Beijing Gets a 40-foot Optimus Prime
Recycling has never looked so cool.
Just because the second movie was awful and the third movie won't even have Megan Fox, that doesn’t mean we should lose all faith in Transformers. Optimus Prime is still as cool as Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking a facepalming Patrick Stewart. It's likely that with this precise simile in mind, Beijing got itself a 40-foot Optimus Prime to encourage green thinking.
Located in Green Dream Park, which is located northwest of Beijing's "Bird's Nest" National Stadium (2008 Olympic Games), and made out of junk, Crave reports that Optimus' head is made out of recycled car parts.
Thinly veiled under the guise of encouraging recycling, it's clear that this is a challenge to the 59-foot Gundam in Japan. Erected last year by Bandai, Crave says that Gundam is returning this year and he's going to be armed with a light saber!

Dear Lord... D: Awesum!
OMG Chuck Norris, cool? his moves look like he has too much calcium build up.
LOL!
not having megan fox in the next one is a good thing. she makes porn actresses seem talented.
can somebody make one of those here? preferably SoCal please.
They're going to take over the world with our fictional childhood toys and cartoon characters.
It's actually operational.
Meanwhile in Japan they are making the final adjustments to start producing actual working Optimus Primes on a massive scale...
These people never stops to amaze me.
Damn, this is going to spark a regional mecha arms race!
Firstly, Gundams use Beam Sabres so as to avoid a law suit.
Secondly Optimus Prime can't stand up to any of the Gundam franchise.

Not if the Japanese went bankrupt from the popular illegal practices of self loaning first
Awesome.
btw ... the second movie did not totally suck !!
Ill give it a couple of years before they finally figure it out how to make it move

After this and the "TL;DR" in the article about the free iPhone cases, I'm just going to call Jane out as a chantard.
"Ill give it a couple of years before they finally figure it out how to make it move"
But thats easy! just add a few wheels and give it a push! thats the green way to make it move!
america can only built a 40 foot fence around mexico
ASIANS FTW!
We need to build a 50 foot Megatron (G1 style) to beat them.
First the Central perk, now an Optimus Prime? How come my city isn't doing anything exciting?
How exactly is wasting time and resources on giant robot statues "green"? I fell off that train of thought apparently.
So, that is some TRANSFORMERation. This is similar to the Rock Garden in Chandigarh, India where all statues are made of junk.
So when does jane replace Megan Fox?

Thanks for the laugh
Im gonna miss Megan...although she became uninteresting when she got married a couple weeks ago
Awesome. You see our version of a robotic future is skynet or the Matrix. Asians are more Chobits and giant robots you can drive

I know alot of people will want to either see a pron film staring her or make a pron film with her.

Just hang in there... if you can wait til next summer, you'll see several patrolling along the southern US border
"Secondly Optimus Prime can't stand up to any of the Gundam franchise."
I like Gundam a ton better than Optimus Prime but I know Optimus Prime would completely destroy any mobile suit...

Yes, she is hot, but you are right, porn is all she is good for...are there no competent female actors left...give me a hot chick, yes, but please give me a hot chick that can act...
Meagen is all right, but that Shia LaBeouf is annoying. can't stand him like with chip and sparkpug. More robots and less human. Hope it is base in cybertron like the game version is.
Personally, I thought the second movie was much better than the first. I don't really see how you can group them together unless you just don't like the concept.
This one is a great inspirational example of green.God bless recycle product.
