Tyrese Gibson shows off a huge estate in Georgia - with real transformers!

Tyrese Gibson admits that little kids always ask him if he really has several giant transformer robots in his house in Georgia. And it's true. The robots are scattered throughout the 25,000-square-foot estate that Gibson shares with his wife Samantha. (They got married in this house last year on Valentine's Day, just a few weeks after moving in.)

Not only is the mini-Optimus Prime located in the home office on the first floor, but the big Optimus also has his own hidden shelter in the yard near the pool, and a huge copy of Bumblebee greets visitors in the foyer. The smaller robot stands 3 and a half feet tall, while the two taller robots are 11 feet high and made of auto parts, metal, and steel, says Tyrese. Therefore, they are very heavy. "It's a way to stay connected to my childhood dreams," says 39-year-old actor and musician Tyrese Gibson to PEOPLE magazine in this issue.

During the tour of the seven bedrooms and nine and a half bathrooms of the house, Tyrese highlights his personal recording studio, equipped with a sound booth and velvet walls, as well as a luxurious bedroom and a cozy family room. Tyrese, originally from Los Angeles, describes the design process as "easy and simple." According to Samantha, his 29-year-old wife, "he decorated it himself and worked with others to bring his vision to life the way he wants to attract into his life."

There is a place for work - Samantha, a social worker from New Jersey, helps manage the Tyrese Love Circle Foundation - and for relaxation, with a couch perfect for watching the shows "Catfish" and "Fix My Life." There is also space for their growing family, as Samantha is expecting their first child, a girl, in September. "For me, it's just 25,000 square feet," says Tyrese. "Six floors is a lot, but when you actually walk inside, it doesn't feel that way. Moving through the house from room to room, it has a warm and very cozy atmosphere."
