Man makes Volkswagen into more than meets the eye

After he got through with it, it was a robot in disguise!

Via Topless Robot, there’s a guy (wow, I nearly typed “god”) in Lemoore, California who loved Transformers so much, he built an 18-foot-tall version of Bumblebee out of his yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

The statue, which weighs 1,200 pounds, even has what looks to be a PVC-pipe gun. Simply stunning, even if it stands almost as bow-legged as Tony Danza.

    First a lifesize Gundam, now a lifesize Bumblebee.

    All we need now is either a 1:1 scale Optimus Prime, or even a lifesize VF-1 Valkyrie/Veritech.

    The geeks truly have inherited the Earth (and that’s a good thing).
