So! I never actually had time to sit down and just kinda type out a little review of what went down at AX this year when I went.
Unfortunately, i still don't really have any time so I'm just gonna kinda cut to the chase and get on with it. XD
Day 1
None of my friends cosplayed that day, neither did I. We didn't know the area and we were still Con-virgins at the time, so we just wanted to get familiar with the area before cosplaying and getting into the anime world and spirit. XDD It was still amazing though. All the people there were REALLY nice, the cosplays were amazing as well. My group met a Karkat that stayed in character the ENTIRE time. Unfortunately, we only saw him this one day. He was just awesome XD We also met up with an Optimus Prime that I totally spazzed about. He be in the pics that I uploaded of us together XD
Day 2
I wore the costume this day and it was AMAZING. It was hard as hell to walk in and I never want to go thru that again, but I am going to adjust the costume and remake the feet and shoulders in order for me to become more flexible in it and not almost die. SO many people took pics of me, parents asking me to take pics with their kids, and after maybe half the day of being in the costume, I met up with that Optimus Prime buddy and our adventure together was just EPIC. It was a total WIN, that day. It was absolutely amazing, all those people asking me for pics. I honestly didn't know that people would want pics of me. Some people didn't even know who I was when I was dressed up. Ohh! There was a girl in the line for registration that day ((one of my friends still had to get her badge, since she couldn't make it the first day)) and the only thing I was in was my all black-out suit and my helmet. All of my friends and I were carrying the rest of my costume until we got inside the actual convention center. This girl suddenly sees me and shouts out "Oh my gawd, Wheeljack! Wheeljack! I love you!" I bowed to her in thanks and that actually totally made my day. Also, met up with a Megatron and Starscream, and they were amazing cosplays. I really wish I saw them again and met up with them, but again, complications happened x.x However, everything was totally worth it.
Day 3
This was a very relaxing day. Since I didn't wear my Wheeljack costume again, I improvised and made another costume, a human one this time. So this day, I was human Wheeljack, still with the helmet and with the wings. It was pretty awesome, people still asked me for pics and everything, and it was mainly just a day where we were hanging out with alot of the other cosplayers and actually started going to events that they had. It was great, and actually a very relaxing day at the expo. I only regret not taking a pic with this AMAZING Captain America cosplayer that I saw at the end of the day. For reasons, I didn't, but hopefully I'll see him next year and then get a pic with him. By the way, to that Captain America cosplayer, I have a message: YOUR HAIR WAS PARTED ON THE WRONG SIDE TO BE STEVE.
Day 4
Not much happened this day. There were actually very few people still at the Expo when this day came around, but we still cosplayed and still associated with the cosplayers there. I was Iron Man this time, toy mask and Iron Man colours in my outfit. This day was kinda the way of telling up that AX was up and that we needed to get back to real life. It was great, either way.
So there's my quick, 10 minute review of my adventure XD
Now I have to get ready for work -__- Talk again, guys!
