Cosplay Diaries

I: The Functional

Mid Summer. Von And Sieg arrived early at Kiefer's workshop. Apparently preparing for the convention today, the whole area is a mess, though there had been some efforts of cleaning; dustpan here, a small pile of scraps there and an open box that contains small tools "REPAIR KIT" it says on top. In the midst of them all stands two big black mechanical arms. At first glance one would thought it would have been from some Transformers movie or the newly released Pacific Rim Prototype. But then again all speculations are erased since there's a sticky note on the side that says

"Black Rock Shooter Strength OKAY"

Von: Heyya Kiefer, how's my arms doing?

Kiefer: Oh so early in the morning how punctual Ahahaha, here I guess its done come on in.

Von: Oooh what a mess. Damn that's hot stuff you got there. It look so real men. Siegfried come on in look what he made for me.

Sieg: As expected. Hey is that Aluminum? Or is it just some other metal plating?

Kiefer: Yes Yes it is. Really good I must say I got it cheap from the factory, though there's some dents on the far end. Its tolerable. I call it BattleScars.

Von: Oh I see what you did there. So bro how much would I need to pay for this?

KIefer: Before that Imma show you its functionalities hehehe.

Black Rock Shooter Okay I made this with a thin .5mm aluminum frame with a sturdy fiberglass interior. the skeleton is made with light alloy, as requested and a couple of servo motor for the moveable fingers.

Siegfried: I assume those servos are only for show

Kiefer: That's correct. XD ahahahah I've added Ball wheels at the bottom so you can move much easier bro

Von: Its not like we're going to war or anything

Kiefer: Yup but I've added a unique function it has hydraulics. You can use it to burst lift things with at most 40kgs, you can also use it to anchor the arms in place kinda like a wall, though it will punch a hole on the ground so please not in convention halls. Overall its a 18kg per arms.

Von: Lets load em up to the pickup then. This is not so restricting, cloth type cos and arms with rollers will be easy. Sieg you can cosplay today as well

Siegfried: Sure, Heathcliff would be nice

Kiefer: Oh that, I've replaced its padding last week so you won't have to worry about the jitters on your sides.

Von: So How much?

Kiefer: You have to use it first, then we'll talk. I'm not in for the money but its definitely needed though you're my sponsor so anything will do.

Von: Nah I'll give what you ask, just send me an email on how long and how much did you spend then.
