My guess is that the more adult fans would cry murder because...well, that's what fanboys do, to be perfectly honest. But I would guess that the younger fans, and those who are more generous, would like it.

how many weak personalities and bruised egos does it take to keep pretentious souls warm at night?

This is NOT a G1 comic. G1 ended in 1990 something. Let it go. If this was a G1 book, Spike Witwicky wouldn't be hunting/killing Autobots, it goes against every fiber of his G1 character. You *might* be able to make a case for this as a classic-oriented TF comic (also not to be confused with Classics toyline).
What should be said is that this is a NEW incarnation, and the people responsible are free to express their NEW vision in whatever style they feel appropriate. It seems that they have chosen to do this by combining stylistic attributes of several previous TF incarnations. Consider it an homage if that helps you. If you don't like it, wait for the next incarnation.
As we say in Mississippi, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes, it'll change.

Burn:Anyone notice how much of a boring party pooper N_V is? He doesn't join in the fun, he's spent the last few years with dodgy builds feeding XP to the Autobots, and he sure as heck doesn't spam.

The summation, the G1 styling had the effect of encouraging a reader to see them in a human sense.

Actually, the concept you mention is VERY G1! I mean, look at Circuit Breaker. She too was a character unable to differentiate Autobot from Decepticon, and attacked both sides indiscriminantly. As did the Nebulans. As did Unicron. There's nothing new there at all.
And if you're trying to move away from G1, by having Spike as an Autobot hunter... well, what's the point in calling him 'Spike Witwicky' at all? Why not call him Bob Smith? Or Joe C. Beller, for that matter?
You are joking, right? Until the Movieverse came about, G1 had the least-humanoid characters of any Transformers series. Just look at the minibot Brawn - totally alien proportions. You had the faceless Whirl and Shockwave, the Wheelie and Wheeljack toys with their overlong monkey-arms, Jazz had no feet, Ironhide's head was in his chest... I could go on. If anything, G1 fans should be more used to alien-style robots than fans of the later lines.
