    Arch's Location

    It's sitting/kneeling at the corner of 7th Street and Fort Duquesne Boulevard.

    Of course it's an Autobot. Listen to the designer himself:

    “While not looking human, it has human qualities,” explains Sokolowski. “It is benevolent; it wants to revive the city.

    Pittsburgh certainly needs all the help it can get. Hopefully Arch can bring back the younger demographic.

    It is always refreshing to see transformers stepping out of being "just for geeks" and becoming more and more, a part of our culture.

    Don't you just hate it when you're going about your daily business, and its almost like you have to turn off your "transformer-fanness" because there is no other person to talk to about transformers ?

    That article didnt say much. 1- I want to know how Glenn Kaino got picked for this job. 2- How much does the city pay him for Arch? 3- I want to know how Glenn made this! 4- did Pittsburg give him all the materials for this? 5- What materials did he use? 6- how much $ JUST for materials?

    And, ya very strange how none of us TFfans knew about this until now?
