Why transformers is a successful franchise of blockbusters

Transformers is a classic like that of stanley kubricks 2001 which requires multiple viewings. There's the scene of sex war and incest especially when Shia lebeoufs parents ask him if he was masturbating. Hot motor girl and an Everyman dealing with the hero's journey back to the future dilemmas of reaganist suburban high school life.
Appearances on Conan
War propaganda commercializations opposite evangelism which coincidentally Michael bay also wants to remake.
The human story is thin. We even get parents dealing with a masturbation joke.
Jon voight
Jon tuturro also underused with an annoying character albeit not that terrible.

The plot and characters are low class, but they make sense unlike recent films coming out

It appealed to the Christopher Nolan audience that wanted a more "adult" yet commercial unchallenging way.

There is a lot of production value put in the transformers albeit post lotr you hoped they could do better. There's not a great us of soundstages. But there is no doubt the effort put in thetransformation sequences making you ponder what can be done with iron man, and power rangers, making seemingly impossible transitions occur on screen. It even gives it a bit of an invasion of the body snatchers feel with the alien communist fears in play for the wrong reasons.
It really could've been a commentary on the horrors of war especially with Leonard nimoys character and globalization and the future after Michael bay's work on the island, but alas no.

Remember people like mediocre scripts, heavily marketed films.
