I design my exoskeletons for movement:
I walked over 3 miles and did a thousand fighting poses this day
...over five hours in-character...
               My shadows make for some interesting shapes...

Brooklyn Optimus Prime
was made from the same stuff that we all have in our homes.
Performing here is 'Version 2'
His upgrade to 'Version 3' has been completed,
and he now has new tires,  feet,  lower legs,  & knees.
A lightweight (110 lbs.) & agile Version 4 is now also in use.

Some of V. 3 B-Prime's parts:
Construction time:   360 hours
Weight:  145 lbs.
I started with a tourist giftshop 'Brooklyn" license plate,  then...
coat hooks (2 types),  toothbrush holders (2 types),  sponge holders,
dish drain basin parts,  shin guards (not on my shins),  hair clip,  socks,
sport drink bottles,  lots of plumbing supplies,  baby's pacifier,  tooklkit boxes,
many closet pole & shelf mounts,  juice cans,  lots of cabinet hardware (knobs
& handles),  sunglass lenses,  auto mirrors,  smoke detector mounts,  3 belts,
kid's toy helmet (after 15 hrs. of detailing),  hair bands,  egg slicer,  bottle caps,
football chest protector,  ab exercise wheels,  fanny pack,  army boots,
hockey leg guards,  handtruck tires,  communicator toy,  punk gloves,  flanges,
...and lots and lots of plastic from:
trash cans,  buckets,  cleaning product containers,  storage containers & lids
(anything with an interesting shape or curve...)
plus,  a few hardware things that even I can't figure out!
This is my art.    Thanks for letting me share it!
