I will preface this, that while these costumes are pretty to look at, they are uncomfortable. The range of motion is limited. For joints that require mobility, I'd likely look into the tubing that dryers use to push out moisture that is flexible. It's not ideal, but will help to make the transitions between joints more flexible and hide what's inside. Kinda like old school robot costumes.Scavengers is the only excavator Transformer I can think of that fits that the bill. I'd use the neon green Gen 1 version. Design the tracks so the top half of the track is the thigh, the bottom half is the shin. He balls up on the ground so they meet up and look like a full set. Build up the shoulders a bit so he can tuck in his head like a turtle, and have his arms tucked to the side and the crane is fi…

Hope this helps and good luck!

Some of it was cardboard from Home Depot You can see the logo in most of the pics. Some was just boxes I had around the house. White house paint, blue spray paint from the hardware store, etc...

Nope, sorry. I hand painted all those details off the toy.

Awesome! I love the homage to Guardians of the Galaxy.

It would literally be thousands of steps. Transformer costumes are a special breed of crazy. It's like documenting every step to build a house. You'll be hard pressed to find any Transformer costume that has that much detail on how to construct it. Plus, we want who ever makes it to put their own spin on it.

I would say it's a challenging project especially since it's variable based on body type and measurements. I finished mine in 30 days, but those were some long days. Starting the project is probably the most difficult. Once all the things start coming together, it moves quickly. Hope that helps.

Here is the tape file. The measurements of it would depend on your own measurements.

This should be it.

They had a strap on the top part that on the other end had velcro so that I could thread it around a belt on my waist. I hope that helps you out.

I just measured off myself and visually tried to make it to scale. No template as far as I know.
