@a-weeb-0139 here are some more details on how we store our cosplays once we make them. Not sure how large yours is, but in general, plastic bins are the best way to keep armor safe. Some parts might not fit, but it helps anyway.

Pics under the cut:

Here’s how I ( @tyrantofthefirmament​ )generally pack up Starscream. The wings and engine (which the wings attach to) don’t fit in bins, but when we bring him to cons they are simply carried on top. His helm can be in or out of a bin. I put it in for cons and have it on display when I’m at home, along with his blaster arm.

The bins are only about half full, but we can’t cram the parts in or they’d get damaged. The good news is they aren’t heavy. The bad news is they’re large and take up space in the house. Here’s how they’re packed:

As you can see, many parts nest inside each other, like the thighs, forearms, hands, and under-suit.

Here’s how his head can go in the box. It’s in 2 parts so it works.

KO ( @ask-dr-knockout​ ) and Soundwave ( @tfg1-minibot-lover​ ) both have larger and more fragile helms that we carry in their own boxes for safety. Say hi to Laserbeak! (he also gets to be carried out of a box, although he can fit inside if needed.

Starscream is the most boxable costume we have. KO and Soundwave both have much bigger, wider shoulders, and each of their upper torsos must be stored on a stand to keep them from getting damaged. Here is Soundwave. He’s currently in my living room, but normally he resides in a storage room. His giant arms also get packed separately, since no bin can fit them. They’re sandwiched in some thick foam and wrapped in a towel to keep them safe.

The bins can usually be stacked in a corner or the back of a closet. For a while I had my Starscream ones on the top of a loft bed that’s over my crafting table. I hope this helps give you some ideas, and you’re able to find a home for your Wasp when you’re not wearing him! We’d love to see pics if you have some!

This TFCon was a magical experience for me personally! Along with all of our costume group @consplay-superior! For many of them this was their very first TFCon! And our very first TFCon all together with the debut of our newest Costume Soundwave! What a great time it was!!!

But I have to say the highlight for me was meeting Daran in person finally! We both were so excited by this unique opportunity TFCon presented us. Daran had expressed interest in seeing the KO costune in person and of course, like any fan I wanted to meet him! Haha!

I have to say though, years ago when I first saw TF Prime and fell in love with the character Knockout I could not have imagined It would become a catalyst in introducing me to such a cool guy!

I never would have thought I become friends with such a talented and gracious man as Daran Norris!

But that's just how Daran is too I think, he draws you in with his talent and charm and you realise how truly genuine and gracious he is as just a down to earth good-hearted person.

He brought with him such class and kindness to TFCon this year! He even went as far as handling dinner reservations for our little crew and taking time out of his very busy schedule to see us on multiple occasions.

I witnessed how he interacted and showed his own appreciation to all his fans in the transformers community however small a part of his career it may be. He knows what impact he has and is humble.

I also know for a fact he honored all his commitments to the best of his abilities despite other important personal obligations.

He is a KnockOut all right, a one of a kind KnockOut personality!

Thank you Daran truly for all you do to change lives in positive ways! and especially for the amazing kind role model you are!

And personally,

I like to thank you for all the memories!~❤️

Some photos of my Eris Morn cosplay! Since she’s my quarantine cosplay, I haven’t been able to wear this at any cons yet, but we have had 2 photo shoots with her. Last Halloween we ( the members of  @consplay-superior ) did the ones with the red and green lighting at home to showcase our non-TF cosplays, and then last weekend the Tucson Cosplayers Network got to return to our go-to photo spot on Mt. Lemon with photographer @taophotoaz for some good outdoor pics.

I’m really proud of this cosplay since I sewed the tunic, cape, and skirt myself. I still have to finish all the beads and charms Eris wears in Shadowkeep.

Its been forever but here have a cosplay update! I offically have put 24 hours and 23 minutes into making my screamer cosplay between moving into my own pkacw, work and my family trying to die while I'm not there (my brothers fine but RIP Decepticon Ampora) Its all coming along really nicely with it being my first ever foam built costume. As always shout out to the @consplay-superior team for inspiring me to actually take this leap and the photos I use as ref when nothing else helps!!
