Oh i finished it! Ill try to get some pictures up. I have some pictures of it after it was painted, but i still had to cut pieces of the arms/front fenders off before i went out for the night. The pictures of it in robot mode can be seen pretty well, but the pictures of vehicle mode are not that great. The wheels did actually roll, like i wanted, but what i didnt take into account was how my arms and legs kept separating as i was rolling. That is something ill have to look into fixing for next year. Heres a couple pictures... Now, this is about 90% finished product of what i went out halloween night with. The changes i made were that i shaved off the front part of the arms that curled in, shaved some of the bottoms of them for ground clearance, and i was wearing all black , with a black beanie under all that metal. If i had more time it would have been way better, but i guess ill have to wait till next year to add the lights, voice amp, and bottle rockets out of the fog light holes, haha.

The pictures i have of me ACTUALLY in the suit while it is in vehicle mode are horrible, but i just took one of how it looks in vehicle mode with light, but i am not in it. If you all REALLY are DYING to see me in vehicle mode, ill post it, but it looks way too crooked. I need to also work on the vehicle mode more for next year.
All in all, it was still a good experience and everyone loved it. It did weigh in the area of 50 or 60 lbs, but it really wasnt that hard to move in since the weight was distributed relatively equally through my body. I re-learned how to weld, too. The majority of the costume was done at my parents house from Oct 28 to the very morning of Oct 31st, then i came back up to chico, drank too much whiskey, tried to transform, and broke part of the welds that held the spoiler on, and the weld that held the fender parts of the right leg on, but i had fun!

How many people did you cut and give tetanus? lol
I was Wolverine and made a set of claws out of wire and duct tape and accidentally cut a girl dressed like Chun Li. She wasn't happy. She pointed the cut out to me last week lol.
