Finished My New G1 Optimus Prime Suit

[optimusaint]

its been a long time since ive posted on here, but ive been really busy. heres what ive been working on:

last year i took a road trip with the Saints to Houston. as you guys may remember, i wore the Mjolnir armor to the game. This year im going with the Saints to London, and ill probably be wearing the Mjolnir there as well since this Optimus Prime suit is too big to take overseas.

I also recently did an interview with Antigravity magazine about my costuming and Saints Superfan status. ill post links when that goes to print. In addition, MTV was in New Orleans this past weekend filming for a documentary about the Saints playing the Chargers in London, and they followed Saints players around town. They ended up visiting a nightclub that im a stage dancer at, and got footage of me dancing in the Optimus Prime suit, so that might end up on MTV.

im gonna come back and update this with photos from the magazine photoshoot as soon as they get emailed to me.

Personally, that is my favorite Optimus suit, it's more 'original' then what you see the others wear..

Even though I am a Pittsburgh fan, I can still say this.

That is one awesome G1 suit.

hey, its only a shade of gold away from being your team's colors. and besides, you might not have to root against the Saints until the superbowl (yes im dilusional, all saints fans are)

The new helm makes all the difference. Great job again! Now we just need a vid like the one of you in your gold Mk VI during a game.

thanks man, i knew the helmet would be a HUGE improvement. but make no mistake, the entire suit is 100% brand new. its now fiberglass, with PVC pipes for smokestacks, working lights, AND the chest opens.

oh yeah, and the third picture is a youtube video from the game.
