Yep, my costume. When I sold it off to the comic shop I made a wooden frame body to allow it to be displayed.
I really love the movie designes and I ended up making quite few props and things for fun. Frenzy, all spark, megatron head and a full Optimus costume the year before bumblebee.
The whole thing is made out of cardboard and paper mache (helmet smooth parts) for the most part. Spray painted with a really nice krylon yellow/orange that matched the movie bb colour and then I hand painted the battle damage with a brush.
I entered into the local casino costume contest. It was pretty fun. Inside the door panels I had speakers so I could play bumblebee sounds from my mp3 player.
Lol, It was all pretty heavy by the end of the night.
Here’s a little closer shot of the head and chest while I was putting it together.
