A massive statue of a Transformers-style robot has gone on display in Ankara not, as some residents suspected, as an elaborate April Fool's joke but to promote a new theme park being built by the city's mayor.
The mass of metal and polyester, which now towers over a busy road junction in the centre of the Turkish capital, was erected to promote the new Anka theme park which mayor Melih Gokcek is having built despite a court injunction over complaints it breaks city planning rules, local press reported.
