's systems. Beast Wars kept this principal intact when using the stasis pods to scan the surrounding area and determine the alt-mode for the protoform inside.
It just doesn't seem right, according to these rules Bumblebee could scan an M1A1 Abrams when the Autobots needed an extra tank during a battle and then switch to a deuce and a half to transport a bunch of people.
