That's right, Halloween is still 10 months away, but we've got a first look at Transformers Movie Optimus Prime Costume. Before you adult fans get your hopes up this looks to be made for children only. Thanks to CR5 for the image! Check out the image for details here.

Um, I really hope this isn't a picture taken for promotional reasons. The costume looks messed up on the kid and he's barefoot. Not a very good stock photo.
Though if it's not meant to be professional...
It looks kind of funny, but it does remind me of those kid costumes from the '80's. Good times, good times... Would go great with that voice changer helmet coming out, since this doesn't seem to have a mask for the face.

Looks like Optimus Presley. "I ain't nothing but a Robot... Rusting all the time..."

It's terrible. It's a throwback to the '80s all right -- the days when costumes were a cheap plastic mask and a nylon jump suit with something printed on it which may or may not remotely approximate the character you're supposed to be.
The printing on this poor little guy's cheap nylon looks vaguely like it might possibly be somewhat intentionally sort of remotely like Optimus Prime, only, not quite enough to be recognizeable to anybody, much less the other kids. I propose adding one simple thing: a cardboard sign on a string which says "I'm supposed to be Optimus Prime!"
I mean seriously. If you were 10 and you had to choose between Elvis Cricket Head here and the really spiffy Batman costumes they had out last year, what would you go with?

you know that costume wouldn't be bad, if it didn't have the crown mask, but use the voice changer helmet...
now if they made that in adult sizes!...just kidding!

Take a look at the "helmet", it loks like a new blue version of Swoop humping his head.

I feel bad for this kid. He's going to get beat up...a lot. Hell, I kind of want to beat him up. The stiff robot pose he's striking helps nothing. I'm so gonna get this kid's lunch money.

Someday when this kid is in his late teens and about to get laid, a 'friend' of his will dig this picture up and show the girl...and then he'll be alone, forever. He'll die cold and unloved, because this costume really does suck that much.
