The Transformers craze is still healthy, alive and kicking (I believe it always has been). This awesome appearance at a Beijing mall showcased a manmade Transformer, the Jetta-Bot.
The mall had the Volkswagon Transformer made as an attraction for guest both local and foreign. The Jetta-Bot is not a mechanical robot so it does not move; however, it is very well made and quite the sight to see.
The Jetta-Bot is a dream come true for the original Transformer generation (we all dreamed of seeing a real car transform) and an awesome sculpture to introduce the younger generation to this phenomenon.
