Cleveland - Transformers (Someone must be a fan)
« on: October 23, 2009, 05:32:17 PM »
So I was driving on Wichita Ave because someone told me about this house


Then I found the house with the Transformers which were bigger then I thought they would be.

Someone put serious time into that.  Any guesses on how they made this, or where they bought it? 

Bumblebee doesn't look right.  Then again, I don't think any of the robots in the movie look right, and only a couple are even identifiable.

I know Zach already said it, but the first thing that came to my mind was "awesome!". It's a great asset for the neighborhood and likely has a side effect of calming traffic.

Very Nice!

Wow, those are nice. It would have been way easier to make G1 ('80s) robots. I'm going to put G1 Starscream in my yard now.

Yeah, that's a few blocks from my new house. I was going to make a Halloween picture thread using this one, but alas you beat me to it.

Apparently the guy made these transformers on his own and bumblebee took him about 5 months or so. That is what a friend of mine said who lives down the street, so not sure if it is entirely true. If it is though that's pretty damn good.

From what materials are they made?

From the video it looked like they were made of mostly wood.

I just drove by over the weekend to show a buddy of mine the transformers but they had been taken down. Hopefully they will be back next year for Halloween.
