The Transformers movie may be known for its transforming robots, but these real-life versions are just as cool, if not cooler. They range from simple cars to giant life-sized creations. Continue reading to see them all.
1. Transforming Car
This was the YouTube video that started the entire real transformers craze online. It was apparently an entrant in a Japanese robotics competition and was quite the crowd pleaser.
2. Humvee Bioloid
Created by YouTube user “balhan00”, this transforming robot actually resembles a real-life car, the Humvee, and has a built-in camera to boot. That’s not all, it can also be programmed to dance along to music.
3. Cherubim
Robot-Force introduces Cherbium, a transforming robot that’s touted as being flexible. While it can’t double as a remote-controlled car, this bot is most certainly strong enough to knock over a filled bottle.
4. Layered-X
At first glance, it may look like a creepy mechanical spider, but at the push of a button, this robot turns into a headless humanoid that loves swinging its arms. Apparently, this robot’s side job is a gymnast, as it’s quite flexible.
5. Bumblebee
Sure, this Bumblebee is not a real robot per se, but it was too cool to leave off this list. Essentially, it’s a wearable costume that allows you to transform into a Camaro, should you be limber enough.
