Movie Replica Robots

Yang Junlin Recreates Stunning Models of the Characters from Transformers

— March 16, 2011 — Pop Culture
Yang Junlin is not your ordinary designer. The skilled Chinese metal worker has been building robots and metal creations for several years. In one of his latest breathtaking works, Yang Junlin put together thousands of metal pieces to create characters from the Transformers movie series.

Yang Junlin intricately created almost exact replicas of the characters featured in the film, all with just scrap metal. Five years ago, Junlin opened up Legend of Iron, a shop dedicated to just building cool robot sculptures. Since then, he's had no intention to stop this awesome hobby.

Although building these Transformers replicas is intensely time-consuming, Yang Junlin knows the end result is worth it. I'm not sure if he has plans to sell his creations, but I'm dying to own one of these amazing pieces.
