Optimus Prime in Stillwater, OK

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

This has got to be one of the coolest things I have seen. Made completely of motorcycle and car parts.

Last summer I hopped on a plane and headed to Stillwater, OK for my nephew’s graduation from high school.

Being born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Oklahoma was a place I had never been and man was it FLAT.

My brother was showing me the town, then said, “Hey wanna see Optimus Prime?”

I was like, “Uh ok whatever dude”

Growing up my 3 brothers and I played with the Transformer action figures and watched all the cartoons. So seeing this thing in real life was so cool.

Granted, it didn’t transform into a semi truck but the detail in this was absolutely AMAZING!!

This is one of the feet. Look at all the gears, chains, even a shock absorber.

A little closer look at the lower leg.

I kept waiting for it to start moving. Lol.
“TRANSFORM!”
“TRANSFORM!”
Sad to say nothing happened but there are lights in the eyes that light up at night.

Here is one of the arms. Everytime I look at this picture it makes me wonder how the heck someone did all this.

More than meets the eye. 😉

There is also a Bumble Bee transformer but we were not able to make it over there.

So if for some reason you are in the Stillwater, OK area and have a connection to transformers like I do, swing in, take a little detour and check out this amazing work.

Until next time …
