The Hollywood Transformers movie franchise has inspired a group of Chinese farmers in East China's Shandong province.

A dozen farmers have come up with a range of towering creations in a workshop in Zhangqiu City. Their creations include Optimus Prime and the famous Bumblebee. The tallest models are 15 meters high, and are being sold at 100,000 yuan a piece. One hundred pieces have been sold so far, with most of the buyers being shopping mall owners who believe that the sculptures will attract customers.
