The future is here.

If you thought Transformers could only exist in a world as miraculous as one where Megan Fox would fall for a guy like Shia LaBeouf, think again.

Letrons, a Turkish startup, put together an awesome video showing off their even more awesome actual Transformer.

While the overdramatic short film is a little like a soap opera, the Transformer is not a joke in the slightest. The sports car expertly and smoothly transitions into a robot, showing off the team's expert engineering skills.

To prove that the Transformer was not an act of CGI, Letrons did a Facebook live this morning showing the robotic automobile in action.

While the cars are not yet drivable in traffic and the robot cannot walk, the creators see those features becoming a possibility in the future.

Oooooh boy, we hope these become a mainstream thing.
