Optimus Prime Costume Is Sadly Questionable


From geekology, We've certainly seen our fair share of Optimus Prime here at Geekologie. We've seen cakes of him in truck form and Transformer form, a sick Optimus computer case, along with a whole bunch of other Transformer costumes. And here comes another. These are screenshots from a video of a guy who made a 10-foot tall Optimus Prime "costume". I put costume in quotations because, while he does stand inside the thing, his limited mobility makes it more of a "wearable statue". I do think it's great looking though. If "great looking" means Optimus Prime is out of proportion and standing immobile in a driveway while kids gawk at him. But still, I've got to hand it to the guy, I could never do anything like that. But it's because I've got better things to do and I don't wear fucking suspenders. Fine, it's because I don't have any friends to help me put the suit on.

A 3:00 video of the guy putting the suit on here. You see him trying his best to 'roll out' at the end.

Wearable statue indeed. Why even bother getting inside that thing?
