Hey! Email me the details, I'm super interested. This would save me a ton of time. If you get a prototype done and can post pics and it looks good, im in.

Nearing the end! - Well of the basic build. I'm having a hell of a time making nice tires out of foam so I'm just going to 3-D print them. I've installed lights into the big gun and into the eyes. I'm not super happy with the blue plastic I put in the eyes, so I will redo them at some point.

Tons of work accomplished in the last two weeks. Here is the near finished product...probably at 90%. I have to fix the thigh pieces which ride too far forward and slant down, but aside from that, the rest of the costume works really good and the improved helmet makes it look way better! - -...

I wasn't super happy with the eyes- in fact I thought they looked pretty silly, so I went back and redid parts of the face with more details, care and bondo.....and the result was pretty good. Not only can I see out of the mask really really good, it looks way better and much more G1.

Whoops. I started the real one on another thread. :-)

2 Issues as I go forward I need to fix. 1. The Thigh Pieces need to be connected to knee pads or something, so they ride with my legs as I walk. Just having them sit on the boots was a nice idea, but they twist and it looks like crap. 2. I still am not super happy with the eyes. They look...

Big Update! Extending the arms was a super smart choice! Without wearing the legs it looks pretty silly . Kind look like Donkey Kong, eh? - - - Updated - - - However, adding the stilt legs (and I'm not done the boots yet), make it look totally proportional. The only issue is that I'm going...

Not much progress in pics. It's be super cold and I've been busy. I'm nearly done detailing the main body chassis, I've bonded one of the extended arms and I've painted (two coats) the Prime Hands. The hands actually look really good, of course, not 3-D printed good, but not bad. :-) They...

Goal for the gun is: My Gun: Paint Draft without Detailing and the doooodad at the bottom: Not bad? I think so. Could have gone slower I guess!

Pictures of the Rifle should be up tomorrow. I've finished extending the arms- but again, they look pretty rough just as foam...so once they are bondo'd and sanded I'll snap a few shots. The Rifle turned out really good- not 3-D print good but really good.

Also, I'm extending the arms and building the rifle right now- so I won't be putting new pics up for a week at least. It's also so cold in Canada right now that's it a pain to spray paint, so I'm waiting on that. The rifle looks really good, but I don't want to put pics up until it's dremelled...

It's added! Sorry! I threw the rifle pdo in there, I'm building it from scale, so I don't have the cut out one. If I find a better file, I'll upload it. Also, my plan is to make a Transformer Costume for each of my family members- Soundwave, Bumblebee and Megatron (all G1), so I'll upload...

Update: I've done the eyes, but I'm not super happy with them. Re-checking the G1 cartoon, OP eyes are actually a diamond shape, so I'm going to redo them. I used a metallic car spray for the body and, man does it make a difference. It makes the foam take on a metal shine. Thanks to randoms...

Boom. Got the acrylic Glass installed as the Windows in the chest piece, and some extra detailing.

Pro tip, I found cheap acrylic panels for the chest (windows) and the eyes at Lowes. I think I'll cut them on the big side and then attach them with velco so I can take them out easily, instead of making them permanent.
