WALWORTH â In the outskirts of the Village of Walworth, an enormous steel statue with an retro McDonaldâs Officer Big Mac head looms over acres of corn and soybean fields.
Its rusted steel frame sits roadside, giving a solitary salute to passersby and serving as a roughly 45-foot tall landmark for many.
The robot, or transformer as he calls it, was commissioned by Robert Stewart, a Village of Walworth resident and owner of Robert Stewart Excavating Inc. in Fontana.
Stewart, who had plenty of spare parts to work with from his ever-growing collection of Caterpillar equipment, said he had the idea to put the statue together after acquiring the former playground fixture depicting an Officer Big Mac head.
