Halloween is upon us in full swing, with the perfect excuse to dress up as our favorite characters or creatures. They can be simple costumes or complex. But if you really want the ultimate challenge, why not try a robot? Better yet, how about crafting a life sized robot? A two-man team recently showcased their latest inspiration from the series Ghost in the Shell, with the robot character Tachikoma.
Meet Tachikoma:

Based in Kansai, Japan, cosplayers Heinz and Moetetsu specialize in making some pretty cool robots and armor-intensive cosplays. Aside from Tachikoma, the other robot inspired creations include Metal Gear and Armored Core.
The cosplay duo, called CosTeam5, got to show off the blue character in Osaka at the Super Robocos Expo, an all-robot cosplay gathering:
動いてます!!タチコマが動いてますよ!!
中にはしっかり制作者さんが入っており、「タチコマのコスプレ」ということですが……
コスプレもここまで来ると、「着る」ではなく「乗る」ですね〜♫#スーパーロボコス大展#superrobocosexpo pic.twitter.com/CHByX0wEZp

But wait, it’s a cosplay? A full scale cosplay robot? Yup! That means a person can control the robot from inside, just as one would for a Gundam, for example.

It will be very interesting to see what CosTeam5 comes up with next. What do you think? Would you like to see what it would be like to control these cool cosplay robots like you would see in the games or animes?
