Most bad ass Halloween costume: Mecha walker

It took redditor This_comment_has about 250 hours and well over $1000 worth of "aircraft aluminum and other parts," to build this super-awesome robot costume:

Sheet metal, aircraft aluminum, and other parts: $600.
Rivets, bolts, hardware: $250.
Tool purchases/rentals: $200.
Spraypaint: $90.
Truck rental to carry costume: $210.
Hours: 250+.
Looking like you could take down a tank: priceless.
