Ever wanted to see a “real” Transformer up close and personal? Well, if you plan on visiting the Chicago Auto Show when it opens to the public on Friday, this might be the closest you’ll get. A full-size replica of the Bumblebee Autobot from the Transformers movie series is on display at the show.
Designer and sculptor DeWaldt Hicks, along with mold maker James Rothrock, spent much of Tuesday evening assembling the 18-foot-tall Autobot in the General Motors exhibit. Bumblebee will appear for the first time in public with other new Chevy “characters” from the upcoming Paramount Pictures movie, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
