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.

    SHHHH! Stop being reasonable! I'm trying to find out how many motorheads come to Soylent. If I can get a feud going between GM, Ford, and Mopar fanbois, we'll be able to get a count. There are some good acronyms for some of the other autos out there, too. I'd tell you what Pontiac stands for, but the progressives would be swarming my ass, thinking that I made it up all by myself. ;^)

    That's the moment to strike with Pro GTR or other ricer commentary to make sure the heat stays on high.

      Original NSX forever, in particular the version without power steering.

        Power steering is useful, but counter-steering is fun!

    Oh, fuck you. Tell us what Pontiac stands for :)

    It's not like you're afraid of the Progs around here. I grew up in a repair shop, so I've heard plenty of motorheads going off about how much Ford sucks. A lot :)

      You'd expect that from Ethanol, right?

        I'd expect EH to post it, and then revel in it. You get points for sensitivity I'm sure :)

        That's a pretty fucked up one too, but I've heard far worse in a shop.......
