Proposals are getting harder and better. Here's one from China, and it involves enlisting the help of Optimus Prime.

One guy constructed a three story tall model of the Transformers leader over the course of 10 months to impress his girlfriend. Thank goodness she said yes, since there's no way he'd be able to use this on another girl.

The machine took 400 drawings, 40,000 rivets and nearly $10,000 worth of stainless steel and iron. Let's hope that structure remains where it is, at least for a while. [YCWB via Chris Buckley]
