A father and son team inspired by the Transformers film series have turned their Russian-made Lada into a shape-shifting robot with fully-functioning automatic weapons.

Gennadiy Kocherga and his son Sergey, spent almost six months turning their VAZ-2110 Lada into their own version of a character from the popular movie franchise. And their efforts went on full display at the Oryol stunt show in Russia this week.

The Youtube video is interesting, if for nothing other than the lack of special effects.

    It appears the crowd saw the side profile as it rolled by, which isn't as impressive as the front.

    "isn't as impressive" is a massive understatement. From the side it just looks like the front and rear side panels stacked on top of each other. The rear is pretty lame looking as well, this thing should have driven straight towards the audience.

    Here's hoping they can get a better funded 2nd chance!

        Real gunfire is stupid anyway, and should be replaced by firecrackers or something. In fact those guns already do look fake.
