《变形金刚》系列卡通形象问世30多年来，大概有很多粉丝都希望有一天身边真的能出现可以变形的汽车人。如今，这个梦想真的变成了现实。

Thirty-some years after making their debut as cartoon characters, vehicle-morphing Transformers have finally become a reality, thanks to the efforts of a Turkish company out of Ankara.

《变形金刚》卡通形象问世30多年之后，能变形的汽车终于成为现实，这一切要归功于土耳其安卡拉城外的一家公司。

The R&D-focused company, called Letvision, recently wowed the internet with a presentation video for their prototype car-transforming robot, ANTIMON. The recently-released footage shows a red BMW M3 being unveiled and remotely driven toward the camera, where it proceeds to transform into a mighty Autobot-like robot. The whole process takes a bit longer than in Michael Bay’s CGI movies, but it’s still mesmerizing to watch.

专注研发的公司Letvision（乐视野）最近在网上发布了他们的汽车变形机器人ANTIMON的雏形展示视频，惊呆了一众网友。在最近发布的这段视频里，一辆红色宝马M3从远处朝着摄像机驶来，与此同时，红色宝马开始变身为一个强大的汽车机器人。整个变形的过程比导演迈克尔 贝影片（《变形金刚》）里过程耗时要久一些，但看起来依旧让人着迷。

For fear of copyright infringement issues, Letvision chose to call its creations Letrons, but they’re as close to real-life Transformers as they can currently get. The first video of ANTIMON shows that it can move its arm and head on command and while walking functionality has not been developed yet, the company claims it’s doable if they can secure reasonable funding for a new research and development project.

为了避免侵犯知识产权，Letvision公司给这个系列的变形机器人取名为Letrons（乐创），不过，这个机器人的外形是目前最接近现实版变形金刚的。ANTIMON的第一段视频中，汽车机器人可以根据口令移动手臂和脑袋，但目前尚未研发行走功能。该公司表示，如果能够为新的研发项目落实资金，行走功能是可以实现的。

On its official website, Letvision claims that ANTIMON was developed using an actual BMW M3, but it can only be control remotely, as the seating part of the car is currently taken up by the hydraulics system required for the awesome transformation into a Letron. However, they plan on making the vehicles drivable, which probably means integrating the passenger seat into the Letron as well.

Letvision公司在官网上表示，ANTIMON是用一辆宝马M3研发出来的，但是，目前只能遥控，因为车里的座位被变形所需的液压悬挂装置占用了。不过，他们计划在未来让变形汽车可以正常驾驶，这可能意味着要在乐创系列汽车机器人上安装座椅。

Letvision claims they came up with the idea for Letrons during a brainstorming session on a unique and futuristic project. ANTIMON reportedly took a team of 12 engineers and 4 technicians eight months to complete. They have created four other Letron models and are currently working on creating them using various car models.

该公司表示，制作乐创系列汽车机器人的想法来源于一次头脑风暴，当时是为了讨论一个独创且有前瞻性的项目。12名工程师和4名技术人员总共花了8个月的时间才完成ANTIMON机器人。他们已经研制出了另外四款乐创机器人模型，目前正忙于用各种车型完成机器人的制作。

Now for the question that has probably been on your mind since you came on this page – Can you buy your very own real-life car-morphing robot? The answer is ‘YES’. Levision says that their letrons can be for sale, provided that “the buyers project and their reasons for use, meets the criteria of the Letrons team.”

现在来回答一直盘旋在大家脑中的那个问题：我们能为自己买一个现实版的汽车变形机器人吗？答案是：能。Levision公司表示，他们的乐创系列机器人会对外出售，只要“买家的项目和购买用途符合乐创团队的标准。”
