Full Size Transformer Built in China: Autobot X2
Three Chinese guys decided to build their own Transformer after seeing the recent blockbuster movie.
Meet Autobot X2, a custom built Citroen C2 Transformer.
Unfortunately you won’t hear any cool sounds or commands to lay down your weapons. Unable to transform or move, the X2 is a 1,200 pound kick ass statue that cost about $8,000 to make.
If you think that is cool, they are planning on making Optimus Prime next…

I’m sure it had nothing to do with the Transformers movie, more it was inspired by the transforming C2 in the Citroen adverts that have been running for a few years.

Awesome!
One thing tho, it’s not a Citroen C2, but a C4 (tho the headlights look a little bit different), but definitely not a C2 =P.

Yea, because those stupid chinks can’t even build real transformers that transforms, talk about behind the time. Right? Why don’t you build one and show them how it’s then? Moron.

The amount of morons making comments here is unreal, do you really think it can transform? Maybe you should get off the internet and go back to day dreaming.

Why do you call it transformer if it cannot transform?

Let’s see you build one Bill. As far as behind time, I don’t think you have visited or knew any thing of today’s China. Heard of ‘The Rising Dragon’? Why don’t you educate yourself a little before you criticize.

He was being deliberately racially biased, as a form of sarcasm.
He was basically replying to the insulting comment with “I’d like to see you do better, moron.â€
…
Awesome statue!

Wa, I think you’ll find that Bill was being sarcastic to have a go at “Anonymous”, don’t be a git.

Car bore time…
The car pictured is a Citroen.. but it isn’t. It’s a Dongfeng T21 – A Peugeot 206 re-badged as the Citroen C2 in China
Why is it dressed up as a transformer? Because of Citroen’s hugely popular transformer marketing campaign featuring a dancing robot Citroen C4 (done using CGI and a guy in a suit). This can be viewed here and the follow-up here .
Both of those adverts came out long before the recent transformers movie.
I suspect it’s perfectly genuine, wouldn’t be hard to make after all. And of course it doesn’t transform… ^_^

More intereating: The nuclear Power Plants China builds! Less propaganda more facts: China has bullet train commuters America does not! Tell the truth, Chian ahead of an over militarized America! China has BYD Shanghai volt-knock-off up and running, proven two year of taxi service before GM(America) gets Volt past "Vapor-ware" stages! China has more post graduates with I Q's 130+ than America has high school students, drop-outs included! How many study Sciences? How many Engineers? Physicists? Nuclear Physicists? How many multi-discipline? How many multi-lingual? Capitalist excesses ruining America! China too? Is this possible? Does China really have fat assed spoiled brats? in a commie country? What gives? How much of what we believe about China is made up by Western propagandists? CIA? Advertising? Just Bull shit? Can we get the truth from the internet?, a fair picture of China? How many English speaking Chinese? Soje say more than in America. Is that possible? Chian does more than toys for idiots!
