Make Your Own Optimus Prime With Cardboard - DIY Costume Squad

[@kingdareth09]

Other than the feet being too big this is basically the PERFECT cardboard Optimus Prime costume. Trying to make Wheeljack so I’m taking notes from this video

[@Deby_Bumblebee]

Go ahead You can do it with effort! I'm gonna try making this Optimus Prime (But modifying a bit the feet)

[@hollyfrostdraws4227]

yess!! I wanna make a blaster cosplay but don't know how so I came to this video!

[@thandolihlethabethe3655]

Vhbnjjb

[@Taelonator]

I'm guessing you like wheeljack😂

[@ellenpalmer04]

My son and I want to thank you! We used your design and created him this costume this spring break 2021! Wonderful week!

[@loganschroder6698]

no one's even talking about how cool this is.

[@Jixedon]

Yeah

[@naheedkhan2533]

I love maskot costume

[@realpeter1052]

this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen,just some dork strapping boxes and toy helmets to himself

[@braylin5003]

Also, this is a affordable, "easy" to do costume, that normally would cost at least one hundred to buy online.

[@spycheesy]

@@realpeter1052you sound jealous really badly since you don’t have basic skills to make them

[@jackofspades3845]

My version has a slightly protruding chest with a matrix port, which I don’t have a matrix for

[@Taelonator]

You should make one and use lights inside of blue divider paper and make your own handles and spray paint silver then make orange/gold spike things

[@alyssamariemusic23]

I have done various cardboard crafts in the past, and recently watched the Transformers series. I instantly went to KZbin to see what I could find and this popped up. I am currently making the Optimus Prime costume. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@fatwolf]

My 8 year old self is screaming with joy. Not to mention my 43 year old is as well. This costume is awesome!!!!

[@Budderguy007]

Your technique for adding the logo is called monoprinting!

[@thesupertransformer1]

I'm guessing this would more or less be the same for any other transformers build. As I would really love to do G1 Starscream one day

[@ThatGuyEdGuy]

My dude, transformers are LIFE! The costume looks great!

[@bigmounchi]

[@chrishunt6977]

Hey Costume Squad!!!! I'm currently working on building this AMAZING Optimus Prime for Kokomo-Con 2017. ( Kokomo is in Indiana, small town, but it's still pretty awesome!) I'm having some trouble figuring out exactly how you keep your feet in the legs?? Did you glue shoes down and just put your feet in that way?? Glue socks to the cardboard and make it easier to put them on and keep them on?? Right now I have a hole cut in the front that leads to the "toes," and it keeps it on a little bit, but the back seems to hang down, like it's uneven. Can you help a nerd out here and tell me how you guys did it so I can do it too? :D

[@Azaaniaaa]

Dang man. 3 years and they still haven’t responded. What did you end up doing for the legs?

Very impressive work. Did you use anything to reinforce the points where the zip ties connect costume pieces? I built a Mach-5 and found that reinforcing around the holes with duct tape prevents the zip tie from ripping out. Would love to see you guys pull off a classic Lion Voltron. Again, you guys do very impressive and outstanding work Best of all, you didn t have to spend a lot of money to make a really great cosplay.
