This is a sweet-ass Halo Elite costume made by the black-t-shirt-loving guys at PeteManderGRX. I need that bike basket. Plus grill. The suit (which contains a human in its tummy) is like 8-feet tall and resembles a dinosaur in futuristic battle gear just enough for me to yell "DINO-RIDERS!" and tear my pants off. See you at ComicCon? (Meet me in the men's room)

Hit the jump for several close-ups and a five-minute video of the suit's construction.

Thanks to Vinny and PrestickNinja, who threatened to stab him with an energy sword if he didn't give them both piggyback rides to the liquor store.
