Transformers Halloween Costumes

Long before the Transformers series became a giant pyrotechnics display popularized by Michael Bay; this unique tale about two clashing teams of robots was an action-packed adventure that involved more than computer generated effects—in fact, it started off as a toy-line and eventually a celebrated cartoon series by kids born in the 1980’s.

When someone says Transformers, you might automatically think of Megan Fox first, an awkward teenager whose family name you can’t pronounce, and finally, a whole line of luxury cars last; however, the real Transformers was a tale that centered on the Autobots and Decepticons of the planet Cybertron. The Autobots’ struggle to retain peace and balance in their realm and the Decepticons’ persistence to corrupt every bit of technology on Cybertron led to the great battle between the two factions; the war that started on Cybertron eventually spread to the peaceful planet Earth.

In Transformers, we meet powerful robots who can transform into various devices at their will. The main protagonist, Optimus Prime, transforms into a red truck while his arch nemesis, Megatron, transforms into an enormous blaster. The rest of the Transformers Autobots and Decepticons transform into planes, luxury cars, motorcycles, and to even larger robots.

If you were, and still, a fan of the Transformers series, you might have considered coming to costume-themed parties in your full Autobots attire but like a few robot suits, the Transformers’ costumes are difficult to find.

Not all Transformer costumes fit perfectly on kids, teens, adults and even plus sizes which is why you rarely find Optimus Prime or Megatron in parties. Fortunately, the best Transformer costumes have been posted right here so you won’t have to look elsewhere. All costumes posted here are officially licensed product so you will look exactly like the genuine Autobot or Decepticon.

In Transformers, we meet two groups of robots which are constantly in a robot to robot battle. The leader of the Autobots is known as Optimus Prime and the main antagonist of the series is Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. Aside from being two brave superheroes to look up to, they are also good costume choices for Halloween and other events.

Optimus Prime

Transformers Optimus Prime Super Deluxe Costume

The leader of the “good” band of robots is Optimus Prime. In the cartoon series, he is often portrayed as a giant red truck, but his overall appearance was revamped a little for the 2008 movie release. If you enjoyed the cartoon series more than Michael Bay’s movie version, the original Optimus Prime Super Deluxe costume would make a perfect fit.

However, if you find Optimus Prime’s new look sleeker and tougher, the Optimus Prime Movie Deluxe costume should be your pick.

Bumblebee

This yellow, non-talking guy might not be as huge as Optimus Prime and Megatron but what he lacks in height and size, he makes up with his heart. Bumblebee has been a favorite cartoon character since the Transformers were first released as a cartoon series. Originally a bumblebee car, Michael Bay gave him a new look when transforming into his automobile form: a yellow-and-blacked striped 2011 Chevrolet Camaro.

Although Bumblebee is originally a male character in both the cartoon series and the movie, a female Bumblebee costume is available for every female Transformers fan.

Megatron

Transformers Megatron Costume

Last but not the least is every Transformer fan’s most hated Decepticon: Megatron. His slyness and can-do attitude has made him a favorite and the same time, the most-hated villain in cartoons and in movies. If you enjoyed Megatron’s sarcasm and cruel demeanor towards the other robots, the Megatron Movie Costume is the suit for you.
