A team of Turkish engineers has successfully converted a working BMW
into a real life transformer in a period of only 8 months. The project
has resulted in the most realistic fully-functioning transformer robots
to date. Completed by a team from the Turkish design and engineering
firm, Letrons, the working robot/cars are incredible to see in action. Check out the transformers in all their glory in the video below.
The company is also making a whole line of transforming BMW robots,
which the team is working towards soon. If you want to get your hands on
one of these robots, they are for sale. However, they are likely
incredibly pricey, and the engineering team has to agree with your
intended use. Sorry supervillains, you can’t take over the world with a
transforming BMW quite yet.
There really isn’t much space inside for a human to fit, but the cars
maintain driveability through remote control. If you would like to fund
the team of 12 engineers and technicians for more work on the project,
they do believe they can make it drivable by a human in the future. In
all of their transformer glory, the BMW transformers still cannot walk.
The team simply didn’t have enough funding to make this happen, but
again, they think they can engineer a solution given more money.
So, do you want a transformer but you aren’t a fan of BMWs? The team
says that theoretically, they can create the transformer robots from any
model of car, although the price for a redesign like this is likely not
small.
Transformers are now a very real innovation in our world thanks to
this brilliant team of Turkish engineers. This is one of the most
impressive iterations of robotic transformers we have ever seen, and
with enough money, you can own one for yourself. If you are interested
