As I understand it the Transformer movies made most of their money in China, they love that stuff.

Why China Loves Transformers (And Why We Should All Be A Little Worried)

China's changed faster than an Autobot since the 80s, and while there's not much looking back on those rough years, Transformers is a perfect nostalgia trip...........

But the Transformers craze in China is more than meets the eye. Underneath the hood -- no, right on top of it -- the movie is the biggest car ad the world has ever seen. And China is well on the road to becoming the world's biggest car market, thanks in no small part to Transformers-partner GM. The message of the movie, especially at its final scene (which totally resembles a 30-second spot, btw) is one that speaks loud and clear to its car-hungry audience in China: cars are not just symbols of personal freedom, they exist to protect us, and can even save the world.
