How to put it together
- 1
Put on the muscle suit first if you are using one to establish a bulky, powerful silhouette.
- 2
Layer the sleeveless dark red or rust-brown vest over the muscle suit or your bare chest.
- 3
Equip the heavy brown cargo pants and secure them with a thick utility belt.
- 4
Slide on the thick wrist bracers, ensuring they sit securely on your forearms.
- 5
Lace up your heavy combat boots, pulling the pants slightly over the boot tops.
- 6
Carefully place the signature dome helmet over your head, adjusting it so you have clear visibility through the eye slits.
Makeup & hair
Since the helmet covers your entire head, hair styling is not necessary. If you plan to remove the helmet, style your hair in a short, rugged look and use a dark eyebrow pencil to create a stern, aggressive expression.
