The films are actually about intergalactic Transformers that have been warring against each other for millions of years? Who'd have thought it. It€™s no secret that film critics and hardcore fans of the live action Transformer films have less than a few kind words to say about Michael Bay€™s cash cow franchise, but what needs to change to make the films gain some respect from audiences that aren't just concerned with mindless action? Transformers: Age Of Extinction may have seen some very tender steps in the right direction, but there€™s still a long way to go before Transformers fans can be proud of their childhood robot friends. Besides the obvious changes that need to be made e.g. Michael Bay needs to be replaced as director of the next film, there's multiple different facets to the Transformers universe that could do with a makeover.

There are so many changes that could be made to make the franchise more respectable, but here are the 10 biggest changes that need to be made in order to make cinema's special effects behemoth just that little bit more bearable.
