The video was taken at a section of the new Universal Beijing Resort called Transformers Metrobase where people can meet several well-known characters from the Transformers franchise. It is a popular attraction with people often queuing to take photos with the robots and interact with them.
In the video a man is seen looking up at Megatron, an evil character who leads a group of robots called the Decepticons in the films, and suddenly raises his middle finger at the robot. He then sniggers and walks in front of the robot for a photo opportunity.
In the video Megatron pauses momentarily, before launching into an angry tirade: “Your gesture is too rude. Haven’t your father and mother taught you [to behave yourself]? Foolish rascal, foul human! Go away, I don’t want to take a picture with him.”

The resort said the visitor had not broken any of the park’s rules and that it would not blacklist him, news app Red Star News reported.
