Let’s face it, there have been numerous toys over the years, but none have come close to recreating a Transformers robot seen in the films, that is unless…you’re talking about Letvision’s Letrons prototype. This Turkey-based startup has created a robot that looks like a standard BMW 3 Series coupe at first, but at the push of a button, it transforms into a giant robot. While humans can’t get behind the wheel, it’s controlled with a special remote.
When we first covered this robot, there was no price tag, but as of now, one of these will set you back a cool $600,000 USD. Why so expensive? Well, it takes a team of twelve engineers and four supporting technicians months to build just a single robot. The next upgrade to this machine would be to give it the ability to walk, or at least one reasonable funding is provided for new research and development.
