Awesome DIY Cyborg Costume – Locutus of Borg ( MODDED v6.0 )

Hello, My name is Kenny, and I’ve always been a huge fan of technology! I’ve always been good with wires. I have thousands of random wires I’ve collected throughout the years which definitely came in quite handy with this cyborg costume.

Star Trek The Next Generation movie series has a race of cybernetic organisms call Borg. They assimilate  humans or other species into their collective to make them into Borg. Although the Borg would be my inspiration, I wanted to create a similar idea of how they look in the movies, but yet create my own original, and one of a kind cyborg costume design that is different and unique.

I’ve spent well over 300 hours, and over a thousand dollars on this cyborg costume. I have hot glue burns, solder burns, razor cuts, drill bit cuts, and super glue still on my fingers. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

One of my favorite features in this cyborg costume (besides the laser:P), is that It has a built in drink holster in the crotch area with a straw that comes up through the mask so I can enjoy a cocktail with hands free! I also made a little door hatch that allows you to go to the bathroom without having to take the whole costume off!
