GEORGE TOWN, July 7 — Penang will unveil Asia’s first Transformers street art installation at the Esplanade this July 19, joining an exhibition featuring characters from the animation and movie franchise.

The street art will feature Transformers characters painted on a row of containers by students from the One Academy Penang.

“For the first time, we will have the largest Transformers outdoor exhibit in Malaysia here with their backs to the sea as if they just arrived to save Penang and it will be accompanied by the Transformers street art,” Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said at the press conference this morning.
