Girls like Transformers

What the fuck, /co/, I read someone claiming this, but never actually thought it's that popular with girls.
Today, a girl I talk to from time to time, in a conversation mentioned that she likes Transformers. She watched all the movies and lots of cartoons and said she knows another girl from her uni, who likes them too. Starscream is her favorite, because he is cool and handsome and said I should watch g1, cause it's really good. And she doesn't even strike me as a kind of girl who is into animation all that much, she just really likes transformers.
What is it about Transformers that attracts girls, I genuinely don't understand.
