War Machine Costume Sets Bar High

Is this the finest War Machine costume ever made?

I wouldn't like to be a cosplayer right now, not having seen this amazing War Machine costume created by cosplayer Anthony Le. The armor is made of high-impact urethane and features a working flip-up visor, light-up repulsors, eyes and chest plate, and a shoulder mounted cannon that can fire bottle rockets.

Le is currently working on a new version of the armor, with wrist mounted machine guns to round out his arsenal, and while he still has a lot of work to do on it, it's still probably the best looking costume I've ever seen.

With Iron Man 2 just around the corner, there's likely to be a lot of people building War machine costumes, but I'd be very surprised if anyone makes one better than this. You can see more pictures of the costume here [http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2010/01/home-made-war-machine-costume-melts-panties]

It's times like this that I really want to get into cosplay properly, or prop-making. I mean until we can actually make functional exo-suits, then I'll be glad of my mechatronics degree.

Damn robot suits are so freaking awesome. good job sir.

 

[Eatbrainz]

It's still not as cool as Tron Guy.

 

[BonerMacTittyPants]

I've seen better.

 

[Sparrow]

Holy. Crap.

 

[Orange Monkey]

Machine guns in the hands of cosplayers seem to be a bad idea, it's already in his name! In maltese Le means NO!

ANTHONY NO! Don't shoot the rockets at the nice people!

 

[Baby Tea]

I've seen better.

Lies.

This is freaking awesome.
Really, I'd just want to run around shooting bottle rockets at people.
Just incredible, really. Hats off to the guy!

 

[The Lizard of Odd]

That is pretty f'n sweet. Makes me wish I had that kind of money and workshop. Really bad. -_-

 

[ImprovizoR]

You know I would say "what a dork" but that would be jealousy talking. This is just way to awesome.

 

[Batfred]

I thought it was a production still. So, awesome! Very cool.

My thoughts exactly.

I wonder if he is a recluse that knoweth not the touch of woman.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

That's pretty awesome. The arms and legs look a bit weird and blocky though.

 

[Erana]

War machine was always cooler than Iron man.
This also makes it official that War machine makes a cooler cosplay choice than Iron man.
