I made this Optimus Prime costume in 20 hrs over 25 days out of cardboard, foam board, duct tape, hot glue, rubber and plastic – and lots and lots of spray paint! I put blood (literally), sweat, and a little tears into this project. Everyone thought I was crazy when I started but when it was complete everyone was so impressed.
I know what you’re thinking…. You’re over 21, you’re going to parties… How do you drink or move in this thing? I thought of everything. I even created a drinking straw that went through the sleeve of my shirt and attached to the inside of my mask. Every person who saw this costume for the first time was jaw-dropped! I have taken over 150 selfies with strangers in this costume. I worked very hard on it and am very proud of my accomplishment.

Awesome
By far the best costume I’ve ever seen handmade. To see it in a picture, although still very amazing, doesn’t do justice to the creativity and detail you see in person. This is a no brainier. By far the coolest costume you’ll see!
Awesome costume, great job!!!
