Weāve brought you hard-hitting coverageof the Miss Universe pageantās weird cosplay-esque section before, but this year featured something worth drawing further attention to: Miss USA dressed up as a Transformer.

It was part of the ānational dressā section of the pageant, where contestants wear crazy outfits that are usually inspired by their countryās history, traditions and/or culture. So Miss UK, for example, did a pretty great impression of Royalty, complete with replica of one of the crown jewels
Miss USA, on the other hand, decided to dress up asā¦Optimus Prime. For real. Iām sure someone, somewhere along the line told her that Prime isnāt American (either heās Cybertronian or Japanese, depending on how much you care), but Iām equally sure everyone else said shut up, heās red, white and blue and voiced by Peter Cullen, thatās American enough.
