Driveable BMW Transformer Made In Turkey (Video)
What’s the latest in technology? No, it’s not the cold fusion or a trip to Mars, it’s even more exciting! The technology is finally there to make a car that’s also a functional full-size transformer!
Made by a Turkish company called Letrons, this BMW can transform into a Michael Bay-sized robot by the click of a button. Unfortunately, unless you want to be crushed inside, you’ll have to use the remote to control it from outside.
How much does this thing cost? Sadly, the company doesn’t reveal the numbers, so you’ll have to contact them personally. Oh, and if you do, make sure you ask them when the Bumblebee is coming. We’re fans over here…

This Guy Made Real-Life Thor Hammer That Only He Can Lift
Thor’s hammer Mjolnir has an awesome anti-theft device in that it can’t be lifted by the unworthy. A fan recreated this feature with his own hammer. Not having access to the magic of the Norse gods, he opted to use electromagnets (salvaged from a microwave) and a thumbprint scanner. If anyone who doesn’t have their print recorded tries to lift the pseudo-Mjolnir, they can’t – as long as the hammer stays on a metal surface!
The hammer doesn’t return to the wielder’s arm and won’t get stuck to non-metal surface – we probably need about 20 years of technological and nerd engineer evolution for those features. The hammer was made by YouTube user “Sufficiently Advanced” (Allen Pan). The name is a reference to the third law of British sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Many have tried to lift Mjolnir…
…but none succeeded!
Only the worthy – or the hammer’s creator Allen Pan – can pick it up!
The magic rests mainly in a salvaged microwave electromagnet and a thumbprint scanner.
See why only the worthy can lift Mjolnir, Hammer Of Thor:
