Coolest Homemade Optimus Prime Kids Costume

This is 8 year old Branson in his homemade Optimus Prime kids costume. We started printing all kinds of pictures of Optimus Prime. First we started with the sleeper and the cab. We rolled the cardboard so that the sleeper would be round. Then cut out the other pieces and hot glued them all together.

Next we went to work on the rear fenders and tires. We had cardboard that went around the leg and Velcroed into place. Then we made wheels out of cardboard and cut strips of carpet padding for the tires. We measure the tires and made cardboard fenders to fit around.

Next we started putting pieces of the hood together. We spray painted the base colors and then hand painted on the flames. We used cans for the gas tanks and water bottles for the air filters. We used pieces of material to hinge the front to the cab. And this is what we ended up with.
