Lokks like CGI..t i could be wrong there are some wierd but wonderful things out there

3d. It was posted on CGTalk a long while ago.

That's pretty cool, actually. I wonder if they are planning on mass-producing them.


Mr. M

This cant be real. It can stop a Landrover Defender? Anticipate its arrival and trajectory/speed? No way.. No.. Way.

Even if it's crap it's a great little site.

Take that ya evil Descepticon bastards!

lol yeah i see what you mean transform! lol really does look like it belongs in a cartoon

That made me think. Is there a big movie studio out there doing a live action Transformers movie?

if so maybe these guys are doing mock ups or special effects.

Just a thought.

It is CGI, not real.

This is a marketing ploy for the book Men of Metal.

That being said...

Its great CGI, looks real cool. And given enough money something like that could be built.

Utter nonsense. Very clever idea to make it seem like a doddering old professor came up with Transformer-like robots in the 50's. It's almost too good to be true. I think it might be some kind of promotion or hype builder for an upcoming movie or something. Why else would they go through all the trouble of making it seem like reality?

Very good CG though. The movements are way too smooth to be IRL though. Nice orange grid in the back too, easier to scale your 3d models to the human interaction.

it was sweet!

very clear it was fake to the internet savy, i wish they make a movie about the making of this "robot"

Hey all.. im fairly positive this is a commercial for Volkswagon... I have a video that shows a VW Beetle transform into a robot from a commercial... its freakin cool.. uses the hood as a shield and everything... and this looks JUST like it....

can aneybody find eal facts on this?even if it is fake.

that definately looks like CGI to me...
