I personally dont think there's anyway possible to make Transformers critic friendly, so I wouldn't put too much stock into that RT rating. Like I said above, it got a huge ovation at the end of the screening last night, so the franchise really liked it.
I'm reading reviews today just ripping into the story and how ridiculous it is and that's why they didn't like the movie. Christ, it's a fantasy where alien robots that disguise themselves as machines to blend in on Earth. Of course that sounds ridiculous. The whole premise is ridiculous and stupid, but that doesn't mean the flick isn't a lot of fun. There were plenty of "ooohhhhhh shiiiiiiiiit" moments.
