The temple monks that commissioned the statues said the bots have "no spiritual purpose," except to attract and entertain children who visit the temple with their parents.
"It's for children so they won't get bored when they come to the temple with their parents," monk Pra Vichien told news outlet AFP.
The bold idea seems to have worked -- although perhaps more so amongst the adults that are flocking to the temple to snap an Insta-worthy pic.

At least four more Buddhist temples across Thailand have bought superhero statues, according to Pairoj Thanomwong, the Thai artist who runs the workshop where these figurines are made. He charges a couple of thousand dollars for each, reportedly.

It's unclear if the commissioned Transformers figurines have been authorised by copyright owner Hasbro, but it's unlikely. We've reached out to Hasbro to check.
