Fully Functioning DIY Iron Man Mark V Transforming Briefcase Suit

So, freakin' awesome. Made by Ryan Brooks, this cosplay suit is "unique in it's ability to transform from a briefcase into the fully detailed and fully functional suit of armour, this endeavor was inspired by the Iron Man 2 movie." The suit itself was contstructed with over 4000 LEGO Technic pieces and hundreds of pieces of hand-crafted armor.

Read on to watch a video and see production pictures of how this was all made.

But but but is Blacklash really gonna sit around waiting for him to get this thing on?

yeah, i kinda think he shouldve stuck with just wearing the suit around instead of having it "transform" but still.. pretty freakin impressive craftsmanship...

not exactly a briefcase, more like a pile of armor suit....still really cool though

And you win the prize for most time and money spent on a Halloween costume! It is extremely neat, and elaborate, but does it have any uses other than looking cool, lighting up and making whirring noises? I hope the suit is at least somewhat protective?

"Fully Functioning?" So it flies and shoots energy and stuff?
