Kwansformer
A CHINESE arts student has spent $43,000 building a giant Transformer for a school project.
Bi Heng, 26, used bits of a military truck to assemble the 9.7m tall statue of legendary Chinese general Guan Yu.
He calls it a "Kwansformer" and we're sure Guan Yu would be impressed, having made a name for himself in the 3rd Century for helping free China from the Han Dynasty.
You might have seen him in Joo Woo's film Red Cliff, fighting for Liu Bei in the bit before the naval battle. Or maybe not.
Anyway, you can't miss him if you visit the Chinese Central Academy of Fine Arts, because he's now isntalled there and could take some moving.
Hang began his project back in 2006 and says while he's been offered money for the statue, it hasn't been enough to let him part with his beloved Kwansformer.
His next project is to build a giant Monkey King out of taxis.
