Once the chest piece paint is dry, I hot glued the flashlights into place and used an extra amount of glue for reinforcement. I found an old 4x4 razor scooter in my garage and decided the wheels would make great tires for the side of the legs. You should be able to use an old Big Trike or broken kids toys to use as wheels. (I don't recommend taking them from a toy that's still being used as this might upset the previous owners) The face shield was cut then painted metalic to match the other parts of the costume. It's removable and held in place by 2 small pieces of velcro on the inside. I plan on purchasing a pair of blue tinted sun glasses to wear underneath as I've already got severe tunnel vision in this helmet and don't need to further reduce my line of sight. The joke was about how much smaller the Knightverse characters are than their Bayverse counterparts, but the fact that it’s scaled to the suit is interesting.

I then measured and cut out 16 equal slats, slight taller than the interior depth because I planned on slanting them. Carefully I glued each slat into place, visually trying to adjust them to the same angle slant.

The Center unit will present the biggest challenge as the concave center will need to be cut out with your best estimate then refitted for additional cuts. Remember don't over guess because you can always take off more, but you can't regrow once cut. Take your time on this fitting, it will pay off in the end. Thank you so much for posting this! I made my own Optimus costume based on yours, with a few adjustments for being a girl and having a different... torso shape. My work has a four night Halloween party type thing for little kids and I ended up wearing it four hours each night, mobbed by kids and several adults the entire time.
