Oh I know. I'm doing a ton of research before I go all full out on making either Ratchet (Prime) or Knockout (Prime) costumes. I am making a 'human'/holoform costume of Bumblebee for Youmacon. I have between 8-15 others that will be participating in this group. We're mostly taking our designs from G1 verse, so it shall be rather interesting to see what my group comes up with.

I like the idea, probably not something I'd get into due to the money needed.

Someone at American Idol last year auditioned in a transformers costume, it was great

Not quite an autobot costume but I did design and special order this recently, semi-costume, really a daily-wear version of a bumblebee costume hehe

No not me,I lack the talent to create one.

Also I'm 27 years old & stopped going trick & treating when I reached the age of 10.

Thats a poor attitude deathy :P I personally am not one that likes TF costumes whatsoever unless in the spirit of a good time theme such as a convention. It's just good fun.
But in the context of Halloween? It's all horror business and my business is about being scary. TF's have no place in the concept of Halloween. Plus, if you find yourself at a party, your gonna be the person walking around in a big boxy outfit taking up way to much space and not being scary at all.

Nice hoody though LadyBug! I also like the corset that trekvix sampled. I'm a fan of the corset.
