[quote=Xinhua] [img]http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/photo/2011-04/20/13838158_11n.jpg[/img] A transformer model featuring legendary Chinese general Guan Yu towers up on a street in downtown Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, April 20, 2011. The 9.7-meter-high robot, designed by a college student, is made of steel bars, PVC plastics and lumber. Guan Yu was a general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period (A.D. 220-265). He is respected as a symbol of loyalty and worshipped as the god of war in China.

I bet he's a truck.
No thats not right! There must be a Zhang Fei and Liu Bei also. Plus where the fuck is his beard?
[QUOTE=ColdWave;29369321]No thats not right! There must be a Zhang Fei and Liu Bei also. Plus where the fuck is his beard?[/QUOTE] That's what I was thinking. Just how is this statue depicting a legendary dead Chinese general?
That's pretty kick ass
Give this x10 the size [img]http://www.btxkungfu.com/images/weapon_guandao.jpg[/img] To the statue and it will be "ok"
Awesome, good to see pop culture becoming enveloped into belief system. Also, I wonder if he's an Autobot or a Decepticon?
This is a work of art. Now let's just hope they don't make a giant My Little Pony statue
waitwaitwait so they made a transformer body, and slapped some Chinese general's head on it?

Better picture of the face [url]http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/photo/2011-04/20/13838156_11n.jpg[/url]
Where's his magnificent beard?
That's pretty hype, but where's his BLUE MOON DRAGON
He appears to be a military vehicle of some kind. Which is funny because only the Decepticons chose to emulate military hardware.
Make Sun Tzu next.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;29379734]No, make Lu Bu[/QUOTE] Mao Ze Dong, plz.
Nothing would honor me more than a statue of a transformer version of me. Looks like he's a military supply truck.
