Gardens By The Bay Has A Life-Sized Optimus Prime Statue

From now until 10 Apr, Gardens By The Bay plays host to two characters from the Transformers universe.

The towering Optimus Prime and burly Optimus Primal are in Singapore to promote the upcoming ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ film.

Even if you don’t follow the films, a massive robot against the Singapore skyline is still a sight to behold.

With his confident stance and stoic gaze, anybody would feel safe under his watch.

Crouched next to him is the muscular Optimus Primal who gazes fiercely into the horizon.

Unlike the quiet confidence of Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal has a more fearsome look with its bared fangs and glowing green eyes.

The film will be in cinemas from 8 Jun and features Oscar award-winner Michelle Yeoh as Airazor. The character is apparently a Maximal or beast version of the Autobots which transforms into a falcon, reports The Star.
