Man creates 12-meter high Bumblebee Transformer

A man in Shangqiu, Henan province spent five months building a giant replica of Bumblebee, a character in the popular movie series "Transformers", Chinanews.com reported on Tuesday.

Li Futang, a 42-year-old amateur engineer, used pieces of scrap metal he collected from discarded cars to build the 12-meter tall and 22-ton jumbo figure.

As an environmentally friendly robot, it is equipped with intelligent systems including lights, voices and music. It can even swivel its head a full 180 degrees and spray a cooling mist from its chest.
