Welcome to TCos, the internet's most comprehensive resource for everything about robot cosplay. We are a dedicated community focused on building the best costumes ever to grace the fandom. We dig helping, we dig learning, but most of all, we dig giant robots!

(But mostly, it's a party in here.)

TCos Wants to Move!

Want to help TCos get its own forum, complete with image galleries, wiki, articles, info databases, and more? Then we need your help!

So the $100 goal has so far been met-- but I'll be leaving the donation link up until the move because as far as hosting goes, you really can't have enough funds saved up for that sort of thing. Thanks to everyone who contributes!

For information about progress, check out this thread.

I've been to twelve conventions since my first in 2005, and have been to BotCon once, in 2011. I've been cosplaying since 2005, though it's only been within the last three years that I've turned my attention towards Transformers and mecha costumes. Right now, my main builds are Deckerd from Brave Police J-Decker, and Midnight Express from Robots in Disguise, though I do have plans to work on an Animated Megatron at some point in the near future. I've been a Transformers fan since around 1989, and look forward to sharing my work, and learning from others. -------------------- Fueled by coffee, rampant insomnia, insanity, and armed with a hot glue gun, with a nutbar in headspace.

Yuusha Geek Group: Members Posts: 132 Member No.: 364 Joined: 14-April 12	All I really have to do for that one to be at 100% completion is finish the jacket, make the cape, finish the bowtie, and make the fez. Firebird got to see a bit of a preview at BotCon last year.... When I had a quickly finished-in-the-hotel-room mini top hat, because, yet again, I had run out of time and was doing stuff at the last possible minute... -------------------- Fueled by coffee, rampant insomnia, insanity, and armed with a hot glue gun, with a nutbar in headspace.

Yuusha Geek Group: Members Posts: 132 Member No.: 364 Joined: 14-April 12	I spent most of BotCon running around in a homemade corset as well... so odds are, we prolly crossed paths, without even realizing it.... The corset: (long since dismantled, since it got autographed and was starting to look a bit worn-down in places... But it was my first one, and it survived the con and the trip back, so I'm not complaining.) -------------------- Fueled by coffee, rampant insomnia, insanity, and armed with a hot glue gun, with a nutbar in headspace.

Yuusha Geek Group: Members Posts: 132 Member No.: 364 Joined: 14-April 12	Next TF-themed corset I'm making, I'm going to be adding a bit of "land" to the top.... Trying to decide whether to go with a Jazz-themed corset, a Prowl-themed one, a Bluestreak-themed one, or possibly even a Shockwave-themed one.... If I do Prowl or Bluestreak, I'll also need to add doorwings to the back.... but I've got an idea on how I'll attach the "land".... Once you make and wear a corset yourself, it's hard to stop planning out new ideas... >.>;; -------------------- Fueled by coffee, rampant insomnia, insanity, and armed with a hot glue gun, with a nutbar in headspace.

Yuusha Geek Group: Members Posts: 132 Member No.: 364 Joined: 14-April 12	I've had some of the costumes on my "Dream Cosplays" list there since about 2008.... And it's only been in the last year that I realized that they could be more than just dreams.... Just go for it....
