My grandnephew loves Transformers.  He asked me to draw this first picture for me.  The previous time we were in Wyoming he had me draw Optimus Prime in truck form.  So, these are certainly NOT exact drawings.   Still, they are not bad.

The Transformers movies have made 1.46 billion dollars in the box office in the U.S. alone.  If you adjust the money made into 2018 dollars the movies made 1.77 billion dollars.  That info is from Box Office Mojo.

Box Office Mojo also lists the unadjusted gross from all the movies worldwide.  It is a staggering
4.385 billion dollars.  It is one of the most successful franchises of all time.  That amount of money does not even include the millions made in marketing of all those Transformers toy action figures and video games etc.

Some people scoff at these movies...but you have to respect a movie franchise that has been so successful.  Transformers Movie Franchise is the 17th most successful movie franchise in the history of movies.  Those movies employ lots of people and help the economy.   I think we go to them for the spectacular special effects and animation that looks so cool on a big screen.

My criticism of the last Transformers movie is that they seem to have forgot that many kids go to these movies.  There was a lot of unnecessary profanity that did nothing for the plot.
