This is clearly about a lot more than Transformers here, and I have to say it might be in the best interest of the kid for you to be the bad guy. His behaviour needs to be corrected and his Grandmother has to realise she's not protecting him by defending him but rather causing significant damage. The longer this goes on the harder it's going to be to change his behaviours.
