Most awesome metal crafted Transformers sculptures

First up on the list is what can be labeled as one of the best sculptures of Optimus Prime. An amazingly accurate creation by RoboSteel, this 2.5 meter tall robot that weighs 550 kilograms is made of over 5,000 steel parts that were collected from a boat, car, motorbike, television, dishwasher and several other machines. Taking extra care while building the robot, the guys at RoboSteel got rid of all the sharp edges and coated it with layers of strong, protective lacquer. Fortunately, the robot is for sale provided you’re willing to shell out a whopping 5,500 Euros for it.

Recently, at the Nanjing Auto Exhibition in China, characters from the Transformers movie franchise and cartoons were on display for the public. The best part about the exhibition was that all creations were made from waste auto parts, inspiring others to keep note of the fact that it is always a better choice to recycle than to just dispose. The Transformers characters were sculpted to perfection and bore a very close resemblance to the robots from the franchise.

Most Halloweens see participants decking themselves in horror-themed costumes but a family in Cleveland decided to go one better. They constructed a replica of Optimus Prime's faithful sidekick, Bumblebee, and displayed it in their front yard. We figure it's a newer generation of Bumblebee as the Chevy logo can be seen on the chest, leading us to assume it could virtually transform into a Camaro. The structure has attracted a lot of admiring attention from passersby and Transformers' enthusiasts. Not much info has been given on the creators, just that they're an ordinary family based out of Ohio's Cleveland.

Yang Junlin of Huizhou, China has come up with some of the most amazing Transformers sculptures that we’ve seen. With over 1,000 sculptures built after he opened his own factory in 2007 titled ‘Legend of Iron’, these models are bizarrely unique and it’s difficult to stop fixating your eyes on them. Yang’s ‘Legend of Iron’ factory uses all types of scrap metal that include car parts and steel sheets to bring these fantastic replicas to life, just almost.

The “Transformer X2” was built by cartoon fans Sui Lulu, Li Wei and Zhang Yiming from a Citroen C2 car and was displayed at an exhibition center in Nanjing, China. It took the trio around three months to build the “Transformer X2” and the overall cost of the project was worth $8,000. However, the end result was anything short of exhilarating.

These creations by Thai sculptor, Anchalee Saengtai are too good to be true. Using discarded automobile parts, Anchalee and her team took to the task of building gigantic robots that stand at 19 and 8 feet tall. Anchalee’s detailed creations are simply amazing which is exactly why Ripley’s Believe It or Not have decided to commission some of the models for their world-wide shows.

Drawing large inspiration from the Transformers “Autobots,” a mall in Beijing has built a Volkswagen Passat-a-bot to help attract customers to its newly-opened movie theater. The Passat-a-bot has appeared to be drawing large crowds since it was first structured.

Next on the list is the Bendy bus Prime, a life-sized robot sculpture that measures 13×11×6 feet in dimensions. The Bendy Bus Prime, made out of around 100 original bus parts and equipped with an Oyster card reader, is said to be the first British-inspired Transformer.

Created from the parts of an old yellow Camaro is a 2.2 meter tall life-sized sculpture of the Bumblebee. The non-transformable robot, built by RoboSteel, is made entirely from recycled parts, once again providing inspiration to all to take care of the environment by not disposing waste car parts.

Although not a genuine character from the Transformers franchise, this massive 4000 kilogram, 32-foot tall robot made from junk and old truck parts makes it to this list because of its uniqueness and intimidating appearance. Standing really tall, the bot was designed and built by students from China’s Central Academy of Fine Arts, and is inspired from Guan Gong, a Chinese historical hero. The overall cost of the project amounted to around $4,500.
