The creation of artist and fan Tom Rhoads, who built the statue to share his love of these robots with his son. See the local news spot and more details below.
"I built it because I've always had a love for Transformers," said Tom. "When I was growing up four or five years old Transformers was huge, Transformers and GI Joe and I loved Transformers."

"I really wanted to have something special for my boy on his first birthday," said Tom. "And just kind of get a feeling to be what it would be to stand next to one of these guys and try to build one."
The original Bumblebee was based on a "Bug."
