RBS' Cosplay Closet - Aliens Caterpillar P-5000 Power Loader costume - for a baby!

An iconic moment in sci-fi cinema history is when Ellen Ripley straps into the Caterpillar P-5000 Power Loader and takes on the alien queen in the 1986 hit Aliens. Taking film and making it a reality, Carsten Riewe has created an amazing Caterpillar P-5000 Power Loader cosplay that will truly put you in awe. The real best part however is when you see who is strapped into the driver's seat! It is his 13 month old daughter! That's right. Not only did this father make an iconic sci-fi moment come to life but he did it for his baby daughter. 

"This Baby costume was inspired by the Caterpillar P5000 Powerloader from the movie "Aliens" by James Cameron. The arms and legs are full moveable and the top-light and LED were powered by an 12 Volt battery pack stored in the backpack. The on/off switch is in the left arm. Also in the backpack a Bluetooth boombox ist installed to play mechanical robot sound fx or music if preferred. It took 100 working hours to finnish the costume and I built it for the "Karneval"-Parade in my hometown in Germany February 2014 . My 13 months old daughter enjoyed to be carried and moved in her harnness savely."

Fully functioning and mobile, with LED lights and bluetooth boombox? This right here is cosplaying and parenting done correctly!
