Ever wonder what the computer-generated Transformer robots in director Michael Bay's movies would look like in real life? A Turkish company has the answer, with a fully functional Transformer prototype.
In a series of videos, the company Letvision unveiled a transforming robot built from a BMW 3 Series coupe. Letrons, as the prototype is called, is controlled via a remote and can be seen driving and transforming in the video.
It took a team of 12 engineers and four supporting technicians, eight months to complete the prototype.
In the video, an operator appears to use the remote control to drive the Letrons vehicle across a lot before initiating the machine's transformation. The operator also demonstrates the robot's actions, by moving its head and arms.
Letvision said, walking functionality was not developed for the prototype. However, this capability can be added if a reasonable funding is provided for a new research and development.
There's no information yet on how much these real-life Transformers could cost or when they will be available for purchase. However, the company said, it is planning a full line of transforming cars to join the bright-red Letrons, likely including an array of colors and body styles.
