JAXA and Toyota's 'Lunar Cruiser' moon rover is now a Transformers toy
It can now be revealed that Japan's proposal for a future moon rover is "more than meets the eye."
As first announced last June but just now starting to ship, a new scale model of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Lunar Cruiser not only faithfully reproduces the details of the astronaut transport developed in conjunction with Toyota, but also transforms into Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots.
Yes, the new Takara Tomy toy is a crossover between the real agency's concept and Transformers, the "robots in disguise" franchise.
