You know how when a guy courts a girl, sometimes the right move is a grand gesture? A bouquet of flowers to say you’re sorry. A surprise weekend getaway to mark an anniversary. How about a giant Transformers replica to pop the question?
That’s what this guy did. According to Chinese news site Jinyang, he constructed this three-story-tall model of Optimus Prime over the course of 10 months to impress his girlfriend enough that she’d say yes. The superheroic machine took 400 drawings, 40,000 rivets and nearly $US10,000 worth of stainless steel and iron. But boy does it look badass — much more so than some silly toy.
No word on what the lucky lady said, but based on this photo, things look promising. [YCWB via Chris Buckley]
