This striking cosplay costume creatively combines the hit children's show My Little Pony with the sci-fi [Transformers film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robosen-soundwave) to create an out-of-this-world transformer pony suit.

[Reddit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wplace) user 'RoustanBodypaint' cleverly juxtaposed two seemingly different pop culture classics to create a super-cool cosplay costume. The costume takes the equestrian shape and colors from the animated [My Little Pony series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-little-pony-friendship) and amps them up with a Transformer's robotic aesthetic. The costume is comprised of several components including detailed layers of blue and gray body paint to replicate the Transformer armor. The costume features pink crystallized boots, enormous rosy wings and a blue unicorn horn. This elaborate outfit took over 12 hours to create.
