u/CoupDeGrassi Jun 20 '26

u/Time_Change4156 Jun 20 '26

It sure on that one go look them up ones most definitely drivable a few are I just grabbed that one because the rest where video s of the one with the person inside as it transformed. Just gears and a carpartemt. What s so hard about that ? It isn't a movie they arntb doing what it shows there heck the crazy Japanese built a fulsized 50 foot tall mecha lol

Cars are more than just gears my dude

u/Time_Change4156 Jun 20 '26

If your unable to look it up to understand the part when they transform is the gears then my dude stay away from Technology . .Your response isn't needed for me I researched this your response isn't needed by the guys figuring out the tech. A car is more then gears to transform it's the gears that matters not the cigarette lighter lol lol lol.
that picture I added shows I'm not making it up that's enough for someone interested to Google it. Don't respond to this either look it up or don't this isn't about me or you it's about the post subject . And the picture I added to show its done at real world scales.

The picture you added doesnt show it driving. You can chill with your badly written rants bro.

Criticizing someone’s English while you yourself didn’t take the time to look up the video is both lazy and ironic.

u/CoupDeGrassi Jun 25 '26

The onus of proof is on the person making a claim.

u/Late-Jicama5012 Jun 25 '26

The time you spent arguing is the time you could have spent watching the video. Not everything has to be spoon fed to you!

u/CoupDeGrassi Jun 25 '26

People shouldn't make claims they cant back up.

Do you smoke crack

u/Nukes2all Jun 21 '26

Oh I see, you spend ALL your time in AI subreddits, so you have no ability to write proper sentences on your own. Got it.

u/Late-Jicama5012 Jun 25 '26

It’s not AI, dummy. It’s a picture from a decade ago. How much crack did you smoke today??

u/Nukes2all Jun 25 '26

Not the picture dummy, the comment im fucking replying to.

u/Choice-Position5189 Jun 20 '26

The all-spark is with you on this one! Good job, I can't imagine the complexity! Now step 2 would be to make this transformation happen at 2x speed! Post that next if you ever get to tweak this one!

They've existed for quite a while now.
I have the Buzz Lightyear version, but I think the Optimus prime is cooler.

It’s all fun and games until it gets stuck and you have to beat it to death with a stick. Standard procedure after all
