Homemade Transformer Transforms From Car To Robot

May 8, 2012 / different strokes for different folks (but if this is your stroke i strongly suggest getting a new one), hobbies, homemade, impressive, more than meets the eye (jk jk i could totally tell it was going to be able to transform), now transform and roll off the table and break both legs, transformer, zip zap zoop zap zip

Note: Photo shows both the before and after transformation because I Photoshopped them together while I was on the john.

This is Kenji Ishida's homemade Transformer. It uses 22 servo motors to transform from a sports car to a standing humanoid robot and back again. You know what the most amazing part is though? That somebody who builds a homemade Transformer that takes 22 servos to transform CAN'T UPLOAD A VIDEO IN HIGHER DEFINITION THAN 360p. That's like being able to clone dinosaurs but not raise Sea Monkeys.

Hit the jump for the metamorphosis in (low-quality) action.

Thanks to Green Giant and alex, who don't make homemade Transformers because they don't want me kicking their doors down and setting their workshops on fire.

  • Man, I Wish I Had A Bunkbed: Raised AT-AT Loft Bed
    March 27, 2013
    This is a legit looking AT-AT bunkbed. I'm not sure who made it, but I just searched Craigslist to see if it was for sale and came up with nothing. I did read a couple funny Missed Connections though. One about a dude who fell in love with the barrista at Starbucks. Here's a... / Continue →

  • I have never seen these kind of transformer toys before, I really like them. If they are made at home, then it's awesome work, which has been done by you.

    If you'd done your research, you might have found the upload from the actual creator (kenjiishida011) on youtube which is 480p.

  • now just change the body to optimus prime and it will be an awesome toy!

    Better than anything Michael Bay could ever dream up...

  • luxlucetintenebris

    The walk it did was hilarious! Bet it didn't take millions like the CGI effects in Transformers either.

  • 1:11 -- trying out for Real Steel 2.

  • I once made a Transformer using only a toy car and a hammer. Couldn't get it to transform back though.

  • With bewbs!
