Transformation is Possible With an Optimus Prime Halloween Costume

Perhaps your living room floor is covered in Transformers toys. Maybe your son’s sheets feature Optimus Prime and his lunchbox is emblazoned with an image of Megatron. Well, the Transformers sequel, Revenge of the Fallen, did come out this year. The movie, featuring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Peter Cullen, and Hugo Weaving was a huge hit. It even won a Teen Choice Award over the summer. So, when your child asks for an Optimus Prime Halloween costume, don’t be surprised. Just be glad he’s not begging for the fangs with fake blood and messy face paint.

The Optimus Prime Halloween costume is great because it comes in three different sizes and five different styles, so there really is something for everyone.

The Optimus Prime 3-D Child Costume looks very authentic as it has the bulk of a real Autobot, and the Transformer Optimus Prime Deluxe Child Costume includes a chest piece to add some extra pizzazz. Really though, your child will look great no matter what you choose. All costumes have long sleeves and long pants, so your child is less likely to get the post-Halloween sniffles. And all you need to buy is one accessory: gloves!

For less than ten dollars they wont break your budget, and they even have a metallic sheen to make them look more like the metal of a real Autobot.

Speaking of Autobots, the Transformers series has become so popular that everyone will recognize Optimus Prime. I’m a female who enjoys romantic comedies and even I know what he looks like. No one will ask the dreaded, “What are you?” if you wear this costume, and there certainly won’t be the ambiguous, “Is he Luke or Anakin Skywalker, a devil or a ghoul?” Optimus Prime’s fame will make your child glow as friends complement his costume and wish they had thought of it themselves.

Yes, Dad, I know you’re secretly wondering, “What if I want to be Optimus Prime myself? I don’t want to be that dad who goes takes my kid trick-or-treating in jeans and a sweatshirt!” Don’t worry. There’s an Optimus Prime Halloween costume made for adults too. It comes with a mask and sculpted chest piece in one standard size (42-46), which will fit your average adult. And if you’re not average, give it a shot anyways. You will still look awesome and jumpsuits are pretty forgiving. Complete the look with gloves and you’re good to go! Happy transforming!
