Measuring four metres tall in robot form — but not voiced by iconic Casey Kasem — the J-deite RIDE is probably not the real-life Transformer your childhood dreams were made of. According to Science Alert, Japanese engineers unveiled the J-deite RIDE last week, but unlike Optimus Prime and his bot-buds, this invention takes a full minute to actually transform from car to robot.
