Disguise Costumes is revealing their 2021 lineup and with it, their licensed Transformers products targeting this year’s Halloween.
First and foremost we have the Bumblebee Wheelchair Cover. This is a great and thoughtful addition considering Transformers fans who use a wheelchair. The artwork features Evergreen/Cyberverse Bumblebee in his vehicle mode.
Bumblebee Adaptive Costume is another addition for differently-abled Transformers fans. This time we have Evergreen/Cyberverse Bumblebee in his robot mode.
The final addition to the new catalog is a ‘Treat-Your-Trunk Kit‘ featuring Transformers decals.
You can check out the images of all of the above, after the jump.

I thought these were supposed to be scary Halloween costumes. All I’m seeing is regular kid’s dress-up costumes that wouldn’t be out of season at any time of the year.
Needs more Energon “blood” splatters and battle damage wounds.

I hope these do well so we can see more investment in thoughtful and inclusive merch. After all, Transformers are the right of all sentient beings.

It would be even cooler is there was some way to integrate the wheelchair even more (such as the wheels) with the alt mode and/or found some way of \"transforming\" the figure, perhaps in a similar/reverse \"Jumpstarter\" method (the front of the robot is hunched over, to make the car mode\", which can \"spring\" up to form a robot mode)?

The wheelchair thing is very thoughtful and creative

The wheelchair "costume" is an admirable concept…Questionable execution.
Usually it's because these "superhero" kid's costumes seem to use the same basic muscle suit base, but then I noticed that the tires on the arms seem to have unique…shape/Molding? Which makes abs detail all the more confusing.

I don't think we use "differently-abled" anymore, although there's a big debate over whether one should use "person-first" or not – e.g. "disabled people" or "people with disabilities." I'm on the autism spectrum, and the consensus among us seems to be "autistic person." It's all terribly thorny.
That nitpick aside, I'm glad kids who use wheelchairs (I assume adult options aren't available? Too lazy to check….) have options that don't require a lot of DIY. DIY might be much better, but it's time-consuming and possibly expensive.

abs he have abs
I don’t see anyone buying this stuff where I live except for costume everything else for original transformer fans which look cartoony new transformer fans don’t like cartoony stuff of transformers that’s what made them into transformer fans begin with

I might have to get Transformers Treat Your Trunk Kit right after I vacuum out all that Beagle fur.
How do they lose soooo much hair and are not bald?

It's a great effort, but I'm more of a believer of trying to integrate the chair into the costume; like have the sides of the vehicle as the costume sides with wheel covers to make it look more like a car, not a wheelchair with a picture of a car on the side. Maybe it's having grown up with Power Wheels, which had all sorts of themed "front ends" on them, such as the Knight Rider one I had.
Over the years I've seen some awesome costumes, an X-wing, Batmobile, and others, that use the chair as the frame and the integral part of the costume and they always look so cool.

Not sure how the wheelchair kit would work in practice but it\'s AWESOME that they\'re trying to make it work.

The wheelchair thing is cool – parents of kids who use them have had to figure shit out for a very very long time, sometimes in some truly creative ways. I remember a while back where the kid had on the upper half of a Superman costume and then there was the rest of the body sticking out the back of the chair while a skyline was around the chair itself. Really cute stuff.
As much as I\'m glad for any sort of licensing deal type product, this one is genuinely nice.

We still do it here in NJ too, our town shuts down the entire main street on Halloween and makes an entire block party out of it.

Hi, actual parent here.
Kids still go door-to-door on Halloween. My son's daycare center has done trunk-or-treat events as a way to have a little extra fun with their families while parents get to meet teachers and other kids at the that go there.
Meanwhile, lots of kids also take advantage of malls and other larger establishments holding their own trick-or-treat nights when they live in neighborhoods with either fewer participants or in neighborhoods that can't afford to do big Halloween displays or even give away candy.
