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.

    Wow, way to shit all over what must've been a very challenging technical project.

    If an American had made it for a rodeo, complete with stars and stripes painting, it'd be the OMGWTF AWESOMEST thing of the century.

      An American rodeo promoter needs to sponsor making one, and bring these guys over for a Rocky IV esq matchup that's heavy on the cheese.

    Sorry.. I was pressed for time when I edited the article from a link only sub. It is pretty damn sweet. And it would be cool to have one, or at least get to drive it. The special effects comment was meant (and obviously did NOT convey it) as a reference to the fact that the movie has to use a shitton of special effects to make the car transform.

    My apologies for sounding like a shithead.

    If it was a project by Americans, it would have been technically very non-noteworthy, but the video would have been filled with all kinds of fancy special effects.
