Yu Zhinin and his son are two farmers from Hunan Province in China. According to Shanghaiist , after the Transformers films blew up big in cinemas, the two saw a chance for possible joint-business venture.Already possessing a background in fine arts, the father found an abandoned factory to work in, then, armed with some used car parts and images downloaded from the Internet, Zhinin brought in his son to help out in turning spare parts into Transformers.Their first build took around three years to complete, says Sina News . But with a wealth of experience under their belts, the amateur-builder business rakes in a reported one million RMB each year – that’s around £108K or about $160K.There’s no news yet whether director Michael Bay will be hiring the two as a cheaper alternative on the next Transformers film. He probably should though, right?
