Transformable Transformer, Halloween 2007, The One That Started it All

At the time, my Halloween costumes were usually store bought and relatively simple, although my first five Halloween costumes were homemade by my mother. When I thought of what I had been the year before, an army man consisting of camo patterned long sleeves and cargo pants, I wanted to be something better but nothing on the shelves were worth buying. Transformers had just come out the Summer before, and that's when it clicked for me. I didn't need to buy costumes, I was completely capable of making it (with the help of my dad). I didn't have the time nor any idea how to make it more complex, so I went with a simple shell design to keep it all together (even now I'm trying to think of how I could make it better).



Putting this together is simpler than it looks, to see how I did it, keep reading.
