That's a seriously awesome costume, even if it can't transform! :D Hats off to you, Seishinkibou!

very impressive indeed!!
Is the chick hot?
oh yeah nice costume too hehe
Really well done.
I'm planning a TF cosplay myself and I would like to know how she made it.
Looks really well planned and fitted. Thats a real good talent! She hasn't posted for months now in the board though :(
lol Soundwave stole the show!
Where was that? It was clearly Australia...
SeishinKibou lives in Queensland so I assume it was somewhere there... Brisbane perhaps?
i want to beat the guy with the microphone up, its some kinda nerd fest
Every fanboys dream are those girls :D
TF customs are really hard to come by, cool stuff there, very life like! memorable! give us more of such stuff in the future! :)
guh, not a fan..
Ever tried doing TF cosplay outside of a nerd event like a convention?! I have! I went out dining with friends once wearing a Megatron costume - I copped weird/dirty stares and verbal abuse from some stoner during a bus ride... (-_-) I also took the train from the Olympic Park Sprint platform at Lidcombe to Olympic Park for Supanova in my Ratchet costume - copped abuse from some guys on the train before mine.Quote:

I actually did get shoved by some random guy in my Ratchet costume at Animania once - much to his surprise I actually gave chase... and caught him! ;) He wasn't so tough after that. :p
And you're really surprised?Quote:

You're asking for a bagging. Especially when you're heading out for a meal on a Saturday night when people are about and already getting tipsy.
Not surprised, but just pointing out to roller that there's a reason why people don't do full cosplay in public outside of nerd events. It was a response to roller's comment "it's some kinda nerd fest" and my reply was basically to say, "well duh!" - where else can you get away with doing TF cosplay in public? (conventions do count as public events) :p
I proudly flaunt my love for TFs in public and I don't care what others think. As I've mentioned on other threads, I regularly go out in public wearing TF clothes and carrying TF toys in my hands. Henkei Lambor accompanied me yesterday when my wife and I went grocery shopping. ;)
I did wear my Optimus Prime voice changer helmet to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras earlier this year and I mostly got cheers, kudos, hugs, high fives and several people posed with me for photos. :)

I also wore it to school on Halloween - the year 10s were doing a Halloween costume thing for fund-raising for their formal. Several kids posed with me for photos. :p
And of course, there's roller... ;)

Anyway, I'm sure most of you have seen these, but here are pics of my previous TF cosplays...
Megatron

That's the one I wore on the bus. And yes I know... it's crap. :p

:D Transfan Pride FTW!! :D
Yep, that was at Gencon in Brisbane during the start of July. (SK is a RL friend of mine) I still can't get over how awesome that costume is, so much cooler seeing it in person!Quote:

And now you understand why Megatron is so angry all the time. Everyone picks on him when he rides the bus. His anger at this led to him forming the Decepticons and trying to take over the universe.Quote:

If IDW offers me a writing job I'll take it. Will work for toys. :D
Well you know what they say... You pay peanuts, you get monkeys... You pay toys, you get... kids?Quote:

(besides in my bra!) i've only met one cosplayer up here and that club is now dead and burried.
GOKIIIIIIIIT... i see you too like the 'one box, and feet in tissue box' effect. at least you can pee!
I'm scared to cosplay now!
Weird dirty stares.... hmmm Are you sure you didnt follow Megsy's "look" to a tee? Coz you know even he is asking himself... "The trigger is in my crotch!? Why are the humans playing with my crotch?!?" hence the dirty stares heheheheh:DQuote:

Yeah, she's currently off gallivanting around the world. Well, California to be precise, went over for SDCC. Dressed as Blackarachnia and met Cree Summer. Come to think of it, she should be getting home any day now.Quote:

Hey Yuki, keep it coming:). Can you put up what materials you use and the like, I see you use butcher paper to draw your templates, Do you pin this in place and just cut along the line?
I wonder if you could get the face mask to move like it does on the cartoon :p
Very cool looking dude!
Indeed, some awesome looking beginnings for sure! :cool:

Materials are 'what ever works for this bit' as you may know, Prototype Sunny was mesh and yoga mat and flock, (chia pet) Sunny 2.0 is 2cm thick foam and felt with some yoga mat joins. Depthcharge is likely to havea mesh and yoga mat. each wing being 2m. 4m metalics each side. at up to $16 per metre... just the wings. i will most likely seek out pvc pipe for the arms and general craft foam for the face. i'm thinking that the fish gun shoulda been a pvc pipe... but everyone like a plushi fish gun. i'm also tossing up doing a red transformer afterwards, but i like my headmasters and old sandstorm, cyclonus and my SIM2 thundercracker. he works at the florist....
Thanks for that, I keep meaning to go down to clark rubber to buy foam for the outfit I want to make, Just have to get motivated:D
Can I send my cosplays down to a tf group so they can get some pics at a tf fair with it? U know, depthcharge needs some fan kisses!
Most of us have our hands full carrying toys! :D ;)
Sunny in progress. Your thoughts....

Looks promising so far, good luck with the rest. :)Quote:
