A Small Factory Owner Is Building Incredible Life-Size Transformer Replicas

A week before the next "Transformers" movie hits theaters, one man is making his own real-life Optimus Primes and Bumblebees.

Reuters photographer Aly Song took photos of the many colorful transformer robots and dinobots he creates.

They're incredible.

We've reached out to Song to find out more about the life-size Transformers.

Here are a few of Lei's creations.

They tower above passersby.

Not all of Lei's creation are massively tall. This dino-looking creature is closer to the ground.

Here, kids are resting on one of the transformers in the shape of a tank.

These transformers are still a work in progress.

They're put together and are on display in the outskirts of Shanghai.REUTERS/Aly Song
