I suddenly want to turn my kitchen inside out and begin crafting a Megatron suit out of what I find after seeing the amazing work of Brooklyn RobotWorks. Brooklyn RobotWorks is run by Peter Kokis, an artist who creates amazing cosplay costumes using random objects.
From afar, the Transformers suits made by Brooklyn RobotWorks look like the real deal. Up close however, you can see that each suit is made using common items like doorstops and plastic bottles. Each suit weighs well over 100 pounds and is constructed using a ton of found objects. So far Kokis and Brooklyn RobotWorks have created an Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee and even a Terminator suit. You can check out Kokis' amazing cosplay creations here.
