# Robotic Automated Costumes Real-Life Transformers Costume made by Marc De Repentigny By Ian Andrew Panganiban | Published 2013-05-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformers-costume References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/this-incredible-transformers-costume-totally-redeems-th-486433372) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=267G1uN5s1I) Cosplayers slave away weeks and even months in crafting the perfect costume to showcase at the [San Diego Comic-Con](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon); some costumes are either intricately designed or designed with sex appeal in mind, while others simply make your jaw drop. That's exactly the case with this Transformers costume. Created by Marc De Repentigny, the [automatized robot costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid) is hands-down the best Transformers costume out right now. The outfit boasts all the bells and whistles of an actual Transformer, except for changing into a vehicle -- that would be asking for too much. The robot costume features moving eyes that emit light, a thruster that emits steam at the back and a voice-controlled mouth piece. The Quebec-based costume designer will definitely be the most popular guy at any comic book convention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Robotic Costumes:** Opportunity for creating innovative costumes with automated features like moving eyes and voice control. - **Transformers-inspired Costumes:** Potential for designing costumes inspired by popular franchises like Transformers with unique features. - **Cosplay Technology:** Trend of integrating technology into cosplay to enhance costumes and create a more immersive experience. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for entertainment companies to develop and market high-tech costumes for comic book conventions and other events. - **Fashion Design:** Innovative designers could explore incorporating robotics and automation into high-end costume creation for cosplay enthusiasts. - **Consumer Electronics:** Potential for consumer electronics companies to create specialized gadgets and accessories that enhance the functionality of robotic costumes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Auto-Transforming Toy Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grimlock.md) - [Halloween-Ready Animatronic Line-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-animatronics.md) - [Highly Detailed Sci-Fi Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormtrooper-kit.md) - [Transforming Robot Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformers-the-ark.md) - [Transforming Robotic Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robosen-soundwave.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md) - [Interactive Fossil-Inspired Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-dinosaur-costume.md) - [Candy Collector Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md)
