--FILE--Visitors look at replicas of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the movie series, Transformers, and other robots made from scraps of vehicles at the yard of a farmhouse in Xiaoye village, Shengjing town, Zhangqiu city, east Chinas Shandong province, 21 March 2014. The success of the new Transformers film in China has been staggering, becoming the countrys highest-grossing film ever in a matter of days. And with that success comes a thriving cottage industry: a group of farmers who have exchanged ploughs for welding equipment in order to build gigantic models of the robots from the film. China Daily reports that the team in Xiaoye, a village in the eastern Shandong province, gave up their day jobs to devote their time to building the models of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and their various allies and antagonists. Their biggest robots cost around $16, 000, and are being bought by property developers to put in places like housing developments and malls.
