Turkish real-life 'Transformers' car debuts in Ankara

A group of Turkish engineers have successfully turned science fiction into science reality by building real-life “transformers" that can transform from a car into a giant robot.

The 'Transformers' car named Antimon, which is also dubbed Letrons, was introduced to the media and public in Ankara while performing in an outdoor test drive.

Letrons, the Turkish company that designed and built the car posted a video to You Tube showing their amazing creation's performance as a real Transformer.

The video shows the car driving around a paved lot before stopping and transforming into a giant robot that moves its head, arms and fingers.

The robot then transforms back into a car and continues its drive.

The car-turned-robot can speak, understand the command and move its head.

“Hello, I am Antimon. Who are you?" the robot told its builder.

Engineers, who have been working for eight months to build the robot, said it did not have room for a driver or passenger like its cinematic version, but it does actually drive via remote-control.

Letrons said a total of 12 Turkish engineers worked at the Gazi University Technopark in Ankara over their new creation.
