Share your awesome Halloween costumes!

Submit your costume photos to be included in our annual costume gallery.

Whether you're a professional actor or an unknown with no prior experience, if you are lucky enough to snag yourself a place on The Transformers 4 Chinese Actor Talent Search, airing in June, then you might have a chance to see yourself alongside Autobots and Decepticons on the big screen:
