Full-sized Transformer descends on China

CNET Asia blogger Rick Martin has posted pictures from various Chinese sites about two guys from Nanjing who built a life-sized Transformer robot.

The bot, which is almost 15 feet tall, took the builders three months to make with parts from a Citroen C2 car. This model doesn't really transform or move, but it's impressive nonetheless.

In an interview with a Chinese newspaper, the creators said they are planning to build an even larger Optimus Prime in the future. That'll be quite a sight--and one we can hardly wait for.
