Someone Built A Real-Life Transformer

Подробнее о видео

This enormous robot is a real-life Transformer. Right now, it's being controlled by a person INSIDE it… like in Avatar. And it can also transform from “robot mode” to “vehicle mode”... like Bumblebee. Or Optimus Prime. Or Megatron, take your pick.

Buuuuuuut…. its top speed is only 6 mph. You might be wondering… WHY make this? Well, the company that makes these robots, Tsubame Industries, says their long-term goal is to build a version that’s helpful on the moon or in disaster zones. Right now though, it’s entertainment - proving yet again how excited we get about human-looking robots.
