Anyone else get chills when the legend Peter Cullen breaks this story out? "Be strong enough to be gentle." Some wisdom right there. 

Kids are so lucky these days. Toys just keep on getting cooler. This wild Transformers toy actually manages to transform into the widely loved Optimus Prime. Pretty dang epic. 

MentalFloss reports that this real-life Optimus Prime Transformer was created by a Turkish company named Letvision. This beast is dubbed Letrons, and you've gotta think that happened cause of some folks over at the Transformers franchise.

A father an son have made a business out of creating these giant Transformers out of scrap metal and spare car parts.  The first took three years to make in an abandoned warehouse based on photos they got online, but they've now turned their hard work into a thriving business; they made about a million RMB (over $160,000 USD) last year.
