Citizens of Earth! Be prepared for an invasion of galactic proportions! The Transformers are landing! For the first time ever on the African continent, Transformers Animatronics: The Exhibition has touched down to wow fans of the globally popular movie, TV series, comic book and toy-line franchise.
Meet Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Star scream and many other bots in the flesh, or rather metal. The exhibition will be massive and impressive in size, featuring animatronic Transformers, sculptures scaled between 2m and 11m, and another statues varying in size – all made from re-used car parts, metal and other repurposed materials.
Eye-popping performance technology
The exhibition’s scale is itself worthy of the Transformers themselves. A minimum of 2,500sqm of floor space is needed over a 20-day build-up to bring the sculptures and statues to life, displayed against the scenery of the legendary planet, Cybertron, all brought to life through eye-popping performance technology.
In addition, an arsenal of weapons used by the Transformers characters will be showcased. Fans young and old can immerse themselves in the incredible universe of these otherworldly creations, from their origins in comic books to the television series and blockbuster movies that have garnered billions of dollars in revenue.
Autobots and Decepticons also feature prominently, accompanied by the latest Dino Bots and famous Rescue Bots, the famed pre-school series that has expanded the Transformers fan base. Kids will get to enjoy a dedicated kids’ activation zone, where they can build their own Transformers using waste materials.
Following a sold out South American tour The Exhibition has travelled to South Africa in 7 shipping containers. The Exhibition is in South Africa for 11 months.
