Their logo looks more like the stargate logo:

Turkey has a long history of ripping off everything and everyone...

Going to echo the YouTube comment sections. The editing is shit.

In all seriousness, why is iDubbbz in the related channels?!

Well, it's a start. We had seen people make transforming vehicles in the past, but this one actually moved as a car. But it's not a true transformer since people cannot ride in the inside, and of course the car body is just a shell hiding the robot body.

If they improve on these flaws, then I could see it gaining some potential possibility.

Antimony, bismuth, argon, tungsten (which is called "wolfram" or variations thereof in quite a few languages, including Turkish), and tantalum. Points for the elemental naming scheme, at least.

Hence we get the beauty of their Star Wars and Spiderman ripoffs. Personally, I think everybody should see those movies ("The Man Who Saved The World" and "3 Dev Adam"/"3 Strong Men") at least once in their lives. Very Happy

They look more like Roadbots than Transformers, though I think Hasbro's not going to be pleased with Bizmut's head.

I thought the turkey was transforming into the BMW car.

That thing made WAY too much noise. I would've been more impressed with a silent transformation than one with a ton of sfx.

curiosa: 'Tungsten' is two words in Swedish, 'tung' and 'sten'. Translated back to English it means 'heavy'(tung) 'stone'(sten). But they call it wolfram...

It's a truly impressive sight, but the smoke effect from the knees sort of ruined the moment for myself... At least I like how the naming scheme has been centered around the Periodic Table. Smile

That was just plain incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if "Top Gear" were to do a segment on this. I just wouldn't.
