Michael Bay's Transformers movies became a huge cinematic spectacle and one of the biggest blockbuster universes ever seen on the big screen. However, the franchise's latest film feels like the first time we've seen the real Transformers since the inception of the Bayverse, and while it was a breath of fresh air, the movie still faced one major issue. Despite their polarizing nature, there's no doubt Michael Bay's films gave us some of the best Transformers battles and delivered high-octane action that hooked audiences. The series simply felt unmissable during its peak, hence why it found so much cinematic success.
