Transformer Inspirations

Sadly it seems not much info is coming out about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen front. So below are some stuff I stumbled across over the last week or so that seem to be examples of how Transformers have inspired many. The first from China is various Autobot like robots built from junk yard parts. They remind me of the Alternator line. The full gallery is here.

Next up apparently de-classified video of the F-35 Lightning II that shows lots of Transformer like inspirations. Sadly it doesn't turn into an actual war robot. The military should probably consider that for version three. More info here.

Last is from France where art troupe "Not So Noisy" put together robot images from multiple cars. Not actual transformation thought. Personally I am hoping their next attempt is to use stop motion cameras to take multiple cars put together as one car then move them to show a transformation sequence. Course such an idea would be a royal pain in the rear. Full gallery is here.
