The night of All Hallows' Eve is swiftly approaching. We're sure that, by now, you've got a rough outline of what pop culture icon you'll attempt to disguise yourself as. We're also sure that it's not one-tenth as awesome nor as intricate as the Covenant Elite (of Halo fame) costume recently created by YouTube user petemander1. That is, unless your Optimus Prime costume has animatronic, remote-controlled eyes and mandibles. No? It doesn't? That's what we thought.
Check out the two videos posted after the jump to get an early look at Pete's humbling (and slightly terrifying) creation. We'd say we can't wait to see how the full costume turns out, but we've already got plenty of subjects on which to base our nightmares.

Baby the last dinosaur. I never understood why the elite have mouths that appear to be useless for eating. How to do they have any strength in their jaws? How do they eat? WHY do I care?

Wow, that's awesome. Someone has a lot of time on their hands though.

How the hell is he gonna wear that with acceptable vision capability? You know, that probably doesn't matter, as people as well as walls will just part themselves as he approaches.

Well, he obviously has no issues pulling apart something he'll never use again, right?

I'm going to guess he's somewhere in Vancouver working for an FX studio there. Lots of television filming up around there.

He is Canadian, and that is one hell of a costume. Hope he throws up video when it's done.

I like when people say this person has a lot of time on there hands. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I'm sure instead he could be doing something better with his time such as playing video games and watching TV right?
OBVIOUSLY the guy has a job in animatronics and studio quality effects. So it in the end I think this guy likes what he does.
