If you watch one homemade Japanese RC car transformer video today, make it this one. This amazing little roadster switches from sports car to dancing robot in a few seconds and it can even walk while in robot mode, and, more important, transform back into a car in the blink of an eye.

Made by Kenji Ishida, the robot has 22 servos that help it take on the Decepticons and/or your cat. Apparently this is the fourth version of the robot and the creator is expecting to make more over the next year. It is, in short, amazing.
