You might have seen him on American Idol. Although he did not get far on the show, his outfit garnered plenty of attention. Of course I am talking about Drew Beaumier.
By breaking down a battery operated kids car, he has managed to create the ultimate Transformer suit, reports Daily Mail.
It took eight weeks of constant trial and error to piece it together using a second-hand Power Wheels car to form the body and spare parts as well as glue bought at WalMart.
Transformer fanatic Drew then ripped the children’s car apart leaving him with each separate section.
He then meticulously pieced the parts back together with hinges and glued it to a sports undergarment so he could wear it like a suit.
The robot costume comes complete with wheels attached to his arms and legs so he can fold down into a car and roll along.
Drew, 25, said: ‘I’ve always been a big Transformers fan ever since I was a tiny kid. I remember I was struggling for money, working a few rubbish bar jobs and then it hit me – make a Transformer costume and go and entertain all the tourists.
His street performances have already paid off the $300 he spent making his crazy creation after eager tourists began tipping him to have photos taken next to the real-life action hero.
