Title, date, keywords, and additional description details based on information provided by the photographer.

In Stillwater, Oklahoma, it's something quite different (some would say imposing) as it's a 22-foot-tall Transformer figure (this is one of two), outside the G&M Body Shop. He's named Optimus Prime, the other, Bumblebee. Each scrap-metal figure mimics the look of a giant "autobot" from the science-fiction "Transformers" movies.
