Spotted at Bored Panda is a photo gallery on a Chinese farmer and his son creating giant transformer statues from scrap metal:
The Transformers franchise is hugely successful in China, so Yu Zhilin, who is a farmer but has a background in fine arts, decided to start creating robot statues from spare car parts during his spare time. Three years later, he finished his first recycled sculpture with his son Lu Yingyun, and the statues only got bigger from there. Now his enormous Optimus Prime and Bumblebee sculptures, assembled in his makeshift workshop, have gone viral!

I was expecting to see something that looks like carhenge [carhenge.com]. Which, admittedly, looks better now that is has been painted; but still looks like a standard redneck front yard, except the guy has a crane.. But this is so much better! If you told me that first picture was CGI from the movies, I would have believed you. In fact, these look much better than the movies.

This just goes to show that a fine arts degree is really worth something, as long as you're willing to apply it to something that lots of people actually like.

Please note, they are in China. As opposed to trying to sell their stuff on some place like Deviant Art / Etsy. http://www.dailydot.com/business/hasbro-my-little-pony-sherry-bourlon/ [dailydot.com] Don't ask how I know about this . . .

So? It's only a matter of scale, just use a larger lawyerpult.

Clearly an infringement on the Transformer brand. They better hunker down and get ready to be shut down - even in China.
