Changeable Transformers Costumes Showing Up at Sam's Club

I'd laugh - but look how grown adults dress up at those "comic-con" gatherings! These should be fine for kids who are fans of the franchise, and not yet old enough to realize how cheesy the costumes are. Ah, to live a life without shame...

Bow down to me in your prone position 10 times, loyal subjects, then I'll consider giving you a piece of cake! Or off with your head!

This is funny only for the people watching the dressed up guy "transforming" into the vehicle mode. Imagine all the dirt, gums & germs collected on the customes after a few "tranformations." Who would ask for/buy these customs for themselves to be abused that way?

Mine was actually the "Jumpstarter", but Shockwave would call the Snarl model equally illogical.

I see nothing but awesome in these new costumes, even the mask is better.

Of course they are better than that, but how is that an excuse? Yet they do get close, but miss. Worse than if they didn't try at all.

For example, why they have two chests. I understand why, but the second one doesn't even cover the first, making it look quite awkward.


would the Optimus look better with bent knees in truck mode?

get just the mask and a gorilla costume and you're halfway to an optimus primal costume too

First, it's probably not being worn right, it's held on with shoulder straps and can probably be adjusted to sit higher. Second, it's probably asking a lot for a kid to lug the whole thing around on their weak little bodies on Halloween so the printed truck cab on the body suit lets them take the transforming part off and still be the character.

Makes sense, but would optimus truck mode look better with knees bent?

If you can pull off the yoga pose. Unless you're a pretzel to make the bed totally flat, the legs and back can bend only so far. Would be really uncomfortable after a while too.

I could easily pull it off at age 14, everyone thought I was a freak when they saw how I could sit. Don't ask!

Well I think they're neat!
