Real-life Transformer for sale

Robotics have definitely come a long way in the last few years, and although not quite on the level of Michael Bay’s Transformers live-action imagining (or RoboCop or Terminators, for that matter), we’re making baby steps in the right direction.

Japanese designers have created a real Transformer, and while it’s only a 1/12 scale model, the build isn’t hard to imagine in full size.

Dubbed “Transform Robot Version 7.2”, designers Brave Robotics show off their creation, as it transforms from a car to a standing robot, complete with walking, firing and various moving actions.

You can grab one of these pint-sized Transformers for just $24,000, so get saving – Christmas is only a couple of weeks off.
