China has been the source of a lot of giant robot statues in recent years, so there seems to be a bit of demand/interest for them there, and maybe something more this time.

Just in from a UK news site is an article about 13 different 8-meter statues being erected in China, including Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron (the others look to be generic robots).

These have appeared in Changchun, Jilin province, which is in North East China, with speculation that they could be building a Transformers themepark there soon on the 60,000 square meter site.

If they do build an entire themepark for Transformers, it'd certainly be a holiday destination for some fans.
