I knew I'd do something like this.

So you know what I forgot to put on my stupid Galvatron costume?

A DECEPTICON SYMBOL, THAT'S WHAT.

*screams into pillow*

I'll just have to draw it on with a paint pen when I get there, I guess. ...dammit, now I need a paint pen. *adds it to List*

Can that be picked up at a Michael's or Jo-anne Fabrics store?

[raisedbymoogles]

Yeah, it can. And there's a Michael's nearby, so. I'm just sulking that I missed that detail.

[rosieknight]

*grins* I was going to offer to get you one if you'd already packed your costume.

[raisedbymoogles]

Already packed and sent to Poptart so she can drive it down, yeah. XD No way in heck I was dragging that thing on the plane.

*pet-pet*

Galvatron needs no Decepticon Symbol!

GALVATRON IS A DECEPTICON SYMBOL!!!!

*smirk*

Or so he tells himself.

....well, true. *giggles* *curls up in your lap*

[poptartodoom]

Seems how the costume is here, I could paint it on for you.

[raisedbymoogles]

Only if it won't send Michelle into another spaz fit.

(Also, I dreamed I went to your house on a yellow motorcycle. I don't know either.)

I feel like these are details which denote "nerd" in fine print. :P

Ultranerdy would be having G1 Galvatron toy stickers blown up to Moogle-size, cut out of shiny sticky paper, and then stuck on the appropriate places. :)

[raisedbymoogles]

.....can you do that?

[the_s_guy]

I don't see why not. There's all kinds of sticker material out there, including silver, and many places will do custom stickers.

If you're going for a toyetic look, however, watch out for people "checking for sound and light action". ;) Although having a Rodimus cosplayer make the costume light up could be pretty hilarious.

(Dang. Now I'm thinking about how to rig a stage-magic effect so you could give the appearance of taking a giant 9V battery out of your torso. :P )

Hmm, and non-partsforming transformation should be workable too...

I shall tell you a story that may make you feel better! At the recent paint-yourself-interesting-colours event, my character concept was basically Fireflight, and I was tailing along with chaosdeathfish, who was the older character with an actual goal in mind. A good portion of his character concept has been built around a big piece of obsidian that he carries around and refers to as our brother. In fact, a lot of the other stuff he's doing grew out of that image.

Guess what prop he forgot to bring? :D

In reference to the toy stickers idea above - I should think it would be possible to vector trace all the stickers, blow them up, and print them out. I don't know about printing on sticker paper, but you could certainly do it on shiny paper and use glue...

[raisedbymoogles]

*giggles and does feel better!*

I could do the vector tracing, but I shudder to think what Kinko's might charge for something that big. XD
