   "The Transformers films — or at least the three sequels to Michael Bay‘s   
   first film in the series — disregard story concepts left and right.   
   Characters are secondary to spectacle; geography and time are   
   subservient to the impact of a beauty shot; standard narrative building   
   blocks regularly fall by the wayside. So how does one write one of these   
   films? We talked to Ehren Kruger, who has written all three Transformers   
   sequels, about the process of putting a film like this on the page.   
      
   If you need a capsule version of our short conversation, it is this   
   quote: “When you’re talking about aliens, robotic machines which   
   disguise themselves as vehicles and animals, you start to make your   
   peace with the idea that logical sense doesn’t have to be the be-all,   
   end-all.” Which means that the creators of the Transformers films are   
   throwing logic and narrative structure out the window consciously, if   
   not deliberately. For a bit more exploration of that concept, read our   
   short interview below."
