His suit contains of a vehicle body, helmet, battery belt and even motor equipped drive boots, that allows the user to zoom around like an automobile at speeds of up to 10-15km/hr when in“vehicle” mode.

Since Drew custom-builds each suit from gently used toys and sporting gear, the drive suit can be made to resemble almost any vehicle. The suit takes about 50 hrs to create and cost about $1,800 USD each. Recently, Drew received an investment from Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary (Mr. Wonderful) who plans to set him up with a toy manufacturer. By next Christmas toy stores all over the world will be featuring Drew's amazing invention.
Reaction: This new invention is really cool and crafty. Everybody would want to buy something like that. It also came out right in time for Christmas. I think the transformer suit would make a cool halloween costume also. The price is a little too expensive though. People might not want to buy something so expensive.
World Impact: I don't think this really impacts the world much. Other inventors may try to copy this invention or create something similar to it. I don't see this invention going world wide untill later on in the future. Like I said before the costume is really expensive. People in other countires might not be able to afford the invention untill later on when the price is more reasonable.
