Coolest Transforming Optimus Prime Halloween Costume

After watching the movie I was inspired to build my very own transformers costume that can actually transform. It took several attempts and several weeks of collecting cardboard boxes, that I was able to put together a functional costume.

I modeled my costume from the old Optimus prime. I used cardboard of all shapes and thickness for the different parts of the costume… Lots and lots of hot glue… Plaster of Paris, paper towel rolls, Old pair of ski gloves, and cans of black blue silver and red paint. I used Styrofoam for cushion and space fillers inside the costume and some light wood for support.

I guess you can say this costume is made mostly of recycled material… haha a green costume.

Anyway, it turned out great and got a lot of compliments especially when I transformed into the truck and back. Here’s a video where you’ll see the building process and the actually transform from robot to truck check it…
