Well, I've seen some funky concept vehicles in my day, but this one takes the cake! Looks like it should be something right out of the uncoming Transformers 2 movie.This Yamaha-branded Deus Ex Machina concept motorcycle was dreamed up by Jake Loniak, an Art Center Pasadena student. It obviously looks awesome. Like a robot and a vehicle all in one. Since it’s a concept, Jake went a little crazy with the specs. It will be powered by ultra-capacitors and doped nano-phoshpate batteries (like those in hybrid cars). 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators are set along a spine consisting of seven vertebrae, and that’s what keeps it in control.
I'd hate to see the crash test result for this one.

It's actually more like the Centurions than the Transformers. Did you ever watch the cartoon series?
