Meet The Man Who Built The Ultimate Real-Life Transformers Costume

Canadian Marc Derepentigny has been building costumes as far as he can remember, even dating back to his early childhood. It first started with cardboard and hot glue, eventually evolving into styrene plastic and Crazy Glue, which is what the robot is made of.

He estimates the time it took him to build the Ultimate Real-Life Transformers Costume at two years, with around two hours of work per day, and a total cost of about $ 2000. It could have taken him a little less time, but several aspects of the costume changed as Marc was working on it.
