A whole new look for your old motorbike.

Metal recycling has been happening for thousands of years, but it's never looked quite like this.

The Alien King, created by Irish company RoboSteel and standing 2.4 meters (almost 8 feet) high and weighing 450 kg (990 lbs), is one nasty sculpture.

The more than 4,000 steel parts used for construction first belonged to cars, boats, dishwashers, motorbikes, televisions and more. Three people worked a good three months to transform the scrap into this chilling sculpture.

You'll probably never look at your dishwasher the same way again.
