Transformers! They’re the stuff of childhood dreams. And thanks to some enterprising folks in Japan, we’re one step closer to having them be a reality.
You’re looking at J-deite Quarter, a 1.3m-tall transforming robot made by Brave Robotics, Tomy and Asratec. It’s step one in a three-step goal of creating a 5m tall, life-sized and transforming robot by 2020. They’re slated to have the intermediary robot, J-deite half, done by 2016.

This is the coolest thing ever.
Although not as cool as that guy’s sunglasses.
OMG, now have him riding a hoverboard.
While that’s kinda cool.. What’s the actual plan for these? Seems kind of an expensive idea for a novelty..
Or even have him transform into a hoverboard
They didn’t show any video of it driving….
